GORQITO Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 With my name irl, I don't hate it, I mean, I don't have much of a choice, I didn't name myself, and don't plan to. And actually a good friend of mine also has the last name Dent. As with the whole gamertag name i like mine cuz it's original and simple. Not really into the whole "xxx" or "l33t" text for usernames (except for my youtube acc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minty Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I kid you not, I went to high school with a Michael Hunt. I was on a conference call a few weeks back when a Mike Hunt came on. If that was youre name, you'd never let anyone else shorten it, let alone yourself. Needless to say, I had to mute the call and laugh for 5 minutes. And then finish with "Whats the best way to get in touch with Mike Hunt?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApochWeiss Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Where I work, one of the accounts has an employee by the name of "Cam To". For those who don't get it Cam To Cam Toe Cam is short for Camille due to accent the girl says it as "Cam Mel" Cam Mel Toe say it fast like it's been your name all your life and you get: Camel Toe!

ApochWeiss Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) Oh god I completely forgot my landlord's name. Richard Woods slang for Richard? Dick Dick Woods Yeah...he prefers to be called Dick. Probably for that reason haha. Imagine (if you've seen the show) Uncle Red from The Red Green Show (a Canadian comedy) just slimmer going by the name Dick Woods. And as far as my name goes, I don't hate it, but it's just confusing and common, which is why when people called me "The Apocalypse of Wyoming Area" after Columbine (thank you news retards for painting me perfectly as a potential homicidal rapist! asshats) I started using that out of spite and it stuck. Sounds better then Jason, and works well with my last name, which has people greatly confused. It's actually German, but for some reason people think I'm Jewish because of how it's spelled. Weiss instead of Weis. But if it bothered me so much I'd go and just have it changed legally...to The Destroyernateror!!! Destroyernateror Weiss...has a nice ring to it, don'cha think?

Eksy Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I like your real life name, and I think it's cool you rock it on the net as well. While some people value their anonymity on the internet, it gets used in some of the most annoying, troll-ish ways possible. Personally, I think I always kind of put myself out there - being mysterious and unknown is overrated. ;] As far as my RL name goes, it's Edelita. Most people can't pronounce it correctly. ./shrug It's been shortened as Eda, which gets mixed up with Eva all the time. My mum calls me Lita. I still prefer Eksy.

ginge88isfun Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 My real name is Jason, don't really hate I kinda like, apart from when there's some scumbag on Jeremy Kyle (People from the UK will know what i'm on about) is called Jason which seems to be a popular name for a guest on that show.

Sonic Riptide Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Ugh I wish my RL name was my RL name... When I was christened, my parents thought it would be a smart idea to name me a different name then what is on my birth cert. Now everytime I need to fill out offical documents, say a passport, everything gets confused and it's just one big headache... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie1000013 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I think Gareth Dent's a pretty cool name TBH. My name was James until three people in my class had the same name and then I changed it to Jamie lol. I would never change my GT simply because 6 pound is a rip off lol and I kinda like it (even though no one else does :-P). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozza Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I'd rather stay with my nickname. My first is Micheal and thats fine. Friends call me Mikey but my school friends all call me Nozza.. Someone I hadn't seen in a very long time actually didn't know my first name because everyone knew me as Nozza. Nozza comes from my surname which is, and btw I'm not overly keen on it, Norsworthy. Its to long, sounds posh and I have effin' spell each time someone asks!!! Also people when letters are sent get it wrong. We've had Norseworthy, Noseworthy, Northworthy and just the other day my dad got Nortsewothy <-- WTF? That doesnt even sound write, let alone spelt! And I know my GT has OIIO in it but its actually for a reason. My b'day is on the 1st of the 10th so.. Yeah 23 in a few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtr1gg3r Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 well my last name is one of a kind, and I get told its awesome lol Its Trigger, if you hadnt guessed by my forum name. Also, I call myself TubZ because I got nicknamed it in school and its just stuck. Also as you said, it just rolls off the tongue nicely too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBlessing 09 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Somebody in my schools called Hazel Hazel, don't ask me why her parents named there daughter with her own surname. Surnames/Nicknames that end with z, s or n and normally the best because they're easy to finish and don't murder your sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teh BeZ Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Yeh my name sucks - Robin Hutton - I quite nicely got bullied for like the first part primary school because it But ever since Counterstrike I used Bezzin (cause i though it was a cool name) as my online name and that has just kind of stick as a real nickname and been further abbreviated into Bez, which I love P.s Dent is cool, like Harvey Dent P.P.S I find it weird that your GT and your avatar AND signature are all about your name - unless you made them after this thread got a good response?
