Well, it would have been kinda ironic, considering I am a blond, Southern American on the large side.Call Me Jose said:

Alexis. I like my name, I think there's a lot that can be done with it as far as nicknames go. My baby brother calls me Lexi and I can also go with Alex or Lex if I want something more gender neutral (not into girly names).
I also love that it means "defender of the people" or "defender of man". Makes me feel like a badass.

Eric. I don't like it, lol. Not because it's a nerdy name. Idk. Just not crazy about it. Could call me Robert maybe. It's my middle name. 
My name's Graham. It's uh... yeah. what can you say about it?
I was called Graham Cracker a lot in elementary school. That shit drove me crazy. Looking back... not so bad.
Appreciate that.

My name is Cody. Somehow, it has the ability to be uncommon and completely generic at the same time and doesn't really fit me at all. Example - A Google search for famous Codys shows that they are mostly athletes. I like participating in sports occasionally, but I would never describe myself as "athletic". Only about 5% of the famous Codys I found were associated with the arts.
Also, because my parents felt like punishing their kids with their given names, my only brother is named "Corey". People calling me "Corey" has happened to me so much in my life that I don't even think to correct people anymore when they make the mistake...which happens constantly (even amongst those who don't know my brother).
Finally, I've only met like three people named Cody and it's been a really strange assortment of people. One is a member of my fraternity. He's the only other person in my social circle that, like myself, has lived in Beijing. Another was a female stripper, which is really weird when friends start talking about "Cody on Cody" action. Finally, a female classmate who shared the exact same name as me (both first and last). While not interested in her, I couldn't help but laugh at how awesome wedding invitations would look.
Not a fan. I kind of want to change my name to "Danger" or something equally idiotic. A stupid sounding name would suit my goofy sense of humor just fine.

Actual given name is derived from an old Hebrew name. The original bugger, according to the myths got renamed.
However when I am not referring to myself as a drifter of some variety then before you stands one Jack Learza. The first name being a nick of a very infamous London resident, the last is a rather easy play on letters of the original.
Lets see how good are your trivia skills, should not be too hard given the hints.

My name is Derek.
I'm glad my name doesn't seam very common because on the rare occurrence I share my name with someone else in a conversation, especially in a game using ventrilo it is a nightmare coordinating movement, formation and anything if some one says "Derek go in" or "Derek ult!" I'll end up wasting resources or think the command was issued to the other Derek. Only meet 2 other Dereks' so it hasn't been a problem. You'd also think with gamer tags it would't be a problem but I very much prefer the casual and personal first name communication with any one I meet or play with male or female. Its not your fault other Dereks' its both ours.
Many of you have interesting names and even the "boring" ones as people point out aren't as common around here as you'd think. I've never met a Cody before.

I'm called 'DJ' by just about everyone I know; welcome to the club of names that are spelled the exact same way they are pronounced!Bravo Company said:
My actually first name is Donnell, but I avoided using that name most of the time. I think I was just getting really sick of being called 'Donald', and a lot of people already used DJ anyways. I rather like Donnell, but depending on how you pronounce it sounds very feminine; I have no idea why I think so.
I don't really have a name that lends itself to nicknames. First name is short, one syllable. I'm about as likely to respond to it as I am to 'Tom'.
My last name however is Kinnunen. Which would be perfectly fine. If I lived in oh, say Finland. Sadly I do not, so I've had to come to terms with it never being pronounced correctly.
I personally like the name, but it does get annoying to have to spell it out for people every goddam time.
A friend of mine once composed a ditty based on a mispronunciation of 'Kinnunen'. It annoys the piss out of me to this day.

but yeah, my name. I'm impartial honestly. Kyle isn't anything special. my elder brother is a "the third", and my younger brother is a lazy ass IMEAN... shit. whatever. his name is kris, and so all of our names start with a k. 4 out of 5 people in our house with a K name is the only real distinctions my or my younger brother's name have.
My name is Rahul, the equivalent to John Doe when I was born in India. Then, I move to the states and it's still popular...
Skylar Fried, like fried chicken, one of my best friends is named Sean Blais we're terrified that any cop that pulls us over won't believe were being serious lol.
My username is actually my name. Augustine is my confirmation name. Stash is short for Stanislaus.
William Noble is my name. I have been called Will since Freshman year, which I've grown used to in the two years since then, but some people in middle school called me wet willy just 'cause... My last name has had the inevitable response "You don't seem very noble."
My full name is Michael Lawrence Howard (All first names, WOO!!!...). I'm fine with Michael and all, but if I got to pick, I'd probably name myself something like Tom or Paul. Yes, that would be nice. Also notable, I did not even know my middle name until I was around 7-8 years old.
Edit: I always went by Michael and only really allowed my parents, and this one kid (don't ask me why), to call me Mike or Mikey. Also, my dad often called me Babalou (Ba like the sound sheep make, and Lou as in the name)or something like that (dunno how it was spelled or where it's from, I just know that he called me that a lot). And also, my two best friends just so happen to be named Michael as well, and so together, we are the three Michael-teers.

Did you get that avatar recently or something? You certainly look like a cat to me... I've always wondered what life would be like if I went by my middle name or some variation of it.Kiyeri said:

Vinnie/Vinny (George Carlin, may his ashes hit someone in the eye like he would have wanted, said it is a tough name but it sounds like a baby name to me...so conflicted)
Vince (Totally doesn't fit for my appearance, but whatever)
