I'm not sure if this is a kosher topic, and there might already be one similar to it, but,
I have a bit of pet peeve with having to address people by inane screen names. So despite the fact that everyone on the internet is, in reality, a 50 year old man sitting in a bathtub in Pittsburgh, let's get to know eachother's names, shall we?
Call me Jason if you like. Or if you don't like, for that matter. The only nickname I have is 'Jase.'
-
Someone kerble this properly, please.
-
I was under the impression that necro-posting was strongly frowned on, and raising a thread from the dead to add my name would earn me a heaping helping of bitching. So I figured this would be the safer route.
-
I had to google what kerble meant. Thank god for urban dictionary.
OK carry on :-)
-
I go by Malorie, generally. Fred, if you work with me.
I despise Mal but most people end up shortening my name to that anyhow. So, I deal.
-
There are some who call me... Liz?
-
You can call me Franz Hitler if you want. Some people do.
-
I be's Cory.
If you weren't quite sharp enough to deduce that from my screen name.
-
i'm tania.
-
I hight Fletcher.
-
Now this ain't my real name, but da boyz in da hood all call me Da Big Nick Griddle for what it's worth.
-
I'm Johann Von Beardedfellow.
-
mooface is actually my real name.
-
That is the most awesome real name ever.
Samma is fine --people who come through my line at work always try to tell me how unique it is and then I have to go and ruin it by telling them that it's just short for Samantha --which no one Professors and people who don't know me better call me (oh, and BK when he's annoyed).
Otherwise, just PQ...or if you insist, PQ4.
-
mooface is actually my real name.
Oh no way me too.
-
I like to go by 'Delicious Dan'. Or 'Delectable Dan'. Or maybe sometimes I like to be called 'Twirly Shirley'. There is no funny story behind that. My existence is a sad thing and I like to make up for it by inventing names. But really, no one has ever called Twirly Shirley, nor do I think anyone ever will.
My purpose is void.
-
My name is Goatse MacTubgirl
-
My existence is a sad thing and I like to make up for it by inventing names. But really, no one has ever called Twirly Shirley, nor do I think anyone ever will.
You hear that everyone? From now on, call him "Twirly Shirley."
-
John. But there are a lot of Johns around here, so I also go by Al / Alex / Kevin / Jack. Probably a few more I'm not immediately remembering.
-
Eli is my nickname and most people call me that since there's usually more than one Elizabeth.
-
Actually, you can call me Dick. I'd like that.
-
My name eh? (http://quiki.net/wiki/Real_Names) Matt. Most likely the youngest Matt here.
-
Slick. Oh my god. I keep staring at your avatar and it always looks like it's moving but it's not and it is FREAKING ME OUT.
Me llamo Jordan, aber Ozy ist einfacher.
-
Man, me too, but I wrote it off as me being delirious with fever.
(I think I accidentaly gave myself a bacterial infection. Whoops)
-
Most people on the forums call me Jimmy (which is not really my name but is close enough I guess) or Squiddy (which I am referred to more often than Jimmy in meatlife).
I'll also answer to Roozi. Don't ask.
-
My name is FRASER!
-
Call me Ishmael.
-
Robbie. Rob if you don't understand that I'm called Robbie and Robert if your my Gran. You could also call me by any other name but i probably wouldn't answer.
-
If you're sick of addressing me as "Inlander", feel free to call me Ignacio.
-
Blobbo.
-
Luke, I am your father.
My name is Inigo Montoya you killed my father prepare to die.
What are you, dense? Are you retarded or something? Who the hell do you think I am? I'm the goddamn Batman!
-
My name eh? (http://quiki.net/wiki/Real_Names) Matt. Most likely the youngest Matt here.
Not anymore.
Also go by Matt, although I am rather fond of Matthias.
-
i really hope/wish everyone will call me "mooface" at tronnocon.
-
Luke, I am your father.
My name is Inigo Montoya you killed my father prepare to die.

