Everybody is always about Zachariah, Jeremiah, or some other biblical name that everyone else has. I guess people would just call him Neb, though, which is an unfortunate nickname.

More names nobody uses:

Abbos
Amminadabs
Etheidwithas
Methuselah
Wilgefortis

I *think* this might have been covered earlier in the month but I'm curious. Your name is a bit bigger than the usual. Is it generally shortened in informal conversation?

Fair enough!

Kids still use tons of acronyms and shortcuts. They do it on twitter constantly. My niece uses them. I've only become very familiar with things like "rn" and "hmu" and "af" in relatively recent history. Incidentally, young people (including teens and college age) also type in caps on twitter a lot for some reason -- Otherwise highly intelligent young people. Not sure what that's about.

Stop! No! Don't burst my bubble. :P

I know some people who started using AF ironically, even pronouncing it "aff" instead of "ay eff", and now they use it plainly. The same thing happened to me with totes and adorbs.

I have a lot of very good photographer friends. I'm terrible at it, but I don't mind posing for them every now and then.

A whole lot of names are Biblical. Noah, Nicholas, Peter, John, Joshua, Mary, Isaac, Luke, Paul. Though that's more about the names being old and the Bible being old than it is about divine inspiration.

I would caution against giving someone a certain name just because it's unique. Uniqueness isn't always a good thing.

John or JC are the only abbreviations people use. Some people use my full name, but not many.

Might as well go full celebrity and give your kids random nouns for names.

Hi there, Applesauce. Tell Jambalaya and Norse-poll to see me after class. Their classmate, Copilot needs help working on a project.
 
^^^^Those are all real names.

According to a story dating back to the 14th Century, Saint Wilgefortis took a vow of virginity when she was promised in marriage by her father. Following her prayers for help, she grew a beard and moustache.

Damn
 
Yes! Finally, it's gonna bring this humidity right the hell down.
I goddamn love the rain.

I've decided that this must be sampled for one of the boss themes

I'm aware that it's already sampled for a Justice song, I don't give a shit

Also, +1 for Lilith's new pic.
 
If I say "hella" it sounds like I'm making fun of people who say hella. So I don't try.

I don't mind if other people say it, though. I'm not all hung up.
 
I say if you want to name your kid Applesauce, then nobody can stop you.

I already have my future children's names picked out. Alexander and Charlotte. My future wife is just going to have to agree to those terms.

I like the name Charlotte quite a lot, but Portrait of Ruin ruined it for me. Any time I hear the name I just imagine the characters going "Jonathan! Charlotte! Jonathan! Charlotte!" as you repeatedly hit the switch button. If my daughter is linked to a Castlevania game I wouldn't want it to be like the fourth best one.

Same thing happened to "Zoey" because of Left 4 Dead when my friend and I would just keep blurting names at each other ad nauseam any time we played.
 
What I've learned from RP GAF is that putting a face to a name helps me keep track of who is who. When that goes away, I may or may not lose track of some of you. I guess we'll see.

I've also learned that a lot of you drink a lot of booz. Jesus do you guys love your booz.

That's part of the reason why I switched out my face a few days ago. Give people a chance in this thread to adapt to just seeing my username. ;)

Not 100% accurate and timezones screw with it a bit anyway, but hey. Close enough.
 
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Just don't make any monster faces - that part freaks me out every time. Same thing happened in that horrible Al Pacino Satan movie... Sudden monster faces. Yikes. No thank you!

To quote the great Eve from a song by The Roots; "when you sweatin over the keyboard think of me when you code".

To quote the song Is She Really Going Out With Him, "is she really going out with him?"

When I was a little kid I toyed with the idea of being called Alex off of my middle name. I didn't like sharing names with my dad at the time.

One of my favorite parts of Arrested Development was just the name Gob. It gives me so much joy just thinking about it.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that! Will Arnett is so great.

Though I was actually doing a play on "Josh with a J" and the great GIF/JIF debate.

My name is Matt but some people call me Matthew and there's a whole group of people who call me Peter (even in real life) but it's very specific to that group of people that I've known for years.

Where do you stand on it? [gif pronounciation] The correct answer is a "J" sound - "jif".

A couple of people call me Joshy. My best friend's wife calls me Joshua (and is the only one who can get away with it).
 
Lilith in greyscale you look like that one girl from that CW show about a girl and a bunch of vampires.
