If you could have chosen your first name, what would it be?

[caramelsub]

I have honestly thought this through. These are names I like and thought about naming my future son if I ever were to have one

 

Drexel or “Drex” for short.

Julian

Remington or “Remy” for short.

Lexington or “Lex” for short.

[caramelsub]

I like the last names as first names trend lol.

[seattlebottom]

After learning what names were in the running (Alfredo, German, Eugenio and Virgillio) I'm ok with the name I was given.

Something exotic like Fukmee comes to mind.

I assume you know that was a joke... gay marriage wasn't legal back then.

 

Plus, I never actually met him.

[+ Oliver]

I rather like my name (it's not Oliver:)). My mother wanted to name me "Dean", but at the time there was a pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals whose name was Dizzy Dean and she didn't want me called "Dizzy". Thus my name. My brother, my sister and I all had names for which there is no nickname.

By a strange coincidence, my mother-in-law and my aunt had the same uncommon Latin name (it was down in the 800s among names given to babies in their birth years). My aunt always wanted to be called by a more common nickname, but my mother-in-law was always called by her full multi-syllabic name, which meant that people usually asked her how she got that name.

 

My common nickname is simply a shortening of my full name, and one can usually tell how well someone knows me by which one they use, but the difference is not what you might expect: my family and close friends use my full name, while more casual acquaintances usually use the nickname.

@sam.hexum's avatar is well known to those of us of a certain age who used to jerk off to images of movie actors.

Kevin. If I get a male dog, I think I might call him Kevin.

My older brother was named after my grandfather & my father. I came along 18 months later & was given two of the most common English names, cementing in my mind that I was an unplanned 'accident.'

Being rather a Francophone (see the Avatar) I'd choose Jean-Pierre or Jean-Luc.

I used to have a friend whose parents both had the same middle name (Lee).

One more story about names, and then I’ll shut up. One of my clients had a child whose name was “L-a” Seriously.

So when I met her, I fumbled a bit and finally asked how to pronounce it. Her reply?

 

”Lahdashah” Yep. What I mistook for a hyphen she said was a “dash”. Ergo, L-dash-a. Child abuse, plain and simple. You can’t make up this shit.

My name was a compromise from an argument over which Maverick to name me after, Brett or Bart.

 

Personally I have always liked:

Ryan or

Scott or

Connor
