Speaking of last names

Lilith · Post by **Lilith** » 2003-09-02 12:47pm

My last name, Kim, is literally one of those that every other Korean has--somewhere around 40% or so of Koreans are Kim's. Plus, the particular "clan" of the Kim family that I belong to is also the most common (the Kim's are broken up along specific family clans). But other than periodic questions asking me if I know a so and so Kim who lives in *insert random location,* I really like it--it's straight forward, short, and mono-syllabic

I wouldn't really want to change my last name. It's only two letters long, so it takes so little time to write or spell for someone else! What I can't believe is that people sometimes ask just how to spell "Ha."

My last name is fairly rare. I gained some notoriety in 6th grade cause I happened to have the same last name as a girl named Tickey when I arrived at that school. She was black, I was not. Things like that are hillarious to 6th graders.

Hmm, Valdemar or Zakalwe... what to choose.

I always liked MacLeod though or my Mum's middle name, McKenzie.

I like grand names too such as PHILLIP OF BURGUNDY. Any Blackadder fan will get that.

Hmm, Blackadder...

My last name is ancient, noble, and renowned. I'll never change it.

But if I did, I'd go fo my Great-Grandmother's maiden name, Daudistahl.

I'll always be a Dalton, mothafucka.

His Divine Shadow wrote:What would you change your last name to if you could?

Something that's really easy for idiots to pronounce and spell.

"Robertson" sounds simple enough, I think. Robert-son, as in "son of Robert" or "Robert's son."

Yet, over the years I've often been called "Mr. Robinson," "Roberson" and "Robson" or "Robeson." Once, I kid you not, I even received a letter addressed to "Sean Bolderston."

Bolderston?! What kind of illiterate shit is that?

I think "R" would suffice, or maybe I'll dispense with the last name altogether. Screw the family. I'll give my kids the option of changing it back to the full, "complicated" version if they want to

I would only change my last name to Wong instead of my current "Wang" to avoid the jokes yet I'll still be King.

I used to want to. My name is Herron and kids can be cruel. I got called Fishey for some reason becasue of it. My surname is Irish for "Son of the Devotee of St. Keiran". I've come to love it. However i am still tempted to change it becasue of my family history. My family are the founders of the biggest shower of bastards in Northern Ireland. But hey how many guys here can say their family founded a Parimilitary Army.

Assthwomper. Michael-Vincent Charles Assthwomper.

Love to hear the teachers call that out everyday during roll.

Rye · Post by **Rye** » 2003-09-02 05:56pm

"L Jackson" would be cool.

or perhaps "King Of Kings"

Or some demon/ angel name like Azazel or Moloch or Baal, imagine if my name was something like Rye Q Moloch, now that would be cer-a-zee.

I think I'd like to change it to Khan. It has a certain ring to it.....Paul....Khan...

Sounds good...

Tylczak is a good name. I'll keep it.

On a side note, here's an actual name on a birth certificate that I mailed out today:

Legacy Olivia Cain.

I feel sooooooo sorry for that little girl... and I wonder if the Father or Mother thought that one up.

Post by **Zaia** » 2003-09-03 12:01am

Yes, I would like to change my name, because mine is long and complicated, but since the first simple name that I like happens to belong to the man I'm in love with, saying I'd like his might come off a little on the psychotic side. Which I try to avoid when I can. So I'll just shut up now and not mention that my name would be Kristin Drake if I somehow managed to get it in the end.

Solid Snake · Post by **Solid Snake** » 2003-09-03 12:14am

I rather like my last name..

Lyons... Any guesses to what my family crest is?

Post by **Gandalf** » 2003-09-03 12:16am

Hunt would be kind of funny as a last name for me. Though maybe Trotsky is better.

Agent Fisher · Post by **Agent Fisher** » 2003-09-03 12:19am

Change my name to Sam Fisher

I'll change my name to Solid Snake, then kill you.

Agent Fisher · Post by **Agent Fisher** » 2003-09-03 12:25am

Why? Fisher and Snake both served the US goverment. Snake is crazed old soldier turned "terrorist"

Alex Moon · Post by **Alex Moon** » 2003-09-03 12:32am

I like Moon just fine. I guess if I was serious about changing it, I'd go with something like Hamer my grandmother's maiden name, and one I've always liked.

I wonder if somewhere out there, there is a kid whose parents named him 'Stone Johnson.'

Agent Fisher · Post by **Agent Fisher** » 2003-09-03 12:37am

As some of my freinds pointed out if your first name is Mike, do not change your last name to Hunt. Just say those two names together quickly and you'll see.

I once taught a girl named Holly Wood. No lie.

I think someone's parents watched Cool World once too many times.
