What is your first name!

[Gerald]

Almost everyone here have a "nickname",but your real existing,first name,will you share this for us?


Note:If you dare...or think this is unjustifiable!

[Weiss Pinguin]

Brian. I always thought it was very boring, but apparently one can do some interesting things with it... My favorite has to be 'branflakes' (but only because of who came up with it ;))

[Platapus]

My first name is Thomas. It is supposed to mean "The Doubter" but I don't think that is true.

[onelifecrisis]

My first name is Guy. It has two origins; the latin origin means "wood", and the hebrew origin means "valley".

[krashkart]

Matthew, but I much prefer Matt.



Anyone ever look their own name up on urbandictionary.com? Here's mine:

An extremely good looking male, otherwise known as a Sexy Beast (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Sexy%20Beast). Throughout history, Matts have been known to be an exceptional specimen of the human male. The 'Matt' are often popular due to their social adeptness.

Girl 1: Hey, did you see that new movie 300? It was kick ass.
Girl 2: Of course! It was like a movie of 300 half-naked Matts!

[antikristuseke]

Mats, but people usually call me Kondor, because my nose supposedly looks like the beak of a vulture.

[TLAM Strike]

Says 'William' on my ID but I go by Bill, my nickname among my friends is Billiard or Billiam. One of my bosses likes to call me 'William H.' after actor William H. Macy.

Oh, the official at my wedding did!:nope:

[kranz]

Bartosz, but my friends call me a-sshole :88)

[Sailor Steve]

Cool!

My family name was made into English more than a thousand years ago. The original name was Brodfeldt, and we were part of the Saxon invasion of England in the 400s. So we not only have been on the "wrong" side of most of the wars since (we also fought for the Normans), but we might even have fought against King Arthur!
:rotfl2:

[edit] It ended up a couple of posts lower, and I didn't notice at the time. This was in response to Betanov in post #20.

That's quite interesting though. I know very little of my family lineage. My great-grandparents immigrated from Prague and settled here to raise barley and corn. I wonder if any of my ancestors defenestrated (or were defenestrated!! :o) anybody? :hmmm:

Actually I always used my real name until I came here, and the only reason I chose a screen name was because everybody seemed to be using them at the time, and I wanted to fit in with something cute as well.

Our Fearless Leader was even going by 'Onkel Neal' back then.

Lucky you. I have a good friend named Peter Vernon. He is distantly related to the Admiral Vernon whom Lawrence Washington, George's half-brother, served under and named the estate Mount Vernon for.

Peter thought that being related to a famous admiral was cool, so he named his first son after another famous admiral. The boy (who is now fully grown and has two children of his own) usually goes by Iso.

James

Origin: English, Hebrew
Meaning:Supplanter

Used in:English and Hebrew speaking countries

There are many saints called James, the most famous being Saint James the Elder, one of the Apostles. As a common name it has many namesakes, such as the author James Joyce or the fictional British spy James Bond ("007"). The name has been used for royalty: James has been the name of two Kings of England (James I ruled from 1603-1625, and James II from 1685-1688). In the UK James was the sixth most popular name for boys in 2006; it ranked 16th in the US in the same year.

James is the title character in Roald Dahl's "James and the Giant Peach".

James has been the name of six US Presidents: James Madison, James Monroe, James K. Polk, James Buchanan, James Garfield, and James "Jimmy" Carter. It is the most popular first name for US Presidents.

Owen here :salute:

means "young fighter" in Gaelic or something.

I like that I have a Hefting move. though.

Owen
Etymology: first occurance of move in Wagrain Hefting Contest, April 2009, named after performer of move (Owen Hicks).
In Hefting (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Hefting), an Owen occurs when two or more Hefters attempt to Heft (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Heft) another simultaneously when the Heftee (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Heftee) is out of the bed Hefting another and, thus, the Hefters attempting to Heft them end up fighting each other instead. Due to this, the Owen (the absent Heftee) has essentially hefted three or more people without laying a finger on more than one.


I even have my own activity

Owening
Stronger than an 'own'. Stronger even than a 'pwn'. Owening is the ultimate domination of any activity or just life in general. Including but not limited to: Video games, smuggling peas, tonsil hockey with the ladies, Destroying random ships with the swing of your sword, growing some mean facial hair or just jamming out on the raddest sparkle ridden green guitar.

