"Your Angel of Banter Awaits." ThePhantasm Presents Random Banter #179

[Devmaar]

Well I don't actually have a middle name which helps

[AsteriskAmp]

How can someone have only have 9 letters between there first, middle, and last names? Literally the only thing I can think of is Lee Lee Lee.

Which would actually be kind of sweet.

For funzies, my full name is 17 letters. Woop.

Syllables I believe, not letters, which makes the name rather big.

[Cobra_Ikari]

Shortest last name I can think of is Ng. There are plenty of 3 letter names in...mmm, several languages, though I'm having a hard time thinking of non-Asian ones. Probably because my mind's still on Ng.

[Devmaar]

Li Na only has 4 letters in her name

AF vet, checking in.
No ABU for you? I miss the BDUs personally. When you work in dirty environments, you want a uniform that easily hides stains. Black oil/dirt/grease/other blends in fine with the Woodland color scheme. The washed out grey/green/blue is a stain magnet.

I suppose. Either way we're going to be behind with what we get, so maybe it's just me wanting to be a little more in-line with what's standard outside of our school.

So.

Update on the exploits of office cat:

Office cat has decided to adopt me. Sits on my chair when I stand up, follows me to the copier, constantly asks for attention...

Still, if office cat turns out to be boss cat, at least I'll have made an impression with repeated head scratches and tummy rubs. And I haven't gotten scratched or bitten once! Huh.

Discretely ask the cat for a promotion. Its response will tell us at last whether it is or is not boss cat.

[Coidzor]

Ugh. I hate getting things in my eyes. I ended up getting some kind of dust in my eyes today and was barely able to make it long enough to pull off of the road safely while I was driving because I could barely see even as I struggled to keep my eyes from snapping shut from the pain of having them open through the tear reflex and grating feel of whatever got on them.

Heh, my full name tallies up at 23 letters, because Polish loves excessive consonants, much to the chagrin of everyone who tries to say it.

[Saithis Bladewing]

23 letters here.

[Mutant Sheep]

Mine is only 13. I FEEL SMALL AND EMBARASSED.

[Devmaar]

Still beat me by almost 50%

Bob Jones?

David Li-Po

(note that this assumes hyphens don't count)

I only regret my parents didn't give me some ridiculously Polish name like Grzegosz or Mieczysław. Daniel is rather short.

[Devmaar]

Bob Jones?

If it was that you'd actually beat me by just over 50% [/maths-pedant]

Your last name isn't THAT hard to pronounce. I vaguely remember doing the phonetic breakdown of it. Consonants are just... not very beautiful looking when so many clutter.

23 letters here.

14 if going by North American tradition, 21 if going by South American tradition.

[Maxios]

My full name (including middle name) is 23 letters. I have a very complicated last name, pretty much everyone spells it wrong the first few times. Once, I was the headliner of a newspaper (I wrote a 100 page book at the age of 10, never got published thank god because it was awful) and they mangled my last name.

[DraPrime]

Cluttered consonants are gorgeous! It's just that you romance language people have too many of those wimpy vowels.

As for my last name, tell that to the many many many many English speakers who have tried to say it. During my whole lifetime, I think only one person who didn't already speak a Slavic language got it on their first try. Never mind the fact that it's taken some years to get it right.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

First name 5 letters, middle name 5 letters, last name 4 letters. Awww yeeee

Your family did not know how to say their own name? Why am I not a part of that!!

You should look at Sinospheric languages, they have more vowels and accents on top.

I think it's the "ch" sound which is hard to get right unless you have seen a number of similar last names or have a vague knowledge of Slavic phonetic structures.

Just noticed my name, my first last name and my second last name (South American custom of Father's Last Name and Mother's Last Name) are 7-7-7 in term of number of letters, the same happens with both of my sisters. Lucky!

[Tragic_Comedian]

Greatings from college, friends. My roommate never showed up. I have the whole dorm room to myself.

That... might be kinda cool. As long as you have a good community around you, having your own room is definitely a blessing. Wish you luck in college!

There is no "ch" sound in Biedrzycki.

Excellent! Having room to yourself is awesome!

My poor unfortunate sons. Giovanni will have at least a 19 letter name and Anakin-Zebulon will have a 24 letter name at best.

If that's how you want to name your kids, then I totally support you becoming a parent. As for me, due to my path in life I'm never gonna have kids, but if I did have a son I would have to name him Dante. That name is badass.

I am actually probably going to name my son Dante and not the aforementioned names. One: because it is badass. Two: I was suppose to be named Dante, but a cousin born right before I was stole it. Three: It goes well with my last name. Four: I like that cousin.

[LaZodiac]

I'll never have to worry about naming kids. And my name is quite short, by my understanding (and comparision to you guys).

[Blue Ghost]

I know a guy named Dante. It's a pretty cool name.

I don't know what I'll name my kids (if I ever have any). For girls' names, I'm quite fond of Mariel at the moment, but that will probably change. For boys' names, I have absolutely no idea.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

James. Because I'm boring, but I really freaking like that name.

and I totally would PM you, MoonCat, but I hate conversing over PM personally. It's just soooo awkward and clunky.