Way to steal all the good responses D:
-
Oh no! People might actually have to think of one on their own!
-
The name is Bond,...James Bond.
-
I go by Jerome.
-
My name is Paul. Honestly.
-
If you really want to you can call me sean. But I really don't care what you call me. For example, you can call me Dick Sucker McGee and I'd be cool with it.
-
I will also answer to Cupcake. Or Justine Bateman.
-
WHAT EVER WILL WE DO
HERE HAVE A CUPCAKE ON A STICK AND FEEL BETTER

-
My name is Dana, but I answer to Calen because of my screen name.
-
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you, and you may call me V.
-
Seriously, every time somebody quotes that I can't help but think that it's one of the worst pieces of writing I've ever read.

This is the truth ^
My name is the real world is Dashiell. Try pronouncing it correctly. It's an endless source of amusement.
-
Then I'm guessing it's not pronounced the way it's spelled.
Oh, and my name is pretty damn obvious. All that's lacking from my username and my real name is an "ey" attached to the end, which I cropped to prevent misspellings of my name.
-
...but how can it be misspelled if it's spelled properly right there?
-
Andy. But I'll answer to pretty much everything, even whistles. /barks.
-
...but how can it be misspelled if it's spelled properly right there?
I don't know how or why, but it just does. I've gotten papers back with notes starting out, "Lindsay, your paper is suchandsuch" or they leave out the d or spell it with a z... Yeah, it just happens.
-
My name is Christian.
-
What is this, Cheers? Where everybody knows your name?
Oh, and you all forgot "My name is Jim, but most people call me....Jim."
My name is somewhere in my username. That's right, you can call me InKa.:p
-
LIES!!! I shall call you nInK!
-
I don't know how or why, but it just does. I've gotten papers back with notes starting out, "Lindsay, your paper is suchandsuch" or they leave out the d or spell it with a z... Yeah, it just happens.
My wife's name is Lyndsay....She feels your pain. Then again, tinkering with names is one of my pet peeves. I know Lindsey/say/ysey and all that is pretty common, but my brother named his son Alixzander. Yes, that's how they spelled it.
-
just replace the z in my username for an a and you have my real-life name ..... however telling people my name usual makes them either sing a particular elton john song or tell me about their grandmother with the same name (seriously why do i have to share my name with a million grandmothers)
-
telling people my name usual makes them either sing a particular elton john song
Not an aria from the opera Norma by Bellini? Pssh, philistines.
-
Actually it is my grandmother's sister whose name is Norma. (Sorry.)
My name is Joe. But whenever anyone here talks about Joe they're usually talking about the Hocking Joe, so I really don't mind at all if nobody ever uses it.
-
I was more thinking of the source of Goodbye Norma Jeane, than the song.
-
I am a Tom, one of the tens of thousands of other people named Tom. Mum thought it would be a good idea to name me Tom, Dad thought Huw was a good idea. Guess who I agree with. There are, on average, a total of three Toms in each one of classes.
though Dad didn't succeed in sparing me my name he at least prevented my sister from being called Phillippa.
-
Nick. Not all that original. Although I'm the only Nickolas I've ever met, besides a Nikkolas I knew in high school everyone else spells it the ch way.
-
I am Erik. My screen name is perfectly fine though... And unless you put your name in your signature or something, I don't see me starting to use your given name instead of your screen name.
-
Dad didn't succeed in sparing me my name he at least prevented my sister from being called Phillippa.
I think Phillipa is a nice name, especially shortened to Pip, or especially to Flip.
it probably helps that every girl I know named Phillipa is achingly cute.
-
My name is Joe. But whenever anyone here talks about Joe they're usually talking about the Hocking Joe
Now I'm inclined to think that any and all Joes on this forum should have their names appended with a verb-esque word ending in the "-ing" suffix. Perhaps you could be Joe Wheeling.
-
I always address him by Joe Hocking and not just his first name, so I will start calling you Joe now. How's that?
-
I was very disappointed to discover that this thread had nothing to do with llamas.

