Your Name.

[Ashhearth]

James Zolyak. You do a google search and I'm the only one that'll pop up so i guess that's kinda awesome.

Narcissism aside I like my name as is. I don't do that Jim crap or lord forbid Jimmy (bleh) however I am ok with variants on my last name since I've heard so many. Go ahead try and come up with one I haven't heard. Also its pronounced Zol-Yak just two non-funky syllables.

Is that the secret?! Looks like I'm making more cookies!

I'm a sucker for cute things, and those cookies are desperately adorable X3. Unfortunately only my female friends seem to make cute foods for me, and I end up rewarding them by making them cute foods too... It's a never-ending circle of cuteness! I think doing little cute stuff like this can really win a girl over, I know I'd be sold... And making something like a cute pandaface isn't much work and very easy to learn.

I hate hearing my name on TV or in movies, it's really weird to me.

Well I can understand that. I once saw a bus in town that had my name on the front, that was weird... If they are driving busloads of tourists to my place, I think it may be time to start showering with a bikini on X3. Honestly though, what FOOL puts a damn window in the bathroom... Not a small one, half of one wall is a full-size window. I've put some blinds on there so people can't see in, but being somewhat paranoid I still feel a bit exposed... Always afraid there may be a little gap someone is looking trough!

When the chance arises I shall create the cutest cookies in the world..

I have a window in my bathroom too, and the blinds are always up! It's ridiculous. I live out in the country and the window is at ground level in the front of the house. I feel like someone is always going to pull in while I'm ripping my clothes off!

My last name is Kane and I see it on things occasionally. It will be hard to resist the urge to name a future child Kandy. As pornstar as that sounds I think it would be hilarious, then again she would probably grow up to hate me..

 

[Call Me Jose]

Lucien . Fuck that name . And fuck my parents for namig me that . LUCIEN is NOT a black mans name dammit!

Yea, I can agree with you there, I could see people calling you Lucy which definitely isn't any better.

For any basketball fans, Wade is a cool name to have (Dwayne Wade).

Yea you dodged a bullet, but at least you wouldn't have to pick any brand of jeans for the rest of your life if you had the name Levi

 

[BNguyen]

My name is Brandon but people very rarely use it (at least people who aren't biologically or emotionally close to me). I've had nicknames like "turtle" and "buddha" probably more likely than not because I happen to be Asian, a little overweight, and for the turtle name because I wore a green jacket all the time

I know I'd feel some hatred for sure, if my dad called me that =p. Especially for the porn part though! My roomie always pulls up the blinds in my bathroom and sometimes I don't really notice it. Really annoying to come out of the shower and only then notice it. It hasn't happened in nighttime yet though, and when it's dark outside and light inside it's easy to feel extremely uncomfortable about what unseen things lurk beyond the glass X3.

Kane [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kane_%28Command_%26_Conquer%29] is always cool Oo.

My names just create one great big ball of awesome!

I have a window just above the headboard on my bed and there is no way I can sleep with the blinds up, it's just so freaky! The other day I was about to jump in the shower and I see white out of the corner of my eye through the window. I turned to look and it was the dog peeking in. I jumped so bad!

 

[Shifty]

My nickname is Shifty.

When I was younger I had a shaved head and I got thick stuble. I looked rough enough. Anyway I was getting a passport photo taken on a really bad day (just out of visiting my dying grandad) and the fucking machine told me to smile. I was got annoyed and the photo was taken of me trying to stare down a camera. My mates saw the picture and said I looked awful shifty. The name has stuck with me ever since. I do get funny looks when I am introduced as shifty but am used to it now.

Hah, if some animal did that I'd die X3. I've yet to be scared by a movie, TV or game, but real life gets to me a lot X3. I'm pretty easy to spook. My great terror is that I'll come out of the shower one day, and someone pale will stand outside staring in Oo. Or one of the teenage boys in the area... I'm terrified that a teenage boy will get a crush on me after seeing me naked XD. That sounded bad, I really don't think I'm all that sexy... But a lot of teenagers take anything X3.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

My name's a religious one. I use to not like it when I was a child because it sounded too serious. So I preferred to go by my many nicknames instead. As I got older, I decided that my birth name was becoming more fitting than my childish nicknames, so I owned it and moved on. I still enjoy my nicknames, but prefer most times to be called by my birth name.

