Joshua Giles.

Most people called me "Josh" and I was okay with it, it was normal. Then I started being called "Giles." It was awesome. I didn't realize how much better "Giles" is compared to "Josh."

But unfortunately, all of the people I know very well call me "Josh," and requesting that they call me differently would be strange. So I'm stuck with people I care less about calling me by the cooler name forever, I guess...

Sigh...

Bryn has things I like and things I don't.

Pros:
For one it is a real name, its Welsh, its mean "Hill". Its short and unique enough that I've never had a nickname stick.\

Cons:
"Is that a real name?" generally from people called "Shania" or "Taneeka", oh the irony. Also its misinterpreted as Bryan, Byron, Byrne, Brynt etc. Finally "is that short for something Bryncent, Bryndon or Brynieth?"

I happen to think that "Tess LaCoil" is a fantastic pun. So yes, I do.
Best name ever, by the way.

Christopher Allen Czarnecki.
Plus, if you take the first letter of my first name and the first syllable of my last name, you get C Czar which sounds like Caesar
you do know Czar came from Caesar, if you're appling that, my mistake
I know, but the play on words is neat to me.

I have a lovely name, through-and-through.
My last name doesn't quite fit me, but I'll let you find out what that is when I'm rich and famous.

Kthulhu's the owner/manager. He sometimes drops by to flutter his tentacles in hello.

I dont mind my name. Then again, I'm not exactly hot for it. It's just like 'meh, fair enough'. My name is Kane.

I guess the only thing about it that bothers me slightly is when I tell someone who has to write down my name for whatever reason and they scribble down Caine.

My name is Matthew, it's a bit ordinary, but I don't dislike it.

Everyone I know has called me Matty for a long time now, I disliked that at first, but I'm fine with it now.

I'm pretty much in love with my name. Check this shit out.
Michael Anthony Spencer
Seven letters in each
Seven vowels across them all
Seven syllables
and my birthday is the Seventh of September, and isn't "sept" also seven?
Yeah, sept is seven in French.


I like my name, Sebastian.

But if I could choose, I would have the name Liam, or Optimus Prime, either would be hardcore.

Simon.. "he has heard". The little Samuel. Samuel means "name of God" or "God has heard". Either of the two are just stupid, especially as I'm an atheist. Simon is kind of meh. Some think it's cute, and I guess it could be. Problem is, I rarely am. Okay, so my looks can be deceivingly cute, but that's me being deceiving. Okay, so I am loving and cuddly.. but only nowadays. Shut up.

And to bring madness upon any who look upon him, correct? (At least I think that's part of the lore...I'll have to read the Necronomicon I bought myself for Christmas...)
EDIT: And on the subject of names, no, Max is not short for anything. Not Maximilian, not Maximus, not anything.
And I refuse to divulge my last name because it's fucking embarrassing.
I haven't gone mad. He seems a cool guy actually. Very chilled.

And go onnnn.. what's your last name?

Jerry...... but type it or quote it or anything else with it and I shall have your head on my mantle before you can say 'Have you seen the marvelous breadfish'!!!!
I actually use Jerry as my nickname. I don't know very many people at all who share my real name, which is Jeremiah.

I legally changed my name to Peter. It was Panagiotis, which is Greek for Peter. Since I never used Panagiotis, and, hell, I couldn't even spell Panagiotis until I was 17, I legally changed my name the second I turned 18.

So, yeah, I hated my name, but I like what it translates to, and what it is now.

Mine is Aaron. Nice and simple, same name as my girlfriend (different spelling, though). It was my great grandfather's middle name, my grandfather's middle name, and my father's middle name. It's somewhat of a family tradition at this point.
