Re: Realnames? Where did yours come from?
Fucking parents again.
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

Re: Realnames? Where did yours come from?
Nobody has ever called me by my official name.
It was like ma folks realised they had made a mistake on the way back from the hospital.
I only found out my real first name when I was about 9 or 10.

Re: Realnames? Where did yours come from?
Got my name from my Dad's; I'm a "Jr.".
His first name was given to him as his father's brother died when he was young and it was a sort of tribute.
Middle comes from another tribute to the other brother who was shot down in WW2 over the ocean and never found.
No idea about my last name. :idunno:

Re: Realnames? Where did yours come from?
Mine came from my dad being all down with mythology and stuff. Thanks Dad.

No rod.
I fear Ben really did think his name was 'Spaz' til a kindly priest took him under his wing and gave him a totally different alias altogether.

Re: Realnames? Where did yours come from?
I only thought my name was Spaz because I ran like this. :emo:

so...
Aphrodite / Venus - goddess of love, beauty and fertility
Hera / Juno - goddess of marriage
Athena / Minerva - goddess of art & war
Hestia - goddess of the hearth,
you seem to be a mix of the top three,
so im guessing your name is Afrojunonerva?

Crabgirl's name could be Pandora. Pandora let evil and misery out in a pristine world, and then kept hope for herself.

Aww. That's a lovely thing to say, thank you!
However, my dad was a lover of the myths and legends of the British Isles...I was lucky though, I could have been called Piskie Black-shuck or something.

Re: Realnames? Where did yours come from?
There's nothing wrong with being called Piskie Black-shuck :snooty:

While the story of Pandora is not a British folktale per se The Danes did invade the British Isles and they did leave a lot of their culture behind.:whistling

Typical response from a Pandora.
Mine is common or garden and there has been in the family for years (about three centuries at least). Thought I was the last as more imagination came into play but my niece has just gone and kept the chain going.
Edit: by naming her son obviousment.

Re: Realnames? Where did yours come from?
don't names sometimes describe the personality of a person?
really,
i knew a girl her name was habiba and that means "lovely or love able " in my language and she really is.
and another one of my buddies,his name was saleh which means good and he was very kind and sincere.
not to mention me,my name means "the forgiver" and i always forgive people.even barbie , i forgave him :(

That is such a depressing view, yet bitterly true.
Might as well nuke ourselves then.
They should put that quote on the walls of maternity wards.

Named for my Mother's Father. My older brother was named for my Father's Father.
I have no "middle names".
We don't fuck about where I come from.
Crabgirls :earl: name is le.

Re: Realnames? Where did yours come from?
my name is kat...not short for anything

Re: Realnames? Where did yours come from?
I have no middle names either. Middle names only serve one purpose - to get the pish ripped out of you at school.

Yeah but that's not part of my name. Not as far as I'm concerned anyways. I certainly wouldn't use it.

What's the point in it, then?
I'm not being facetious, I am uninformed about such matters and wouldn't mind knowing.