I tend to enjoy the fact that I'm named after my grandfather and not because of it's religious origin.

 

[Fraught]

My name's Johan.

I don't like it because it's really characteristic to a certain geographical area (in this case, Scandinavia, and no, the German name is Johann, though I guess I don't have much to whine about with variations so similar to it, like John and Johann) and the most common nickname for a Johan where I have lived most of my life - Estonia - is Juss.

You may not think much of it, but it rhymes with 'tuss', which is the Estonian word for vagina, and not the nice, vagina type of neutral word for it. Though, I have to admit, anyone hasn't called me that since I (and including most of my circle of friends) turned, like, 12.

I like it because everyone else is either neutral towards it or likes it. And I guess outside of that one instance, it's a name that's hard to be made fun of.

And I can just start introducing myself as John in the future, when I find myself settling in a more Anglo-centric corner of the world. I can just pretend the 'a' is silent.

 

[Brutal Peanut]

Vanessa. Eh, it's alright. However, some people really like it and comment about how much they like it; which is weird to me. Believe it or not, people also misspell and mispronounce it more often than you'd think, with an 'e'. ve-NESS-nah , nope. va-NESS-ah.

People usually just shorten it to 'Nessa'. However, my family has been calling me Peanut for ages. Not sure where that came from. I am not even sure they remember where it came from. They just do.

 

[Rblade]

My Names Tim

so, It was a little annoying being called Timmy in high school, but overall, I guess my names fine

then there must be some that call you ..... Tim

aaahhhh good times

captcha: "no way" I swear the escapist is employing mind readers to make me laugh by means of captcha

OT: Reinoudt, which is pretty rare. Nicknames Ruud because people think I looked like van Nistelrooy at some point. Rman in my DnD group, the other people being called H, R and D. Yes we are a very lazy group of people.
lately 1 person insists on calling me "the beard" because I grew one. I don't know if that will stick. I'm indifferent about it.
I've been called less flatering things in my early teens but I won't grace those that felt the need to do so with the honor of mentioning them here.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I feel like my name is kind of a place holder...It's Joseph but I go by Joe which is fine but just kind of lacking in a way I can't really explain. As for my last name, I'm planning on changing it when Dad dies. Probably go with something like Vincent Rei or something.

 

[Flamezdudes]

My name is a typical Irish name, Patrick. My middle name being Joshua since they struggled to choose between them. Patrick was their choice because of my grandad's name and my Irish heritage.

I like it and I like the nicknames I get as well like Paddy and Pat.

 

[Call Me Jose]

snip

I think it sounds cool, and not because of Matt Damon, it's just different and easy to remember (that is probably because of Matt Damon though)

snip

This is the manliest name by far on the face of the earth of course, how could I have not seen it!

snip

I'm curious, where did your username Eddie the head come from?

snip

At least its the same way to pronounce "Sean" as "Shawn" . Some people call me Josey as in rhyming with Rosey when reading my name.

 

[The Funslinger]

I'm a JR. so my first name's origin is pretty obvious. Most people just called me Daniel, however a lot of people in high school called me by "Fitz", which is what you get when you drop the -gerald off of my last name. I kind of liked it, but only a few people called me Fitz in college. Most of the people who still do are old high school friends I don't see much anymore.

Come the next Expo, I'll always call you Fitz

My name's Jack. I was named after my great grandfather on my mother's side. He lied about his age so he could fight in WW1, and survived the Battle of the Somme.

I also received something of a familial nickname. My great grandfather on my dad's side was called John Donald Sturdy, and his nickname through the village was JD.

So my middle name is Donald, and everyone calls me JD.

Then fucking Scrubs came along!

 

[Fuhrlock]

My name really has no significance outside of my Mum thought of it to stop my Dad naming me (the more hindsight achieved the wiser the idea that was) and it was what she came up with at the time that she didn't hate. Zak works fine as a name but it does slightly annoy me that people always assume it is spelt differently (that is annoyed with the name not with the people).

 

[MortifiedPenguin]

My full name is Katherine Harrap, the only annoying thing about it is how people never get it right, even my school spelt my name wrong.
