What is your first name?

I suspect Bernard. For no particular reason... Anyway, Happy New Year's Eve to mad and sane alike. :)

I'm thinking Jason.

And based on your location and passing on my earlier question, you are English and therefore not the Neil Smith of Kansas City Chiefs fame. How disappointing. Not that you are a disappointment, I mean. Just that I would have been really excited. Not that you aren't exciting. I think I'll just stop and go to bed.

Happy New Years everybody.
 
First name: James

Maybe a more interesting thread would be people's middle names. Some people have unusual middle names. Probably as many that have unusual first names :p

I want to know if we have anyone named Mortimer.
 
Robert

Like the above poster said, middle names might be more interesting. Luckily my mom vetoed what my dad wanted my name to be and it became my middle name - Alois.

Sorry, missed that one. I'm just a nobody, sorry to say. :(
 
So I got stuck with one of the most common first names ever:

Michael...boring I know
my friends call me Mike which is nice, because I think Michael is too formal.
my family calls me Mikey, which annoys me but hey what can you do.

My middle name is horrible and I curse my parents for giving it to me. It is Earl, but hey at least they didn't give me Duke as my first name.
 
My actual name is almost unpronounceable. So I go by Erik, like a bunch of other people here apparently. Everybody always spells it wrong anyway though.

Glad my Dad didn't go with his first choice. Wolfe. Given my last name, that wouldn't have been cool.

Predictive text on cell phones guesses words based on the letters on the number keys you type.

JAMES = 52637
LANDS = 52637

So, when the user types 52637, the phone guesses "lands" instead of "James" because it's used more often and is therefore the correct guess more often.

Predictive text is the death of all conversation. It condemns us to live inside our own Samuel Beckett play where we repeat over and over the same conversations, conversations that are not even ours in the first place. If there is one thing I would like from an iPhone it is a solution to crappy predictive text - either make it work properly or get rid of it.
