Starts with a J.

Hey, don't look at me, man. I have one of the oddest names in the history of mankind.
...

Well, at least to me. >.>
It sounds like some kind of bizarre pharmaceutical product.

Joaquim?

Viagra? :huh:

Jorge. End of story. That's my grandpa's name.

Eh, I like normal names like Alexander (Alex), Justin, and Vance. Giving my kid some wierd name like Dehvon or Tanique or something would feel funny.



I know a guy named Boye Ladd. He's actually pretty cool.

Dude you wanna score some Metro?

No, see, if my parents had named me Viagra I would be forced to kill them.
Slowly.

Also they did not actually name me after a pharmaceutical product. It just sounds like it should be one.

I feel unique with my full name now :celebration: , I'm (according to some website) the only person with my full name in the US, and only one of a few thousand that have my first name. Though I do share it with a stupid character from a stupid show :yuck: .

I never saw a problem with people with common names, that just means you get to give them a nick name :twirl: . Though I could see why it might be a problem when you have a whole class with the same(ish) name. At least they have a normal name, and not something silly like "Four" (or "4", if you want to be true to their parents wishes) or something similar.

I don't really plan to have kids, so I'll hopefully never have to go through naming one, but I've always been fond of Aurora as a girls name.

lol, what is ur full name?

Ends with an n...

Juan?

John?

See, my situation is a bit like yours. My full name is made up of three first names--three normal names (with my mom's Hispanic last name just randomly chucked in at the end along with my dad's Welsh last name). I've checked and, as far as I know, there are no others with my same full name. And since my first and last name is more common in the reverse, people tend to call me that way instead, which infuriates me because I'm not even of that gender and it should be obvious.

My first name itself is normal, but somewhat uncommon. I've only met/seen fewer than ten people with my first name, and that includes actresses and such. People seem to love it a lot; I personally believe it's an old lady name (probably because of all the Golden Girl references...), but I was given the English version of my mom's Spanish name, so I see the heritage value in that...

But yeah, whenever I meet someone with my name, it's kinda strange. I even felt kinda weird having the same name as a Doctor Who companion.

exactly...i was gonna say it, but i think im on thin ice..or snow...

I have two overly prevalent/common names (at least, they were when I was born), and one that is slightly less common. My last name isn't too common either (at least where I live).

I find it odd , my first name was taken from a rock star's last name. Then I write my name in short on papers but I never refer myself as my full name or the shorten version of it . Rarely anyone calls me but any version of my first name. Then again saying "Fish!" is so much easier for people to remember sometimes , so when some kid from school meets me I just tell them to call me "Fish". Seriously if someone came up behind me and kept saying my first name I would think they are talking to someone else.
Too add on my two middle names are normally first names.

i was given an asian middle name, but i'm from germany, hows that for originality, ive never been to the orient.

I tink my name is fine, common but not too common. James isnt too common...is it ?

Not really I only know one kid with the name of that , that isn't you. Your in luck I guess.

My brother, cousin, second uncle, and grandfather were all named James.

My middle name is realla long and it's asian

Duncan Keahi Ke Ka Oko Ah

Damn, well could be worse, too many Liams around here.

That depends, do you prefer actually being called James or do you like Jim/Jimmy/whatever? I think it's at least a little uncommon for people to want to be called James instead of a nickname.

...How do I say that.


Yeah I have a nickname, just feels better than saying my first name, but I couldnt stand being called Jim, just dosent feel right.
