My name's pretty common now, but not so much when i was growing up. In fact, I was the only Jason in my high school. Plus I've got III after my name when I write it formally, so I like to tell people that I got my name in 1888.

I used to LOATHE my name, and actually tried going by my middle name in late jr. high/early high school. Nope. Didn't take. I eventually got used to it--lol. Can't think of something I'd trade for now. I didn't know anyone else named Autumn until I was in high school, and then it was an elementary kid. Now I run into name doppelgängers occasionally, but they're always much younger.
....I goofed around with earlier post SHOCKING I know!!!......I like my middle name Scott, but toyed around with using my first name William, as my last name....thereby becoming "Scott Williams"....this all came about early in my broadcast career as everyone was using nom de plumes......

I like my name, but if I had an alter ego it might be "Miranda" or even "Amy"
Sounds like some crazy psychedelics to me........okay, I'll see myself out
...there MAY have been something ethanol related....
In that case, make mine Mack Kallan.
Stephen King. I understand I might be able to get some accidental book purchases on Amazon because of it.

I haven't really thought much about it, but it would have to be something that starts with an S. I have a lot of monogrammed items, plus a tattoo of my initials with my hubby's initials.
Cool thread, Doc Creed .
I'm a little sensitive about name changes. My given name is in Spanish but the Catholic nuns Anglicized it.
I remember I read the name Ara was
A Greek goddess of vengeance and destruction, she is the personification of curses. Her name is derived from Greek ara "prayer; vow; curse".
and I thought, Sigmund thy name is Ara.

My name is derived from the god of the grape harvest (Dionysius) and a couple of other strange things as well Dionysus - Wikipedia

It was frustrating, in school, having to learn Roman mythology in addition to Greek mythology. I was essentially learning the same god twice. I remembered names but couldn't square in which culture it belonged, lol.My name is derived from the god of the grape harvest (Dionysius) and a couple of other strange things as well Dionysus - Wikipedia

Origin of the name Shannon: Anglicized form of the Irish Seanán, which is a diminutive of Sean (old, wise). Alternatively, Shannon can be a borrowing of the name of the longest river in Ireland. It is believed to be derived from the Gaelic Sean (old) and abhann (river).
Shiver me timbers...aye, sure and begorrah! Old and wise, a foine lad I am!