Yes, but it doesn't have a watermark and is therefore inferior. GET NEW ONES.

That is the funniest description of my last name I've ever heard. still laughing

My name is Jacques Offenbach. Or at least, I wish it was -- SUCH AN AWESOME NAME.

What is this... "Kalkoolooss" you speak of?
-
they call me dr. worm. good morning, how are you, i'm doctor worm
man i used to love that song
-
Is it wrong that I still love that song?
Also, that I listen to their children's album on a semi-regular basis?
One of the most energetic, entertaining live shows I've seen, too. <3
-
At four of two I was staring into space she was not yet late according to the clock...
That was an awesome album
I Am Not Your Broom was a high point on it for me.
-

I question your degree good sir, please provide evidence that you are in fact a medical profesional. However I will say I believe you are an elongated, soft-bodied invertebrate.
-
Well, I'm not a real doctor.
I do play the drums though. I think I'm getting good.
-
I think it is fairly generally known, but just in case, I am Amanda/Manda. I thought this was a pretty common name, but I actually run into relatively few people with the same name, which is good since it is a shitty boring name!
But anyway, call me Manda and we'll all know who you're talking about.
-
my name's Danny but alot of people call me Dino (pronounced dee-no, like in the Flintstones).
do what you will with this information.

I do not like Grease. I think it is dull and shallow. Also that guy is totally wearing women's boots.
-
I'm Jacob but I go by either Jacob or Robochest.

I like how they crossed out the logos on those Converse thinking that they've made them instanly unrecognizable.
-
I be Phil.
Just Phil. To everybody, grandparents included.
-
I won't even bother trying to learn y'all names since I am likely to forget them in the next... five minutes or so, but nontheless I shall give you
the name I go by:
Fabian.
... its a terribly German name, so y'all can call me
Paul...
My second name. Sounds WAAAAAY cooler in English.
-
can you take the image out of your signature please? i am not trying to be a jerk, but if i don't mention this someone meaner than me probably will.
-

That article is pretty awesome. I'm fond of the name "Sterling Mortlock" myself.
My name is Casey. Call me Casey or perish in flames.
I also accept Sandman (as it's my usual online handle) or anything that follows the formula sand(noun). Sandboat, Sandmang, Sandbot, Sandtower, it's all good. As long as it's not Sandvagina. (I somehow get that one a lot.)
-
Who is John Galt?

Narr, are you at the bat? Please tell me you're at the bat.

GIANT PEACH
When I was in grade six, that movie came out, and back then I was still fairly short and my teacher was a six foot plus bald man named Mr. Peach. That was not a good time to be named James.
-
I realize I'm late to the party on this one, but you fuckers can call me Alex.
-
You might guess my name, as I always sign my posts... But for those interested in second names (often more off-the-wall than first names) mine is Winfrith, the Celtic name of the British missionary to Germany subsequently known as St Boniface - at least I didn't get called that!
Paul

My name is Marilyn. Every school I've ever gone to has had at least one librarian named Marilyn. My middle school had two consecutive ones, I believe.
People think I'm named after the state.
-
If it makes you feel better, I have a sister named Marian. Imagine how that goes over every time she tries to check out a book.
-
Ubani gamalakho i-Zed
yeah, another big let down, my nick is written on my avatar :(
Relatively interesting story for those of you who know what Zol is (Zed is short for Zollie!)
Of course my mother wasn't that interesting and gave me the most overused Christian name in the universe - Michael.
-
Chris. Hola.

This made me chuckle quite a bit.

