Tell me about your first name.
 

When you introduce yourself to someone, what do you want them to call you? Is it the name that's on your birth certificate? A nickname? A shortened version or your formal name? Do you just make up different names on the spur of the moment, leading to a web of deceit where you can never see more than one acquaintance at a time?

Poll coming as soon as I can properly introduce it.

Haha, mine is a shortened version of Eddie that is on my bc.

I have two birth certificates and three first names technically..

I use the name on the birth certificate that doesn't make me sound like a Portuguese immigrant... (Emanuel Louis)

Shortened common name. Named after my uncle who died before I was born.

I don't have a bith certificate / Barak Hussein Obama

Everybody calls me by my last name.
I descended from Robin Hood and Little John.

I have the same first name as Rainman. Always kind of hated that there is no real option for shortening it (NO, that is not acceptable!). For this reason I wished for a long time to have been given the name James. So many options (not as many as William or Richard though)!

I’ve always ended up with nicknames. Spott was what my friends called me growing up in KC. Everyone at work calls me Chucky because of my resemblance to John Gruden.

Share the same first name as my father. I was given a nickname when I was young and it stuck.

Little Hood?

Dang two people on this site named Rain? What are the chances?

I was named after Jesus Christ. About 1,963 years after.

I don't use my first name anymore. I go by my CP handle.

DAMIT!

NO!
