mark rules!

but if I had to have another name I'd wish to be called doc

― s1utsky (slutsky), Saturday, 19 July 2003 17:39 (twenty-three years ago)

There are people who call me Doc! I'll let you borrow it, S1utsky.

I changed my name from William to Bill cause no one's ever called me William, and the Bill I was named for was a Willis. So I'm all set now.

(Tep's fine, too.)

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 19 July 2003 17:42 (twenty-three years ago)

Her Majesty.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Saturday, 19 July 2003 17:43 (twenty-three years ago)

thanks tep!

― ol' doc s1utsky (slutsky), Saturday, 19 July 2003 17:44 (twenty-three years ago)

I have too many names already! Jim, Jel, Jamie, Bee...actually hardly anyone calls me James.

But, I wouldn't being called Positron.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 19 July 2003 19:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't have a middle name so when I was young I used to make them up for myself. The only one I remember was Sharon, which I don't like at all now. So it's all just as well. I really like my given name.

Supreme Lord of the Universe

That's MY name, motherfucker.

Merlin is a cool name.I never met anyone who's real name was Merlin.

Mark's the boring rockist gospel. Wasn't he a lawyer?

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 19 July 2003 20:22 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought he was the fighter!

― James Blount (James Blount), Saturday, 19 July 2003 20:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Well anyway, he was Roman. Luke's the lover.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 19 July 2003 20:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Peter's secretary; Matthew was the tax collector, John the fisherman, Luke the physician.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 19 July 2003 20:29 (twenty-three years ago)

No one really knows who John was but I think fisherman is unlikely.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 19 July 2003 20:33 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, in Catholic tradition, I mean. The real guys were probably different guys altogether.

"We don't pay you to write gospels on company time, young man. Oh my, that's a fetching blouse you've got on today."

(Peter to Mark, Apocrypha 3:11)

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 19 July 2003 20:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Having researched the matter, I think I may have made up the Roman thing.

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 19 July 2003 20:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I have met a Merlin. He was a bit of a git, if I remember right.

I used to think I'd like a different surname so people'd stop asking where mine comes from and I'd stop having to tell them I don't know... but now I'm pretty cool with it.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Saturday, 19 July 2003 21:00 (twenty-three years ago)

was he wearing a wizard's hat?

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Saturday, 19 July 2003 21:01 (twenty-three years ago)

No. He was short, thin, blonde and looked very much like a future Conservative MP.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Saturday, 19 July 2003 21:02 (twenty-three years ago)

William, was your grandfather called William Eugene Swygart?

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 19 July 2003 21:12 (twenty-three years ago)

I have no idea of the middle name, but he was a William, as was his father, and mine too.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Saturday, 19 July 2003 21:35 (twenty-three years ago)

I always wanted to be called Catherine.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 20 July 2003 03:30 (twenty-three years ago)

i wish buick mackane was my real name.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 20 July 2003 03:34 (twenty-three years ago)

buick mackane is a right spiffy name if i do say so myself.

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 20 July 2003 05:49 (twenty-three years ago)

My posh friend wanted to be called 'Mercedes'. Then I saw this John Cleese movie with a 'Portia' in it but I thought it was 'Porsche'. I was like, I don't get it, these people are all posh but they call their kids such gauche names, yet they ARE posher than me, so obviously there is something going on I really really don't understand.

When I was six, I wanted to be called Chloe after our neighbour's cat.

― C J (C J), Sunday, 20 July 2003 06:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Merlin is a cool name.I never met anyone who's real name was Merlin.

My mate J and his brothers know/knew someone in Leeds who was called Merlin. Everyone thought it was a nickname but he apparently showed some people his birth certificate one day.

I always wanted to be called James when I was younger (like 10) but I'm kind of comfortable wit Nick now.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 20 July 2003 07:01 (twenty-three years ago)

I hereby wish to be called CASANOVA MASERATI.

(If the blink tag were still in usage, I would add that.)

was that after the girl in the "license to drive" movie?

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Sunday, 20 July 2003 20:04 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to be either "Boots" or "Bootsie".

