My boyfriends name causes him issues. "Can I get your name please?" "John Jones." "Can I get your real name?" Sometimes people get pissed thinking he's giving a fake name lol. You'd be surprised how often a John Jones dies, has a warrant out, etc etc. At least it's not John Smith.

I actually know a John Smith. his brothers are Jake and Jack

My husband has a very unique name that I won't share b/c it feels weird to, but he typically gets "no but what is your first name" when introducing himself. B/c it sounds like a last name.

When I was 20, I worked with this yuppie douchebag type whose name was Morrow.

my neighbor named her son Thor, and I used to know someone who named her boys Havoc and Chaos

 

[Jerami]

holy shit that's hilarious. who can't pronounce Jeremy??

Most everyone, I've found. It's mostly people my age or older. And if they did say it right, they thought it was short for Jeremiah, because, why not?

Where and how do you see this information? I've been looking around but cannot find it

If you have MTS installed and you left (or right) click, select Hit Tracker and update the database, it will be listed on the right hand side of the page for you.

I dated a guy whose father was middle eastern, and his name was very strange... and also his last name. So it was like "Name Name" plus side is he's only like the second person in existence with the name (dad is the first) downside is... everything else having to do with it.

Should be 3XCYFDC5RLRTMGI4732V4C1Z0JBO73 for these ones...

I just love her screen name,lol. I envision a drag queen (sorry if I offend), it would be a great drag name.

I was thinking 70s disco singer.

his first name was the same as his last name?

My friend's kid's response when trying to learn my name. "No! I'm not Jere Me! You're Jere You!"
So, to him, I'm JereYou.

Yup, it's a traditional thing to do in certain middle eastern countries. Kind of neat, but also really annoying. And EXTRA annoying to explain to my Catholic family.

ooh I didn't know that. I know in some Asian cultures (idk if that's the PC way to say that) their first name is actually their family name. didn't know that about middle eastern countries though. interesting
edit: this is redundant oops

That is great. I made the mistake of pointing out Orion to my son Ryan and Xander wanted to know where Oxander was, I found it, and had a star named so he would have the proof,lol.

On a serious note, My HF is a sea of red, but I have noticed that some of those which are red have pretty good TO ratings, anyone know of a way to adjust the settings on that part? Or is it set in a way that I can not control?

I think that's PC? One of my friends married an absolutely wonderful woman from China whose last name is her first name. For a long time she adopted an American name, but now she's gone back and it's a little confusing but great.

pretty sure you can't change that. that's why it's good to judge those for yourself. I've found some great hits by doing red-TO stuff.
