    My last name begins with W which has made me grow to hate lining up in alphabetical order.

    'Billy' (my first) is better than Washington although some people assume that it is actually William or that it's spelled Billie.

    FAIL on your teachers and most people who say "we'll go in alphabetical order", for not figuring out that it isn't fair... :eek: how about going in alphabetical REVERSE order every now and then, emmeffers?

    My last name was always called first and it wasn't until I had friends whose names were before me in middle school...

    I like my FIRST name more.

    Alphabetically my last name is towards the back, which sucks.

    I don't mind either of my names with the exception of graduation ceremonies etc etc etc

    my first name is shannon, my last name has "anus" in it...so, definitely my first.

    i've actually thrown around the idea of changing my last name to my mom's maiden name, mcdonough, which i think would be really cool, and irish.

    I like my first name. It's pretty unique, and people compliment it all the time.

    My last name is also at the end of the alphabet. Plus, nobody ever pronounces it correctly, even though its phonetic. Just sound it out. Not that hard, people.

    Should be which one can I stand the most?


    Not in love with my first name.

    Loathe my middle name with a passion, always wanted to change it and probably will in the near future (just haven't gotten around to it).


    Last name is not that bad, not common, but not unusual either.


    I love my nicknames to death.

    Troy- Irish soldier, iv'e always thought that was kinda COO. Harris- means last name, not so much.

    Troy lee Harris, put it all together and its sounds like a general from the confederate army.

    I feel juvenile now, but that's funny. All I can think of is the scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian:

    "What's so funny about the name....Shannon LikesItInAnus???"

    I LOVE my last name. It's the whole reason I decided to start playing drums back in the 5th grade.

    Someone should start a thread on the most unfortunate names ever. My wife has a kid in her class named Daily Wood. She said she thought it was a joke when she was calling role on the first day of school.

    Love my first name. It's Tray. People always spell it wrong (Trey), but I like that it's different. I'm indifferent about my last name.

    Easily my last name. Nothing against my first name, but last name just carries tradition with it, ya know? I also love my middle name....makes me feel cool on the court when I can say...."My middle name is Jay B****." after I drain a jumper in front of my opponents hand lol.

    Hate my last name, its like Matthews but spelled totally different. Instead of going into the entire schpiel of how to pronounce correctly, I stick to Matthews.

    I like my first name better. Kinda typical, Sean.

    Last name. It means "Son of Grace" in its Gaelic form. That's pretty cool.
