What's your first name?

[Pryderi]

Mine's "Paul"

[Bertha Venation]

1. Bertha.

Okay, not really. It's Kim. But I use Bertha for restaurant reservations, wait lists, carry out orders, at the stylist....

[guitar man]

2. Les nt

[old mark]

30. Mr. Poulfus, is that YOU?...nt

[guitar man]

37. lol, not me

But I've had a few of his guitars over the years. They must have been his, they all had his name on them :P

[old mark]

73. Yeah, I have 2 like that right now - I really liked Les, and I'm sorry he's gone....nt

[Pool Hall Ace]

76. In a previous thread, I had already ventured a guess

that he was either Les Paul or Les Dudek. Alas, he is not! :)

Edited to add: At least he is denying being either one of them.

[guitar man]

78. I only wish

I was Les Dudek. To be on the Brothers and Sisters album with The Allman Brothers Band...plus all the other great stuff he's done over the years, Boz Scaggs, Steve Miller. Stuff I could only dream of :crazy:

[MiddleFingerMom]

3. There was this one time... at Band Camp...

.
.
.
...OK, OK... it was in a bar about an hour before closing and I met 4 or 5 people
who were really interesting and fun and as inebriated as I.
.
.
.
At closing time, we all said that we hoped to run into each other again and we
exchanged names. I KNEW that, in my state of mind, I wasn't going to be able
to remember a single one of their names -- nor would they remember mine. So
when it was MY turn to introduce myself I said, "My name's Burp."
.
.
.
"Burt?", several of them asked simultaneously.
.
.
.
"No... Burp. My parents had a weird sense of humor." (DEEP sigh) "My poor
sister Fart."
.
.
.
.
.
Most of us came in the following weekend and, sure enough... NOBODY
remembered anybody else's name.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Except EVERYBODY knew Burp.
.
.
.
Some of them never DID know my real name.

15. Peggy.

[pinboy3niner]

[Heidi]

17. You wouldn't believe it if I told you. DORKIEST name ever for a 47-year-old woman.

Really.

[pinboy3niner]

19. Snooki?

Candy? Brandi? Britney? :)

[Heidi]

22. Close.

And no, it's not Peggy. That's a perfectly dignified name for a woman and it beats th hell out of the hippie- dippy name my biological mother gave me. My middle name is Maria, though, so that's kinda my equivalent to a carbon offset.

[MiddleFingerMom]

86. I seriously LIKE hippie-dippy names. The people I've met who've had them have been INVARIABLY sweet.

YOU have a nice name. I wish I had a more "adult" first name. :hi:

Merry Christmas to you, sweets, and that typewriter-appreciatin' mutual friend of ours! :hug:

:loveya:

[Rhiannon12866]

71. Hello, my friend! It's great to see you...

I've missed you like crazy in my current vocation here. :(

When I was a kid, I hated my name. It wasn't all that popular and nobody ever got it right. But a few years later, it really took off, so when I heard my name called, I didn't pay any attention because I knew it was addressed to somebody under five, LOL. :D

And I really do love your name. It's unusual without being strange and is also very melodious... ;)

Thanks for the good wishes and I wish you the same... Please pass them on to my other good friend, and tell him he's missed, as well. And I'll pass on your message to our mutual friend who has the least uncommon name, ever, LOL. :D :hi: :loveya: :pals: :hug:

[Monique1]

47. I have many names

which one do you want? I had a name at one time Sr. Mary Alma

[Monique1]

48. My birth name is Nancy

Everyone calls me Nancy but my sister calls me Nan. No one calls me Sr. Mary Alma anymore - cause I am no longer a nun. :P

[Odin2005]

51. You were a nun? Interesting!

[pink-o]

94. My birth name was Nancy as well. But once I grew to 6'1"

it had to go! Nancys are small and lively (Pelosi) and I was gigantic, self-conscious and a major klutz. So I decided to go for something artistic, had a friend named Anjelica, and I stole her name when she moved away. About 25 years ago, I was in Jamaica, and the Rastas started calling me Anja, cuz it rhymed with their favorite herb. So Anja it stayed: it's on my passport, my SS card, my DL, et al.

I actually forgot I was once Nancy--until I read your post and realized I better put in the first name I was born with!

[pinboy3niner]

49. I am Spartacus!

Just kidding. I'm still going with the new DU version: I AM PEGGY! :)

[Chan790]

66. Legally or informally?

Legally, it's Kenneth. Kenneth is a wonderful name for people who are assholes, it worked incredibly-well for my father and grandfather, possibly the two greatest wastes of humanity to ever live.

Informally, it's Jamie. You can admit it, you've never met a Jamie who was an asshole...I'm totally the first! :P

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

67. California

[velvet]

68. Greetings Paul et al

Mine's Maeve.

Am named after a character in a novel. My parents told me the name of the book and many years after they had died I came across it in a second-hand bookshop. No masterpiece, but readable. Maeve wasn't the main character (sigh) but she made a good fist of being a secondary one and I liked her. She would have been named after the legendary Irish queen Méabh, about whom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medb">Wikipedia has a lot to say.
