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.

Not on your poll, so picked "fit none of these categories."

Both my sister and I have always been called a nickname from our middle name. ****ing parents need to be flogged for that shit btw. ****ing give your kid a first name you are going to use.

Interesting question. As I have gotten older and meet people in casual situations I pay less attention when they say their name and flat out say "I'll remember virtually everything about you to a t except your name". My view is a name is just something trivial your parents puked up when you were a baby and is extremely subjective depending on what is popular at the time (ie Jenny, David, Thomas, Sarah, and now Kaitlyn, Hailey, Emma) which is assigned from birth with an exaggerated significance attached to it. If I met Kevy here in person with a blank slate, I would love to hear about relevant data extrapolated from a sea of information and all his other various quirks and unique qualities. "Kevin" is the least interesting thing about him in my mind and the last thing I would devote any energy to after the fact. Rainman is a thousand times more accurate as it basically states: severely overclocked upstairs, hilarious, and absolutely quirky and unique.

However, I do love it when an incredibly bright or interesting person was saddled with Tiffany/Tammy/Chad etc, the irony makes it hilarious to me for whatever reason.

I kind of like have a non-shortenable name myself, but then again I'm the type of guy who would use the formal version of my name anyway. I'd be the guy constantly saying, "My name is not Ted. It's Theodore."

That said, I like it when people cut the last syllable off of my name. It implies fondness and familiarity. I think only one person in my life has ever done it, which tells me a lot about my charm.

If you like, you can call me Kev. But nobody ever does.

Like you, I also find incongruous names funny, but pretty much only with children. There'll be some bratty kid running around, and you'll hear the parent say, "Atticus! Stop eating that feces!" or "Victoria! Don't bite Wilhelmina!" Maybe the name will fit when the kid's an adult, but sometimes they really don't match the kid.

So when you see someone you've met previously and can't remember their name do you just call them man or lady during conversation?
