Realistic name choices...

[sweatydog.livejournal.com]

Long time no..see?

So at work I have to ask people their names for their orders. 50 Saras, 30 Michelles, 60 Christinas or Chrissys or Christies. (those numbers are totally inaccurate but thats how it seems). Chris is probably the most popular guys name as well. Chris, Steve/Stephen or Jeff.

Then I met an Edward. I hadn't gotten an Edward! It got me thinking about names I actually like on people. I actually really like Edward on people. I really like Arthur too. I met a boy, he was maybe 10 named Kellan.

I guess it was just a funny realization. On people I probably wouldn't use Fox or Clover. But I would use Edward.

Any comments or name suggestions. how many of your "names list" names would you actually use? Like REALLY. ACTUALLY. USE!

I think I'd actually use...3 or 4 from my list. (Luna, Jonas, Silas and Harriet)

Also, when I go places and have to give a name, I give a fake name. A popular, easy to pronounce one. My name is not difficult to me but to everyone else it apparently is. lol

I do the fake name thing, too! People seem to find "Eli" really difficult, so for a few minutes I am a Franz or Noah or Milo. I also find the name thing creepy, so I think I'd give a fake one for fun even if people understood my name.

at work people always think I can't understand their name when I just can't hear them and they get mad. Then I feel bad.
