What is your first name?

Anger. Mom liked the eye rhyme it formed with our surname, Danger. Funny thing is, when I was born, English didn't yet exist; it was with great foresight that I was named. It took approximately 4.6 billion years for that joke to pay off, but I think it was worth the wait.

Dang. Here all this time I had you figured as Angel... and the Stones were just callin' ya Angie for short.

Here's the La Ley cover of that ancient tune...

All the females of similar age in my extended family got first or middle (or both!) names of Brit monarchs.. There must have been some radio drama equivalent of our more recent TV series like Victoria or Downtown Abbey or The Six Wives of Henry VIII ... or anyway something that women listened to in the 1940s to distract from just waiting for a husband to return from the war.

So.. we old folk are loaded up with kin named Anne, Jane, Mary, Elizabeth, Katherine, Catherine, Victoria... and skipping over to variants of European crowned heads also an Isabel, Wilhelmina, Cristina, Juliana. Heh but on the other side of my family they went for more biblical picks, so Sarah, Rachel, Zipporah, Esther, Leah, Rebecca and the proverbial trio of Faith, Hope and Charity. 🙄 Was waiting to hear that someone researching their way through the antiquity of our ancestry had scouted up a Jezebel but apparently that option's still open. 😛

They must have kidded you in school. My friends call me Hun. 😉 Actually on my gaming guild Discord channel, a friend was calling me Hunt, but he drops his Ts, so someone asked if his wife ever said anything about his online girlfriend. 🙂

I've revealed my name before so I don't mind mentioning it again 🙂

My name is Adler; it means "eagle" in German. The other day someone by mistake called me "Alder", which is a type of tree and didn't sound bad to me. Just don't call me "Addie"; only close family members are allowed to call me that. 😛

Mine is a little embarrassing, but I'm Errin, and I am a male. Ah well, 😛. So many people say the two Rs throw them off, but because it is "Errin" and not "Aaron" I get weird looks sometimes, like when I ordered Postmates to my office earlier today, and the driver was wondering where "Errin" was (because I am guessing they were expecting a woman) and well, I am standing right there.
