Trust me, if you had a name like "Cipriani" or "Bartolucci" or "Bandolini", youo'd want a regular name, too! Had I wanted people on this forum to know my real name (which is Italian and is about thirty letters long! Seriously, it gives Schwarzenegger a run for its money!) I would have provided it to you. I want users on this forum to refer to me as "Jones"! Nothing more, nothing less; "SOnny" if you would like. "Casey" was a nickname given to me from someone long ago, it is not my name.

How many damn times do I have to go over rewriting the same post, I'll just change my username then, so then you all can simply use it!

d*mn...it must be tough to keep up with all those names/nicknames, dude.

alright in the spirit of sharing potentially different and ridiculed names

if I had been a boy I would have been named after my great grandfather

Gunna Toivo

VERY finnish name there, but I think it would have been a cool name, mainly because NO ONE else I know has ever had a name even vaguely close to it!

so, to me uncommon names are usually pretty cool, except maybe for Brunhilda or Bertha, those are pretty horrific!

never.alone · 03-12-2007, 12:33 AM

i love them too!
my name is everywhere there are so many jessicas in my school!
i will be naming my kids random names like:

Lyric
Asa Bird
and for a girl- James

Eibhlin · 03-12-2007, 12:38 AM

ya, you know James really isnt used all that much anymore is it? My dad's name was James and my (much younger) brother's names is James, but it seems to have fallen out of fashion

Little Bird · 03-12-2007, 12:58 AM

My name is quite common here but the spelling is not. Kiera is a very rare spelling but I think I covered this before in this thread so I won't go into it.

But it is because of the unusual spelling of my name that makes me love it. I'm so glad my mother decided to be different. I was never one to follow the crowd and I've always liked to be different.

I have all sorts of potential names picked out for my future children. I've a big list. they are all unusual and rare and that's what I like. I just can't wait to put some of them to use.

lol

never.alone · 03-12-2007, 01:05 AM

Is your last name Bird? (sorry if youve answered this already)
because when i first joined here and found out your name i was so in love with it (obviously becasue I want to name one of my kids Asa Bird) but i didnt know if that was just what you called yourself on the internet or not

Eibhlin · 03-12-2007, 01:06 AM

I always liked the name Elric for a boy, but that stems from my love for the Elric of Melnibone series by Micheal Moorcock

007 · 03-12-2007, 01:44 AM

Hey, I like the name James. Very British, and provides a good outing for those who want to be called 'Jimbo"!

ANd yes, Jessica, it is very, VERY, VERY difficult keeping up with business aliases and such. I believe Nicholas Cage put it best to describe my situation, "It's not the second lives that'll kill you, it's the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth ones that will. on a given day I change identities three to four times, a Turkish diplomat, a British museum curator, a French gambler, and German economist, an Israeli student and an American engineer."

I walk into my office, pick up a briefcase, go over the information inside and scrutinize whatever files are available, and that's who I am for that day, or week, or month. It can change at the drop of a hat. That's why my languages are good. Sometimes, we have to swap out for who we actually are, and you have to be brought back to the world sometimes.

My given name is Christine Marie. I go by "Christie" to most everyone, and "Chris" by my immediate family only.

People have called me every variation of Christine cause they can't remember which one is right....so usually I respond if there's at least a 'chris' in the name somewhere!!!!

My mom says they had a hard time deciding between 'Rachel' and 'Christine' when I was born...I'm just glad they didn't give me my mother's middle name: GERTRUDE!!! It was also my great-grandmother's first name. I'll take 'Christine' over that ANY DAY! HAHA!! Marie is my grandmother's middle name.

Christine literally means "follower of Christ".........and that's true!

007 · 03-15-2007, 01:28 PM

I acutally like the idea of your name and how you use it, "Christine" that is.

I always said if I ever have a little girl, I wouldl name her either "Marie" or "Maria", that of which I'm not sure.

After all, "Vincent" isn't suchhh a great name. It's like the afornotion of "James". with "James" comes "Jimmy" or "Jim" or "Jimbo" or anythihng like that. Or, one of my old buddy's name who simply called himself "Jim-Jim" or "Slim Jim", you see, they rip it apart.

With Vincent, people try this "Vinni" or "Vinnie" stuff. I cna't stand it, for those who actually call me that (aobut twelve people). Or, what was worse, a few years ago, "Vin", like Vin Diesel. That got old really fast.

Oh well, could have been worse, right Christine? I could have been named a really ethinic name like "Fabrizio", where your only nickname of any kind is 'Fabio". I can picture the jokes right now.

LOL i bet your glad to have never got that name "Gertrude" so very old fashioned...a name of times gone by!

Well as many prolly already know...my name is Marc...Marc with a C. That all stems from my Mother who is half Italian, as my Grandfather Rizzi (R.I.P) was a full blooded Italian, which makes me 1/4 Italian i beleive...which is nice!

Strange thing is though, i was searching once for the meaning of my name...and all i got was; "The real name meaning for - Marc

Marc = Gay, but really nice to girls"

lol i'm NOT gay,

*******s...but i do luuuuurve Girls...lovely Girls!

007 · 03-15-2007, 11:00 PM

Maybe they meant "Gay" as in "Gaiety", meaning a jolly or happy person, not so much as a homosexual. You were probably reading an old edition of a name book, I'd imagine.

Just putting it in context, it already depicted your connection to females, thus I do think that it wouldl estrainge you by meaning a homosexual, I think it leant more towards happy, energetic, 'a jolly fella'.

Just my opinion, after all, I've read enough dated literature to keep libraries stocking books on their shelves, and not computers. (Yes, I'm a bit old school, loved the classics, when I have time.)

Or as Bond, James Bond would say, "I am familiar with the classics, Le Fanu, Bram Stoker, Ambrose Bierce, but those are the particulars I read. I find knowing too many book works to be suspect of evil intent." (collaboration of Bond novel's idea from Sir Ian Fleming.)

007 · 03-15-2007, 11:01 PM

Hey, my grandfather's name is Lloyd, and I've always wanted to name (should I ever have one) my son, Lloyd. Anyone know the meaning, I think it's old school, but a good name. Any takers on that old school idea?
