    MWTK: If you could change your first name - what?



    (sort of) in conjunction with the "what vegetable should i name my child after" thread:

    If you could be called something else i.e This was your name from birth

    Would you rather have a more spectacular name?

    What would that name be? Blade, Swordfish, Henwrinkel Chestohair Yoghurt Train?

    Need another poll choice.

    My name itself is fine, but I have the same name as my father, and it's confusing and annoying as fuck for anyone mailing, emailing or telephoning.

    And for that reason alone I fucking hate it.

    Actually, thinking about this, no one (apart from Police and Judges) uses my first name. I have always been known by my middle name for similar reasons to those expressed by Mr Ferris Jr.

    I like my name, or rather I like the shortened version of my name, so the parents did ok.
    Thankfully, no one ever uses the full version.

    To be honest, I don't react to the full version, unless I know I have done something wrong and am about to be busted for it!

    I'm cool with my Christian name.

    What I'm not cool with is Browncam changing my name to righty.

    meh it's just a name, so saying I don't like it shortened, the other half though, gets mighty pissed if his full name is used, more so if he's been introduced with his shortened name

    If I was to change it to anything would just be my shortened name.
    We are small and exposed, and probably moving too fast for our own good, but that's no reason not to enjoy every minute of the ride.

    I would change my entire name to Ian Maxwell Awesome. This way I could alternativemy be called Max Awesome, I M Awesome or just Mr Awesome.

    When I get tired of the fame I'll just go by Ian which is an OK name I guess..

    I like mine, but sometimes I wish I was a Cam, just to confuse people on PSB and possibly use this confusion as an alibi.

    Hey Righty....i mean cameron michael.. i mean.... um what?
    As a general rule, the better it felt when you said it, the more trouble it's going to get you into.

    PSB needs more Cam's. They're all pretty awesome in unconventional ways
    In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.

    My sister abhors the long version of her name; she demands it only be used if in trouble (Rebekah/Bec). I should probably change my first name to match my ring tone... "Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan... maybe thats not Alan?" My parents decided to be fancy and spell my name in a way that's easily confusable with the female equivalent (Deane/Deanne)
    ...but I've learned to live with it, so it stays.

    My initials are PDF and have been for more than half a century. My parents were forward thinkers. Any USB's, DVD's or CD's out there?
