[Turner]

@Turner. So you initials must be either BE or CS, unless it is CH?

Nope .

 

[leoman]

my real name is Maddox Maguire

 

[Rossiya]

Also my friend knew someone whose name was Troy Richard Oscar Young. (his initials spelled his first name.)

wow, i wonder if that was intentional of his parents to do that.

 

[RameNoodle]

My real name is Alexander, thanks to my great-grandfather.


Edit: I go by Alex, however. Not Al.

 

[classical_hero]

Nope .

So then it could be CG, SD, MS, ID.

My full name is Martti Taneli Palmén (The é is officially in there, not something that I added), although I'm always been called Taneli (I never liked the name Martti). Martti is the Finnish form of Marty (sp?), and Taneli is the Finnish form of Daniel.

Palmén (Meaning Palm tree in German) on the otherhand is not Finnish at all, the name comes (To the best of our family research) from Joachim Kempe who moved to Turku from Germany in the late 18th century, to become a carpenter in the castle of Turku (Turun Linna). The Swedish army gave him the lastname Palmén to replace the name Kempe.

I still dread at the thought that my grandmother wanted me named as Joachim.

another story of changing names to fit the country of residence- but not american.

 

[Margim]

I'm getting . . . Zachariah Winchester?

That's an awesome name.

X-post with c_h.

Eerm... nope. But that would be an awesome alias for me to use in the future

Actually, what's strange, about the switching of the name Kempe to Palmén, is that Palmén is not Swedish. If anything, one would expect that Joachim would have been given a Swedish name not another German one.

 

[Turner]

Joachim would have been cool! "Joachim - I shall avenge you!"

 

[The Last Conformist]

My names mean something like "High Scion Man Son of God Has Shown Mercy".

oh. what can you say to that?

EDIT: i just realised that being a regular on this thread, i have never actually said what my real name is (i don't think, try and prove me wrong).

so, here it goes:

Christopher Rossi (no middle names )

 

[Reno]

Joachim would have been cool! "Joachim - I shall avenge you!"

Still, it would have been quite strange having a near completely Finnish kid be named completely German, and I wonder how many people would have mistaken me for an Immigrant.

 

[classical_hero]

@TLC, I still want to know what Terrorist you share your first name with.

 

[Mirc]

Maybe his name is Osama von Conformist?

 

[classical_hero]

No TLC's first name is Hakin. With the special thing that goes over the a.

The guy from Québec with the most posts, fond of his french heritage, is named Steve. Boring boring name. I work in a bilingual environment and I always find it interesting to hear the very subtle differences between the french and english pronounciation. Stéve in french and Steeve in english.

My last name will remain private. There's a college in the Montreal area, a major Montreal street and a metro station named after one of my relatives. Not to hard to find out for locals I guess, but they don't scare me.

Spoiler: De maisonneuve.

So now I can invade your private life and order stuff on Ebay on your account

Anthony...only share my name with one person who has posted in this thread. Odd, Anthony is supposed to be more common I thought.

If you call me by my middle name I get annoyed, but if you call me Tony I punch you
