Names

I'm not sure if this has been done before?

I thought it might be cool if we all shared our (first) names in this thread to get to know each other a bit better

I'm Josie, there's no meaning behind it.

 

Shara - but I prefer to go by Riley

 

Is there any reason for that?

I personally prefer Josephine or Jose, I'm not very fond of Josie.

 

Mostly because my real name is constantly mispronounced and it is far beyond annoying.

 

...and the Pussycats!

la la
la la la la la

 

Aah, yes, mine isn't pronounced wrong, but often spelt incorrectly.

Adamant: -.-

 

Mitch.

Named after my great uncle

 

Sometimes I forget.

 

Simon.


But everyone calls me Raven in the real world and on the net.

 

Ben, yes the Uptown Rejects character is named after me.

So everyone can get to know me here is my full name, date of birth, credit card numbers, and social security!

 

Daniel. But I'm only called Daniel by employers who don't remember me saying "Please call me Dan."
And I'm also called Daniel by my Mom when I do something she doesn't approve of. When I hear her say my full name, then I run away.

 

Daniel...

 

My name is Michael. Terribly boring and ubiquitous these days. Just call me ev, i guess.

 

I'm Dave. But not David. That's the name the guv'mint uses for me.

 

Ashley-I was named after a guy my mom had a crush on (on a daytime soap opera) even though I am female. Thats the joke in the family-I don't think it is true though.

 

Ashley is mostly a popular female name, I thought? I went to highschool with several Ashleys - all female.

 

Edmund, but I go by Ed. I hate Eddie the way fire hates water.

 

Lynda with a y my father couldn't spell so I got a y instead of an i.
now every lynda is spelling it with a y.

Adamant there was a cartoon character called Atom Ant and that is what I see everytime I read your name.

 

My name is so obvious that a chimp could figure it out.

i.e: It is a name within a name.

 

Zoe?

 

Golden coins and silver buttons to I Love to Be Young

 

How exciting

 

Reviewer?

My name is Matt. But you can call me "Your Supreme Eminence".

 

I'm writing a short story right with a character in it whose name is Matt

 

It's a good name. Though strangely enough I don't like the name Matthew
