I really like my name, wouldn't have it changed. It means something like full of life, lively..
The only trouble is that it's a french name, but where I live we speak german, and germanspeaking people are unable to pronounce it correctly, resulting in forms of address who are either misspelled or have the wrong gender -.-

And I don't like being called by nicknames cause they only make my name longer (I have a four letter name and nicknames only make it longer).
I shall call you Bo from now on, then. *nod*

Sean ... the version that nobody seem to know how to spell. I still love it.
I love my name mostly because it's full of spelling traps kinda like that...
First name. It's a Z not an S...
Middle name. PH may sound like F, but nooo. Also, it's not so-fee-a, for some reason my mom made it speshul and should be pronounced sof-ya.
Last name. Just tricky Danish one... Has a hard-to-hear ne in it that people sometimes miss.

I much prefer being called by a nickname (even if the most used one is just a slightly twisted version of my middle name). I even prefer being called a nickname OF my nickname... Zoph, yay.

oh god at least we're not gnomes from DnD. those crazy things have a name from everyone. they have infinite names because dad gives them a name, mom gives them a name, grandma gives you a name, your other relatives, all your friends etc.....
This. Was once in a campaign with two gnomes... I can't remember what their players named them, but it was kinda awesome when they started presenting themselves.

Well thank you then.
Actually, the shortest nickname you can give me that makes sense..is K. Only K.

Last name. Just tricky Danish one... Has a hard-to-hear ne in it that people sometimes miss.


I hate Danish last names... Why must they be so hard pronounced?

@HahiHa

Yeah, I've experienced that. I think there are only five people that pronounced my name right the first time they saw or heard it.
And if they hear of my name the first time, but have never seen me, they don't know if I'm a boy or a girl.

Eh, not really. It's too long, it takes some time to write. >.< And it's very rare to find someone who spells it correctly.

Hey Leo, is your name Leo?

Coz I have a friend named Leo.

You remind me of him.

O_T

I really like mine, it's Spencer. I have a very Celtic background, and both my middle and last names are Irish, but Spencer is apparently a French name for, uh, dispenser of goods, so... yeah. Anyway, I don't know many other Spencers, and it just sounds good with any nickname. Of which I have very many.

Lol I don't think so. A dispenser of goods would be un distributeur in French, unless there is some new trendy word I don't know of.

actually I've seen a lot of origins for it, that was the first one i remember. It could just be an English corruption of the French word. I just looked it up again, it's also got Middle English and Irish origins.

Huh.

People are naming their children Cola and Rambo nowadays, so I think this is a lesser evil

Hey Leo, is your name Leo?


Of course, although it was not given to me upon birth. In fact I'm not sure what was. I have two names.

I'll give you a clue, my name means Guardian/Protector...and it also means strong willed warrior.

Leo means lion. I chose the name Leo because I think a lion symbolizes those two things.

I feel there is awesomenesserz inside my name.

Awesomenesserz; I have to use that one some time. *writes it down*