I swear I'm being followed...

Let's talk about baggage. We all have baggage, fear of abandonment, fear of failure, fear of falling, whatever. But can you overcome your fears and unpack your baggage?
I run into this all the time on Keen. Someone is so afraid of being hurt, they run from emotionally investing themselves in a relationship. It seems such a trite thing to say, "Oh, they're afraid of being hurt."

Who isn't afraid of being hurt? Have you ever heard someone say, "Oh, please, poke my eye out." "Wow, I can't wait to have my heart ripped out and stomped on!" Or, in my case last week when I had a momentary delusion of indestructability and forgot the oven mitts, "Ooooh, that steam feels soooooo good. Please direct it at my dominant hand!"

EVERYBODY is afraid of being hurt. But some are so afraid that they won't even try. They just assume that it won't work, they'll just be hurt again, and then set out to make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. In other words, "This isn't going to work, so why don't I just muck it up right now."

Think of the joy they'll have standing back, and holding up their latest failure and declaring, "See, I was right!" These people are real party-goers -- to pity parties. Yes, they sit around at their parties dancing and singing, "Nobody likes me, everybody hates me" -- let's call them the worm eaters.

Worm eaters have a difficult time attaining anything in the relationship area because, well, they're too busy eating worms. I don't know about you, but I'm not about to kiss some dude that has a mouth full o' grubs.

And yet many people always seem to seek out the worm eaters, again and again, picking the unattainable, the ones who are unable to get out of their own way, or the ones who cannot meet them in the middle, so to speak.

Some people just fit into my "it's hell, but it's my hell" scenario. Say every relationship you've ever had has basically, well, stunk to high heaven. You want a good relationship, you dream of a good relationship, but when Dream Dude shows up and treats you in the manner that you deserve -- a Goddess -- you think, "What does he want? What is wrong with this dude?" Warning bells go off when he commits the unpardonable sin of -- OH MY GOD -- sending flowers!

So you run as fast as you can back to the arms of -- tada -- the Limburger cheese of relationships with Nightmare Dude. Why? You know what to expect. In a perverse way, it's comfortable and what you feel you deserve.

Unpacking baggage is a daunting task. First of all, you have to recognize that everywhere you go, you're trudging around carrying a very unchic Samsonite behind you, and then WANT to unpack. Some people love their old dirty undies and are loathe to give them up.

Wouldn't you rather trade in that heavy bag for a nice healthy relationship? Why not take a dewormer and unpack. We might even be able to trade in some of those old undies for something nice and lacey, and replace the Samsonite with something cute and hunky...... :hmmm:

Akbar

First name origin & meaning:
Arabic: Powerful

Last name origin & meaning:
Muslim (mainly Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh; also Iran): from a personal name based on Arabic akbar ‘greater’, ‘greatest’, an elative adjective from kabīr ‘great’. Allahu Akbār (‘Allah is the Greatest’) is a slogan of Muslims throughout the world. The Mughal emperor known in English as Akbar the Great (Jalāl ud-Dīn Akbar; 1542–1605) extended his rule from a base in Panjab to cover most of the Indian subcontinent by the time of his death. His rule was notable for the integration of Hindus and Muslims in positions of power.

Isn't/wasn't she married to Gene Wilder?:hmmm:

Wilder married Gilda Radner, who died of ovarian cancer in the late '80s. Kahn succumbed to the same disease, what, about 10 years ago? She had gotten married to a longtime boyfriend (not Wilder) just prior to her death.

There were rumors that Wilder and Kahn had an affair during the making of Young Frankenstein, but he was married to someone else at the time. He and Kahn were never married to each other AFAIK.

As I walk through the world and look around;
I'm always amazed at what I've found;
When it comes to life there's a lot that I don't know.
It's learning new things, and seeing new faces;
That keeps me going and brings back the traces;
Of life I've lived and all that's helped me grow.

I want to thank you, Jim, for posting that link;
It's a Danish version, and it made me think;
There's a lot of places that I've never been.
I'm a Johnny Cash fan from way way back;
And there's so many versions I can't keep track;
But that's the best 'Boy Named Sue' I've ever seen.
