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. |

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) |
