Poll question: Do the most unique people you know have an equally unique name?
Edited on Fri Oct-07-05 11:08 PM by jpgray
The most unique people I know have incredibly boring and ordinary names.

3. I have a VERY unique name and I am a VERY unique person
Seriously, I have never in my life met anyone that has the same first name as me.

I used to hate my name as a kid, now I love it. It is very unusual. Just like ME!

:hi:

6. LOL! Nooo.....
My first name is Chimene, pronounced "Shi-mane". I put a little accent thingy over the first "e" when I was in college, thinking it would help with pronunciation. Sometimes it does, most times it doesn't. :eyes: I've had a lifetime of people either misspelling it or mispronouncing it. Oh well, I love it now, though. Never met another one! Sometimes I think I had to grow into my name.

My parents got it from a movie called "El Cid" back in the early 60's. Charleton Heston and Sophia Loren. She played El Cid's wife, Chimene. My mom was pregnant, they liked the name, here I am.

To this day, I am a huge movie buff. Go figure.

I take it from your name you're a big XFiles fan, am I right? :)

8. Why, thank you, Fox!
I think it was my incredibly powerful deductive abilities that tipped me off. I'm really quick that way. :sarcasm:

See ya around the lounge, buddy!

11. Nah.
Generally, the most beautiful freaks I know have totally blah names. I could list probably about 30 fairly ordinary names, maybe 5 or 6 unusual ones.
