Yup, I do. People have problems pronouncing it and all but I think it's pretty =3 Not to mention unusual where I live.

My first name is Atticus, and if you've read To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, then you know how awesome it is!

So no, I don't like my name. I LOVE it! :D

I must say, though, that it does scare me a bit. Atticus from the book was true, honest, and brave. It's a big name to live up to. o_O

I do like my name, but many people tend to just call me by my last name (Chandler)

But I don't know anybody with my first name, so I am very happy about that

My name is Nicholas and I suppose it's an alright name. I hate it when people shorten my name to Nick though.

I'm called Cally, because my parents really liked Blake's Seven. That's alright. I live in the UK though, so no one can pronounce or spell it. That kinda sucks.

My names pretty cool, I mean not outlandishly cool like 'Max Power' but an understated cool, the kind of cool that doesn't bring undue attention due to it's coolness and thus cease to be cool.

What is it? Well it's the first name of the most celebrated Archer in English History, one of the most feared Vikings in English History,3 Kings of Scotland, a King of France, a King of Italy and the first British Prime-minister.

Milk and cookies to whoever guesses it.
Is it William? Only other famous archer I can think of is Robin Hood.

ROBERT!

Unfair advantage to me though, it be my name too.

Although I prefer to be called Bobert/Bob.

I'm fine with it. I have no reason to be hating it. Besides, the name gives me the feeling of being a 14th century explorer for some reason. YEAH! I BET MY ANCESTORS WERE A BUNCH OF BADASSES!

I suppose Robin Hood is more famous, but his existence is also debated, this archer is known to have existed.

Where did William come from? The only famous Archer I know called William was William Tell and he was a Swiss Crossbowman :p Also theres only been one King William of Scotland, none of Italy, and technically none of France.

So sorry, no milk and cookies for you :(

Gratz! Milk and cookies for you.



Do you really prefer Bob, I can't stand it. And is Bobert even name?

Well, I ended up with Bob cuz there were like 6 Roberts in my first year of secondary school, so instead of being "Rob C" all the time, I insisted on Bob. After a while it seemed to fit me more than Robert ever did.

And I doubt Bobert is a real name, but I use it anyway because it sounds awesome.

Yep, I do. It's a pretty common name, but I still haven't run into that many people who share my name. Anybody named Daniel in Sweden gets automatically called "Danne" by everyone as well. Saves me from odd nicknames, so it's all good.

It's OK!
I won't change it and it's one of the more common ones in Finland.
Niko was the name, by the way.
It was given to me by my dad, it's the same name as his childhoods best friends name.

Yeah, it's alright I guess. It's Matthew, means 'Gift of God' apparently. Kind of ironic since I haven't had time for any 'God' for quite some time now. Also don't feel much like a gift either.
