    I've got a pretty common name and, while haven't actually met someone, in person, who has the same name as me, I've seen them on Facebook. Every time, I think whether or not he deserves my name more than me - not that he's superior but whether or not the name fits him better.

    Do you think you're the most deserving of your name?

    I don't know. It's just a name...

    Mine has Hebrew roots and I'm German, so it definitley doesn't 'fit' me better than others.

    I actually know more than a few people who it 'fits' better than it does me, but I don't loose much sleep over it to be quite honest. :)

    Yes. The meaning of my given name describes my personality perfectly.

    My first name is Fulton, and I weigh 300lbs (not quite a Full Ton)...but close enough to joke about it.

    I don't know. I don't find myself impaling people and drinking their blood.

    Only I should have the honor of carrying my first name.

    My first name means "famous with the spear". Short of that spear meaning my dick, there is actually no way for me to not fail to live up to my name.

    I prefer using my middle name to my first name because my first name is common and I just don't like it. I've never seen anyone, even online, with my middle name.

    Tough act to follow.

    My first name is Tray, spelled with an a instead of e, so it's a little different. I was either named after my grandfather Ray, or my parents wanted me to be a girl named Tracy...I'm not sure which story is true.

    I was sure that I was the only person with my exact first and last name, but I just came across some dbag in Dallas that spells it exactly the same. Ruined my day.
