    Remember when everyone gets those letters in the mail with the name of their freshman year roommate for college?  Mine was SUSAN.  I proceeded to tell one of my friends about how it sounded like I was moving in with a middleaged woman.  Her response - "that's my mom's name".

    That's when I learned to stop saying things about names.

    (PS the roommate actually went by her middle name, and she wasn't middleaged)

Then they get mad at you if you write Kim when you've never seen them spell it.   OK, your name is Amy or Jennifer but by spelling it all phucked up it's not gonna make it more intervestink.

    Seems I find more Jenns that have it spelled as I do.

    Jennifer doesn't get so boring in other languages.... like German.. where basically, there is no  J. In essence, I'm Yennifer. Not so boring. But phlegmy.

    Name boringness can be derived by the number of rob-schneider-copy-guy-esque nicknames you can associate with a given name.  The lower that number, the less fun the name is.

    I don't go by Jenn to be unique unfortunately. I prefer people call me Jenn because its casual, and reflects the type of person I am.
    Call me silly.

    I always thought the name "Edward" was kinda boring, but I ended up married to and Edward?!

    I think we do associate names to previous people/experiences so we stay away from them.  For me I would never name my children Melissa or Michael.  "Kids" with those names always seemed to be trouble makers.  

    Exciting names would be Zeus, Justice or Jedediah?!

    I also do not like the name NICKI, NIKKI... I have never met a sweet Nicki.  

    But my parents named me Nichole, because it sounded good with Michelle, my older sister!

    I think we should just start naming our kids alien names... no not alien like from different countries.. but you know ALIEN.

    Like Zazoo or Quee or something. Then their kids can ooh and ahh and remember the days when names were sooooo boring.

    Nancy, none taken :)

    I always wanted an exotic name.. I think I'm going to take it out on my future children. Chlamydia here you go!

    We're not our names, we're our essence.  Okay, backlash begin...haha.

    btw, I think TODD is a very nice name.  There's a guy named Todd Lewis who wrote a great book on Newar Buddhism practiced in Nepal.  See, even people with "normal" names are interesting.  Amazing!  (please note sarcasm in that last sentence)

    I would have to vote for boring name: Methuselah. But what kills me are Filipino blended names...put parents' names together: Robert + Jacqueline = Robelyn! Mario + Eileen =  Marileen! Joseph + Teresa = Joresa! Then there was Mario + Concepcion = Maricon. Have fun explaining that to your Latino friends.

    But I love love love Jack and Simone.

    Mike or John
    When people tell me this is their name, I instantly forget it and next time I see them I can't remember their name

    Jonas T - true but i just hate how it sounds... i'm russian, and so both a's are like the a in 'cart'  for example, and the two n's are sounded out.  sometimes peoples say it as ana, with the first a like the a in 'fat' - but  i dislike that more.

    This thread is making me want to come out of the closet.  I've been keeping a secret for the past month.  My true name.  Ever since I read "Bartemeus" I'm afraid of revealing my name to just anyone.

    Funny thing is, my real name is mentioned as one of the "boring" names which I find amusing.

    Actually, my first and middle names are listed as boring/offensive.  By the same person!

    A game?  OK, I like games.  If anyone (besides Sammy P of course) guesses my real first and middle name in that order, I'll treat them to a drink at the bar of their choice, so long as it's in SF.

    Ellen M., thanks the heavens, No!  

    I'll only reply from now on if I see the correct one posted so I don't clutter up the joint.

    Alan is a pretty boring name.
    Edward as well

    However, the short ones can be interesting
