I have a unusual first name... it was a source of dread and embarrassment in grade school because it was similar to a local restaurants name I was made fun of till High School.. Then girls discovered they liked the “unusualness” of it and I took full advantage of that
![]() Now it gets miss pronounced or mistaken for another name... I have only met one other person with my first name and unfortunately he has passed away... There are times I wish I was named Tom or Bob or something simple... |

People are always trying to shorten my name. I hate that...

Did Chad Everett's wife save your mom's life, or was she just a really big fan?

Kinda depends on who they are. If I expect to have some kind of at least passing relationship of any sort, it’s the common shortened version of my name. If I don’t know them or expect to really get to know them better, it’s my formal name.
In print, it’s always my full first name. |

I always introduce myself with my first name. My family and wife, commonly use a couple nicknames I have based on my middle name. I really have no preference.

Middle name usage is much less common than I expected. For some reason, I thought that more than 5 percent of people would go by their middle name.

Every time I see this thread, I read it as "tell me about your first time", which would probably be a much more interesting poll...

I was named after Frankie Carbone, the guy who was frozen in Goodfellas.
