What is your first name?

[SmoothieX]

Ahzweepey.

 

[PianoWizzy]

I respond to; Heid, Heids, but never, ever 'Heidi Hi'. For those of you not familiar with a dreadful British tv show 'Hi-di-Hi' which was set in a holiday camp ~ consider yourself lucky.

“Hi-dee-hi, hi-dee-ho” was a nonsense phrase popularized by musician Cab Calloway. I hope no one’s ever called you “Heidi the ho”![/QUOTE]

Even more popularized by Whose Line is it Anyway.

The Irish Drinking Song.

I'd say it's dreaded, but it's funnier than the Hoedown

 

[Sakrysta]

Angela. I like that it's common enough that people know how to spell it, yet not obnoxiously common.

My only irritation with it is the nickname "Angie." I'm just SO NOT an Angie. In college a couple close friends called me "Ange" which sounds fine but is awkward to spell.

Nothing is funnier than a hoedown. Nothing.

One thing with being called Joel, I don't remember going through school with any other people called Joel. I love the uniqueness of the name. I remember there are few people here with that (including one person who didn't like it - and changed it)

I don't know anyone in my generation that share my name. And I kinda like it that way. Seeing as I known about eight "Johan", which is basically the Swedish version of "John".

And you know, I don't really think I know any "Dave's"

 

[iguana_tonante]

And you know, I don't really think I know any "Dave's"

I knew a few Davide in my life, and we actually called one of them "Dave" in English. (Dunno why. Probably for the lulz.)

 

[PianoWizzy]

Would two Davids count as Daves?

 

[CorporalClegg]

Or Davies.

And then there is, of course, Dave Davies.

 

[scotpens]

^^ What about Davy? Is he still in the navy?

 

[Itisnotlogical]

I'm Alex. There aren't many Alex's that I know, so I'm angry that so far every Alex I've ever known has been a jerkbag meanyhole.

Alan Davies.

*squeals silently at the Billy Joel reference*

 

[Admiral_Young]

Adam.

 

[SVD]

B.J. is my first name, although it is an initialism for my full name + Junior.

A TV character went by BJ, said he was named after his mother Bea and his father Jay.

(props for getting the before-at-least-half-of-our-times reference)

Anyway, to my name. It's Torbjörn. Biking name combining the Viking God of Thunder Tor, and the Swedish word for "bear". So I'll either smite you with some lightning or rip you to pieces.

Pronounce please? My internal reading voice is having troubles.

I've had similar experience with my name, Glenn. Plain enough, but highly uncommon. Only twice have I even met someone with my name, even the single "n" variant.

 

[Kommander]

Matthew, or Matt if two syllables requires too much effort to speak. My dad wanted to name me Demetrius, but my mom wouldn't let him. He then wanted to name me Gordon, his and my grandfather's name, which ended up as my middle name. I'd have preferred either. Matthew is far too boring and ordinary a name for someone like me. That's why I'm Kommander now.

People like to ask what my real name is when I introduce myself as Kommander, for some reason. I usually make something up. In the past I've used Heracles and Aahzmandius. Lately I've been telling people it's D'artagnan.

Sure, I guess the closest in English is: Tor-b-yearn.

 

[TrekNut87]

I'm known as Natalie 95% of the time.

I'll respond to Nat, but outside of family and close friends, no one ever calls me that.

 

[Roshi]

Mine is "The Generous". No kidding.

[ByrdMan]

Phonetically, my first name sounds like Throat-warbler, but it's spelled Raymond.