-
Now I want to get the joke.
Best part: not even a joke, just the sad, sad truth about why my sister has no sense of humor.
-
At the start of the year, every single one of the four librarians at my college campus was called Chris. Then Chris fired Chris and hired some dude who isn't called Chris so it's a bit disappointing but still, if you make a loud noise in the library you have a 75% of being thrown out by someone called Chris. This amuses me.
Also, my name is May. But I tend to answer to Barmy on here, so let's stick to that one. There's way too many jokes to be made out of my name, sometimes it surprises me.
-
A lot of the months in spring/early summer are girls' names. I wanna meet a girl named March.
-
I want to meet a girl called November.
-
November is easily the hottest girl's name ever.
-
I was counter-snarking Joe..but I think you're right.
-
I'd rather go out with a girl who's name is stolen from an obscure Azerbaijani holiday.
-
What bugs me is when people are named after countries.
Come on, people. America? You can't think of a better name than the country you live in? And the fact that there are people who have the name China who aren't slutty wrestlers makes me sick.
Fuck it, I'm just going to name my child (I will never have a child) Kyrgyzstan.
-
The best name one can give to their child is one that consist of a single letter. One of our teachers once told us of this woman who named her child β. Dunno whether a law was set preventing that shortly afterwards, though.
-
I know someone who had a friend called Tuesday. She got a lot of jokes along the lines of "it's not your day today, is it, Tuesday?" and so forth. I tend to get "bit early for the time of year, aren't you?" or "Maybe it's Maybelline" etc.
I'd say that it's made me determined to give my children ordinary names, but I've got my heart set on Mathilda and Tabitha (female twins run in our family so girls' names will be more likely to be used). I'll give my sons normal names though, I'm not a complete sadist.
-
For those of you who know music theory, my friends were sitting around discussing such theory when someone decided that Cadence would be a nice girls name, to which it was rebuttaled that Perfect Authentic would be a better name.
Also, my name is Paul, which apparently etymologically translates to small, and the surname of Schneck, which is German for snail. Why my parents named me small snail is beyond me.
-

That isn't a letter, though, is it? It's the beta symbol, right?
-
Ummm...beta IS a letter...
-
I just thought it was a symbol. I guess I'm wrong, then.
-
Fuck it, I'm just going to name my child Djibouti.
fix'd
-
Also, it is commonly used in German as a double-s (Scheisse! = Scheiβe!).
what you're thinking of is an Eszett. it's actually a letter in the German alphabet and is not the same as the beta symbol.
it looks like this: ß
-
German letters are fun! Name your kid Y, but in German. "Oopsilong" is much cooler than "why". But ß could be fun, too. Americans would call you, "Funky looking B thing" unless they knew what the letter was.
-
oh man...if you were from Germany and you named your kid "G" and then he came to America and told everyone his name was "gay"
-
I had a third cousin named Gay once! She lived in Minnesota and was really really nice.
-
I met a girl named Cinnamon once. I imagine she gets a lot of stripper jokes.
-
There's a girl at my college named Princess.
There's more. Her middle name?
Diana
-

I was about to say that I knew someone called Gay.
But then I saw the picture at the bottom of the page and am now going to say "DEMON LLAMA" and hide.
My friend knows someone called Jack Toff. Either his parents are stupid or sadistic, but either way I'd love to hear his teachers calling the register.
-
In my high school they have photo frames with pictures of the individuals from each graduating class. Somewhere in the 70s there was a girl named Gay LaDouche.
Tee hee.
-
I wonder how she is doing now. I'd Google her, but I know better than to Google anything with "gay" or "douche" in it.
-
I met a girl named Cinnamon once.
urgh bad memories

Nope no good, I'm Red now and then here;)
-
Am I missing something for not getting why Pete = Penis jokes?
We could call you Ghost, if you wanted. But two Reds would be confusing.
-
Am I missing something for not getting why Pete = Penis jokes?
Peter is a (increasingly less common) slang term for a dick. So there you are.
-
ok I'll jump in on this. I'm Jared.... not like the subway guy or the jewelry store or the lead singer of 30 Seconds to Mars. Like me. Pronounced the same as all of them though. I don't know how people get Gerrod or gerred from that spelling but they do all the time.
I used to go by my middle name Vincent... aka vinnie but it doesnt fit me. I am a preppy pale white guy with dirty blond hair and blue eyes that sells insurance. Vinnie just doesnt work...
