We know a couple that have named their son Atticus. Can't really be shortened to anything else. Maybe Attic. I dread to think of his school years.

 

I know a guy who I met at the hospital I work in called Valotical Logan. If that’s not the baddest super Hero name ever, then I don’t know what is..

I'll always be the shortened version of mine due to my missus having a dickhead uncle with the same name as me. It's fine as it's how most people know me anyway.

Something like Trent would have been nice.

William - Yes.

 

Although it slightly annoys me under the breath when someone who I don't know, for example, says "Prince William?" or "Will.I.Am?"..

I also have a single syllable surname so I hate the whole combination. Boring. common, unimaginative.

One syllable, matched with a surname of one syllable. Just dull. The alternative was apparently Greg though so small mercies.

 

 

Same here.

Remember at school, the name column in the school register used to be taken up completely with other kids names. Mine barely made it half way.

Surprisingly, yes.

I'm a Paul and never really had a problem with it. At primary school, there were 5 of us Pauls around my age, so that could get a bit irritating. Otherwise, I'm content without getting excited about it. 

 

I reckon 99% of Pauls were born between 1950 and 1970. Don't think I've ever met a Paul more than 10 years younger than me....though Paul Konchesky qualifies.

 

If I'd been a girl, I was due to be named Katya - at a time when that would have been merely pretentious and not cool and exotic.

I heard the whispered plans through the wall of my mother's womb and grew a penis there and then.

There were a lot of Pauls and Darren's when I was at school. Must have been the male equivalents of Sharon and Tracey.

Named after a river? I'd have gone for Severn-Trent.

I would prefer the watered down version! But please don't get Soar.

The Rees-Moggs called their youngest sprog Sixtus. Not difficult to imagine what he is going to be called, at about the age he leaves prep school for Eton. I wonder if he will eventually want to be called something else.

[filthyfox]

I have grown into my name.  It really didn't suit me when I was younger.

 

Lots of love

Everyone else in class was named after a 15th century religious person. I’ve always been happy with Dave as it was different, albeit not so much when I left school. But just to prove I could be a bigger tool than my parents, I burdened my children with poncy Victorian labels.
