What's your real name?

#141

Well, I am big and hairy

_>

O NO YOU DIDN’T!!

#142

I don’t have any middle names.

#143

My first name is Maarten, which means “satisfied warrior” (“of Mars”)
My middle name is Brecht, which means “shining/clear”

Add to that my family name (“the Black”), and you get a Shiny, Satisfied Black Warrior.

Yay :<

#144

?

#145

That’s exactly what came into my mind.

#146

Alexander Orr

or Alex

#147

Alejandro or you can call me Alex

Do you live in BC?

#148

BC?

Most people I know don’t have any middle names at all. My parents both have only one. In yo face.

#149

Never mind the Ezra I know doesn’t happen to post in the BM forums, false alarm.

#150

Well, I’m from Belgium so unless it’s an internet buddy it couldn’t have been me anyway :stuck_out_tongue:

#151

never heard that one before

#152

Well, you have to be baptised I suppose, although I’m not religious I’m sure most people here have been baptised.

At least if you’ve been born before circa 2000, nowadays people who aren’t religious probably won’t get their children baptised, but a decade ago it was done almost automatically even if your parents weren’t religious. It was just tradition.

Personally I don’t know anyone in my family or friends who isn’t baptised, even though none are religious.

#153

Aw damn it, now I’m going to pronounce your name all Welsh! :frowning:

#154

Well, I’m just saying that if you’ve been baptised you automatically get two middle names (one for each godparent), and since lots of people got baptised they should also have two middle names.

Obviously different cultures have different name-giving customs, like in certain parts of Spain where your middle name is based on your place of birth (I think).

Also, considering Nosehole’s previous avatar, I’m glad he didn’t name himself Arsehole :expressionless:

#155

I know almost no one who has been baptised, as far as I know. Maybe my grandmother on my father’s side, as she was raised as a Catholic.

#156

Hey, I remember that game. Or at least the 3D version. Tis fun game.

#157

Well I’m baptised and I don’t have any middle name.

#158

I guess you didn’t go for the deluxe version of baptizing then :stuck_out_tongue:

#159

I have a last name for a first name (Russell), so I go by Russ.

I worked with a guy whose first name was Rick (not Richard) and his middle name was “L” - it didn’t stand for anything, it was just a letter. He even showed me his ID’s to prove it.

#160

I’ve been baptized, and only have one middle name: William.

Also, I have no godparents.
