    When I was young, there were endless schoolyard jokes about the pronunciation of Galen.

    No, I hate it with a passion and changed it when I was 22. I don't mind revealing the name I now use but my birthname will forever remain a mystery.

    I'm not allowed to say.

    On a totally unrelated note, over the years I've made an unhealthy amount of usernames and puns based off of a certain name...

        It's usually Joss or Josie for me lol I just don't here Jocelyn very often so I've just think it sounds odd. No offense to your best friends of course.

  • It's ok I guess. I just wish they had spelled it Tayl(o)r instead of Tayl(e)r. No one ever spells it with the e.

      I'm Alex too. Alexander.

      It's kind of annoying that the name has become so common that's my only problem with it.

        Yes, but I have divulged so many secrets that I can be spotted IRL. So, I can neither confirm, nor deny my real name.

  • Arm0se

    I wish I could tell you my real name. I really really do. But then people I know IRL would know who I am... So for now, I'll just remain Arm0se Awesome Table.

  • slings_and_arrows

    My name does n't have enough syllables and sounds a bit ditzy I think. So I don't think it suits me. I hardly come across anyone with the same name so it can't be a very well liked name if none wants to call their kids it.

  • Yes, but the shorten version of it. My birth name is Charles but I go by Chaz.

  • thegypsysailor

    I didn't when I was in school, but when I stopped using the kiddie version (like Robbie for Robert), I was OK with it. My last name kinda suits my lifestyle, though I was teased a lot as a kid because of it.

  • itsSnowing

    I meant to click no instead of yes! I used to hate it because it's really uncommon and people could never spell it right. I still don't like it but at least I can shorten it to something more common.

          You don't like corned beef?? Corn beef and pastrami go so well together. Turkey Ruben isn't bad either.

            Corn beef and pastrami on the same sandwich? I love them both, but I don't think my arteries would thank me for those two together.
