NO In fact, if someone addresses me by that name, one of three things is possible: 1. They want to sell me something 2. They work for the government 3.It's my mother .

Yes, although I have also grown fond of my Askville name. My first name is a single sylable, so I have avoided nicknames. It is an Anglo-Saxon saint's name, but not a common one.So I can compare myself with the saint, to see how I hold up.

He was more humble, but I'm taller. Our name is in runes in the bottom right corner of the little piggy picture I use here.My last name is Celtic (Gallowegian, specifically) and so I can dress up in a kilt if I feel like it. Plus, it means something in the orignial Gaelic, so I can explain it to people.

I like explaining things to people. I like my Askville name, too. I have used it on different internet venues for many years.

It is very neutral and gender free, just like the dis-embodied presence it denotes..

I absolutely detest my first name and I have used my middle name all of my life. Even the Social Security Administration only has my first initial and not my whole first name. I have thought numerous times about legally dropping my first name but it something of a family name so I haven’t done so, yet.It could be worse I suppose.

In my wife’s family there is a tradition of naming male children Marion. That name would have had me at the courthouse on the day I turned eighteen.

That guy had every right to beat the crap out of whoever gave him that name.

It's okay. My name is Marshall (no secret, as that’s also part of my Askville name), but I have mixed feelings about it. It’s not a common name, so I like that aspect, but, for some reason, most of the characters in movies and television that have been given the name "Marshall" are portrayed as "nerds"--so evidently, screenwriters think that the name Marshall is "nerdy".

On the other hand, I am not a nerd (I'm more of an "SOB"), and so I don’t like that connotation. It could have been worse, though. My parents got the idea for my name from a Marshall’s Drug Store near where they were living when I was born.

Think what might have happened to me if it a been a Walgreen’s, Rexall, Rite-Aid, Savon, Long’s or other chain drug store. I sure wouldn’t want to have the Askville handle WalgreenO! .

I didn't used to but I do know My parents come from different countries to the one I was born in. Me and my brother were given Italian names. Paola is the Italian version of Paula.

We lived in a very white and Conservative area and we all used english-ified versions of our names! I called myself Paulina up until I applied to university. I love my given name now.

Although it doesn't pronounce (it's pow-la) like it looks (pay-oh-la, yuck), and many people turn it into a guy's name (Paolo) or otherwise mangle it, I am very happy with it. Other Italian names I like are Rosalba and Fiorella.

Does anyone hear on askville have a clue?LOL.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