― Mandee, Sunday, 20 July 2003 20:41 (twenty-three years ago)

I like the name Nicole, but I am a little tired of it because it is so common. I really can't think of a proper replacement name though.

― Larcole (Nicole), Sunday, 20 July 2003 20:43 (twenty-three years ago)

So it seems.

― N. (nickdastoor), Sunday, 20 July 2003 22:41 (twenty-three years ago)

I am kind of happy with Nellie cause it's sort of english and stuff, but I wish that the rapper Nelly would go away because I really don't have a smart comeback too 'why aren't you wearing a bandaid on your face?'
I was almost called Josephine and I like that too.

― Nellie (nellskies), Monday, 21 July 2003 00:30 (twenty-three years ago)

BTW Oberon was king of the fairies, so is that what you really want?

I hated the name Sarah when i was younger as there were loads of other girls with the same name. I am cool with it now, i think!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 21 July 2003 09:49 (twenty-three years ago)

i like my name but i wish i had a TOPGUN monicor

I would be code name THIEF (i thought that whilst brushing my teeth this morning - my wing man would be Joker and we would fly to the sounds of jimi hendrix and "all along the watch tower"

YEAH GET SOME..........10/4 thief.....Igot ya back joker.....whoa that was toooo close....ahem

― james (james), Monday, 21 July 2003 09:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I have met a Merlin and he was pretty much an asshat, as far as I could tell. Very disappointing.

I like my name although when I first found out it meant 'sheep' I decided to be Ebony instead. I also used to pretend my middle name was Hermione, and this was waaayyy before Harry Potter.

If I were a boy I'd like to be called Rahul like a friend of mine.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 21 July 2003 09:56 (twenty-three years ago)

I get called Missy sometimes (as does every girl I suspect), which I always thought was a pretty cool name.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 21 July 2003 09:57 (twenty-three years ago)

One of my friends that I was staying with in NYC is a Merlin, and lovely with it. He doesn't really act up to it any more that the standard black-clad metal/geek. Though there was that copy of Arthur with Alan Moore on the front lying around...

I'm shocked no-one wants to be called Max Power.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 21 July 2003 10:02 (twenty-three years ago)

When I was younger, I used to wish that I had a more dramatic or glamourous name, though I can't remember any of them. (Charlotte, I think may have been one of them, because I was so impressed with a girl named Charlotte who lived in a proper Gypsy caravan.) But Kate suits me so well, I can't imagine being called anything else.

(Bearing in mind that all this is rather moot, as my name has already been summarily changed to "Property Of Joe Banks".)

― kate (kate), Monday, 21 July 2003 12:17 (twenty-three years ago)

I changed my middle names once cos I couldn't deal with being taunted for it. Odd really, cos now I think Dario is a fairly cool name. I'm not telling you the other one.

― Bruce Urquhart (Bruce Urquhart), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 14:15 (twenty-three years ago)

I always wanted some kind of interesting name...I was always jealous of my friends Woganee, Tamini, and Kianda in high school. In the classes I teach there are always a large number of great names. My favourites from the last quarter: Arghavan, Zuoya, Marie-Pierette, Yujie, Cassand, Sunaina, Jeya, Deorani, Zhida, and Indu. Personally, I don't want a new name, but I just wish mine wasn't so damned Scottish-like. The Highlander jokes get tired.

― cybele (cybele), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 14:38 (twenty-three years ago)

I tried out lots of different names because of the Too Many Sarahs problem. Plus, I was tired of being referred to as "Little Sarah" (there was an older Sarah on my street). The longest-lasting name was Angie. Blech!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 20:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Julio that's nice! But goodness—"Julio DeSouza"!! Count your blessings!

Tessa. I'll probably call my kid this if I have one, a girl, but maybe I'll use the name Edith first. I like Eli for my boy name, it's close to my real name.

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 02:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, I think I lied a little in my first post on this thread. I tend to use my middle name for things I know will result in junk, because then the mail comes and a) I know it's junk and b) I can go "well, that's a very nice name, I wonder who that is? Why, IT'S ME!"
