I don't really mind sharing my first name, but I get a little uneasy sharing my last name sometimes.

My real name is ... Priscilla. :shock:

Ooh, Greetings, Kimberly and Priscilla. It's like we've never even met before! jk

As for me, I really don't like my name, thus the infinite number of sobriquets I go by, lol. But, I'll share it anyway.
My name be Rodney (though I also go by Nocturne) ^_^

manekineko · « **Reply #3 on:** June 22, 2007, 09:55:25 am »

Hello Kimberly, Priscilla, and Rodney! :lol:

My real name is Katherine, but everyone calls me Kat. So don't call me Katherine. I hate that name.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #4 on:** June 22, 2007, 09:56:13 am »

heh, well, greetings to you too, Kat. I'll be sure to smackdown anyone I hear call you Kath.....the other name. ^_0

My name is Jonathan. You can call me Jon. Nice to meet you.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #7 on:** June 22, 2007, 12:22:33 pm »

Yo, Jon. Out of everyone here, you're the only one I've actually met in person, heh. Nice to (unofficially) meet you.

Hi Kimberly, Priscilla, Rodney, Kat, and Jon!

(whew, this is going to get harder and harder to continue, 100 posts down the line)

My real name is Sheldon. I usually go by Sheldon, but people have created a slew of nicknames to fit occasions.

Sheldo Bigeldo (Hobbit name)
Sheldonious Maximus (Gladiator name)
Sheldini (Magician name)
Shane (dont ask)
etc... etc....

Feel free to make your own!

superjaz is a nickname i got from my best friend eric who's own nick name was batman, sadly he died, he was only 20 years old (he was born with diabtis) using superjaz is like saying its okay to have friends even tho my best friend is gone

pieisexactlythree · « **Reply #11 on:** June 22, 2007, 04:37:07 pm »

Wow, Sheldon sounds like the name of a 60'ish year old executive type guy who hangs out at the clubhouse at Pumpkin Ridge counrty club sipping martinis.

Greyman · « **Reply #12 on:** June 22, 2007, 04:44:02 pm »

Hahaha, no no. Im in my early 20s. Its a very strange name though!
I barely hear it used on anything! Ive only met one other Sheldon in my entire life, and that was just strange O_O.

It felt like I was talking to myself. :shock:

TheInsanePuck · « **Reply #13 on:** June 22, 2007, 05:29:13 pm »

Jared here.... also known as JD, J-rod , Puck, Bubba, Jay, Buddha, Bouncer, and many more that I am not going to go into

I mainly just go by Jared or JD or MacDuff(MacDuff is my scottish clan that I competed under when I did highland games)

JD is a mix of my first and last name
Buddha is because I look like Buddha when I shave my head and beard
Bubba cause I do not know.... and the rest are pretty self explainitory and I have gone over my nickname of puck

Hi Kimberly, Priscilla, Rodney, Kat, Jon, Sheldon, Jaz, and Jared.
The name's Chris.

(Wow I can't believe how long it's been since I've been on here :shock: )

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #15 on:** June 22, 2007, 06:27:44 pm »

manekineko · « **Reply #16 on:** June 22, 2007, 10:59:39 pm »

It is very odd to see all of your real names...

Especially Patrick because you will always be Mustash to me. :lol:

Yeah it is weird. It was werid in the second post when comeone actually adressed it to Kimberly

Greyman · « **Reply #18 on:** June 23, 2007, 03:37:06 am »

Yeah, hearing someone talking about what my name makes them think of is really kinda funny.

Half the time I'm weirded out that my name IS Sheldon.

Prince Nori · « **Reply #19 on:** June 26, 2007, 09:30:39 am »

this is really interesting finding out everyones' real names....o__o it's weird! in a cooltastic way

anehways! My real name is Norita

I usually just go by Nori for short. and my family usually call me Fifi because my french name is Josefine and I still have no idea where that name came from but I've had it since I was a baby o____o

RoamingGnome · « **Reply #20 on:** June 26, 2007, 09:57:30 am »

My name is Jason and I'm a animeholic. :shock:

helloooooooooooooooooooooo Jason...
and Kimberly, Nori/Fifi, Priscilla, Rodney, Kat, Jon, Sheldon, Jaz, Jared, Chris, Patrick and...um ... did I miss anyone? :shock:
Roight.

Runa is my SCA name, which I've used for ~eeeeep~ 21 years, and my real name is Andrea, but my family/friends call me Andie, so I'll answer to any of those iterations.

It is always interesting to find out how people wind up with their nicknames... I know a few guys who go by their middle names because they don't like their first names... and I've heard of some people choosing to legally change their names first chance they get.

makichan · « **Reply #22 on:** June 26, 2007, 07:37:29 pm »

My name is Marquise which sounds like Markee but whatever... it's european haha. I used to want a normal name like the others but later grew to love my odd name. BTW I got the nickname maki because nobody likes to spell my real name... not even my closest friends at times lol go figure xD

Hello Kimberly, Priscilla, Rodney, Kat, Jon, Chris, Sheldon, Jaz, Jared, Chris, Patrick, Nori, Jason, Andie, and Marquise.

My name is Tom!
It's short for Thomas.

It's true, some people are just named the short version on their birth certificate. Like Bill or Joe, not me!

I knew a guy whose name was Billiam, his parents started on on the other end! It's like being names Jackathan.

This feels so much like Romper Room (well for those old enough to remember that kids program :-p )

*Pulls out the magic magnifying glass*

I can see Tom and Kimberly and Priscilla and Rodney and Kat and Jon and Chris and .....

I don't like my name its way too common, John Smith

manekineko · « **Reply #29 on:** June 27, 2007, 02:07:10 pm »

Haha.

We're allgoing to become desensitized to reality and end up calling everyone by their forum names at the con.

pieisexactlythree · « **Reply #30 on:** June 27, 2007, 05:02:23 pm »

Speaking of names, why did you choose to spell Moustache that way? Is it an in-joke?

Killer_Tofu · « **Reply #31 on:** June 28, 2007, 04:05:26 pm »

Hello Kimberly, Priscilla, Rodney, Kat, Jon, Chris, Sheldon, Jaz, Jared, Chris, Patrick, Nori, Jason, Andie, Marquise, Yom and John,

My name is Sarah (another really common name)

my con/casplay/badge name is KiTo-chan (a contraction of Ki-ller To-fu) but I usualy just get called Tofu or the name of whichever character I am that day.

Any of those are fine with me

jaybug · « **Reply #32 on:** June 28, 2007, 06:38:15 pm »

My name is Jay. I got jay bug from my mother, as a term of endearment when I was a wee lad. It's apparently a mid-west thing.

I was just thinking that Tom wants to be called Mr. Peepers. Tom Peepers, aka Peeping Tom!

Patrick could open a restaurant in Oregon City and call it Patrick's Mustach. We used to have a Harry's Moustache, but they closed down and only sell soups in grocery stores nowadays.

Sheldon is a high school here in Eugene.

Marquise is an elongated cut of diamond. Or the equivalent of a female count in England. They don't have counts in England, they have Marquis's and Marquises.
