Names.
January 27, 2018 at 3:39 pm
Does yours feel as wrong as mine does to me?

A rose and all that, but what do you think? How do you feel about your name? Do you have a nickname?

I’ve been looking for mine for a while and nothing seems to stick.

Humble Servant of Jesus. That's the only name people have.

Are you talking our handles on this board or our real names? My real name is similar to that of my biological father, which I feel isa nice thing. He seemed like a good guy.

As for the name you all know me as, well, I am an aviation buff, but I also just drew a blank that day.

All of em. Real names, nicknames, usernames, changed names, middle names. What they mean to you and how they feel.

Darrell's my given name, D is the nickname family and friends use, "Thumpalumpacus" is the nickname a buddy in the service bestowed upon me and the only one I use online.

I'm comfortable with all of them. I hated "Darrell" as a boy, but made my peace with it long ago. I've been called a lot worse. Smile

My college nickname was Stewie and/or Stewage.

I've had several other nicknames based on variations of my last name.

I have an extremely average, standard issue name. But it's not a bad one.

Edit: Alright since others have I will reveal my first name. I have revealed it by accident before anyway.

I am Mike or Michael. Like I said really standard issue name. In grade school we had to work out ways to differentiate me from all the other Mikes.

I chose mine with care, and about 5 seconds of deliberation.
