What's your real name?

My name is Anthony

confetti Ann Jones Kozicki. That is my full name. And I simply HATE the "Ann", it sounds so wimpy. Is this the first survey to have been rated 100%?

I am not stupid enough to place my real name on the net......
Sorry I have one, but you don't need to know it.

Amanda Bogardus

Jennifer and I am only telling you because it has been said in a previous survey.

Thomas McCarthy

Maarten Marinus Bert Vos

'Kristal Rose Phoenix McKinstry' since 1996 officially, (`93 before that).
I chose the last namo to match my mom's who is using her maiden name. I was born 'Thor André Clemens'.

and I thought '7 of 9' was a name. Do people ever mispell that last name of yours?

So what do you have to lose? You know my name. What'ya going to do about it. the CIA, terrorists, stalkers, or space aliens could read my name here. So what? I'll give out anything but my ssn#, bank #'s, drivers license, passwords, or info about others they would insist on keeping private.

YHVH

YMMV

If I reveal my name, I'll instantly be attacked by balding middle-aged priests posing as dogs on the Internet because they're really pedophiles who want to serial rape me. I'm in the phonebook though, that's different.

Wicksy

You are a comedian today.

Theodore Jay Miller

My real name is freely available on the net, but I prefer not to reveal it here as this is a forum in which I can participate as an avatar rather than the real me. Having said that, the avatar known as "msgman" shares my real opinions and beliefs, so it's not that much of a facade.

I could always offer a prize for the first person to successfully "unmask" me

Maria-Hildägard... pretty interesting. Hildägard is unique, and no one else has that name (at least I hope so). My parents made it up.

Leopold Anna-Maria Schneider... I'm girl by the way, I just unfortunately have guys name.

Post your whole name.

John

I have no name.

Justina Katherine Kiehart. Lovely to make your acquaintance.

no. why do you want to know it? I mean, you already know it, why do you want me to post it?

That's YHWH, dear...

(that was meant for you)

Well just call you Joda for short.
I spell vav with a 'v'. you can spell it with an 's' for all I care.

When I marry my SO, my initials will be my name AMY.

Define "reality"......

i have heard the name hildagard before. do you mean the maria-hildagard is unique?

I think she means Hildägard with an ä is unique.

William Henry Marrs Jr.

Actually it is unique. There is name Hildegard, and also Hildegarde, but no one else has this one (at least I hope so).

It's not nearly as good as any of my nicknames. I got a new one!

Excuse Me, but in my profession that info. is not released to you.
Thank you very much. Also, my comment submitted did not require a reply.

fine 007.
you didn't need to respond to this survey either

::blushing:: You called me dear!
No way! Are you talking about 'Yahweh'? I was referring to that one thing that the King James Bible translated as 'Jehovah', and is supposed to be substituted with 'Adonai' when speaking aloud 'cause it's so sacred. Those silly...
::just then, lightning strikes and Micah falls silent::

i'll give you a hint: it's not merv griffin.

Habib.

I can't tell if you're kidding or not (not about the lightning striking, but about the Yahweh/Jehovah thing)! Yahweh = Jehovah. You want the full explanation?

...uh...Star Trek, right?

Could you? I like reading your posts :)

It's not really that much of an explanation, I guess. I was just giving micah crap for using a "v" instead of a "w." Jehovah is the German pronunciation of the divine name spelled "yhwh" in the Bible. A "w" is more accurate than a "v" because it was pronounced (at least we think it was!) like a "w" in ancient Israel, although in Modern Hebrew it is pronounced as a "v" (and the letter is called "vav" now). The actual pronunciation of the consonants "yhwh" in ancient Israel is unknown. Apparently people stopped saying it at a fairly early date, before the current system of vowel notation was introduced into the written language (originally Hebrew was only written with consonants, hence the lack of vowels in "yhwh"; modern Hebrew tends not to use vowels in writing either). The tradition of substituting the word "Adonai" ("my lord") where the biblical text, or prayers, or whatever, had "yhwh" took over instead. In all extant manuscripts of the Bible which contain vowels (so not the Dead Sea Scrolls), the consonants "yhwh" are vocalized (i.e. contain the vowels) for the word "Adonai," so that you know to read Adonai.
So now you might ask, "Well then, why do people say 'Jehovah' or 'Yahweh' if they don't know what the vowels really were?" Those pronunciations are scholarly conventions, based on some reasonable guess-work as to what the vowels might really have been. After all, it's a lot easier to say "Yahweh" or "Jehovah" than to say "yod-heh-vav-he." And you might not want to say "Adonai" because that's not what the text says. But the truth is that no one knows how it was really pronounced; most academics just can't leave well enough alone and have to try to figure it out!

that dirty bastard.
Here is a short narrative I have used before:
that dirty bastard. Las Vegas, NV. You now have enough information to find out my Address. You could come to my house...And in the darkest hour of the night, you could burst into my home and slit my neck while I lay sleeping. In all likelyhood... I would not even have a chance to awaken.
Then again... you could be "Jessica". You could find my address, and come to my door... tell me that you have always loved me... that you wish for nothing more, than to spend the rest of your life with me.
But I know that neither of these will happen, Because I have given you no reason to kill me... nor to love me.

Thank you!

My pleasure!

Uh, yes. (Voyager). On my screen that's a response to 'fine 007.'. Most of peoples comments have been coming lately in such a synergistic fashion for me. It's something I wished upon others here that could use a wake up nudge.

Since when have people ever needed a reason to do those things?

I was thinking about those things when standing at a native american gift shop looking at some white buffalo head like thing high on the back wall while listening to some native american chanting on their stereo that went 'yoa(dh) hey - va(dh) hey, ya he - va hey, ya he - va hey...' I was flooded with the 'great white spirit' during this.

Richard Wyndham

I love it when you do that...
Honestly though, I didn't know all that much about any of what you said. It was all meant to be funny. You ruined it! Any more of that from you, miss, and I'm gonna unleash my godly powers in your direction. Watch it! I'll Yod hey whatever ey you into oblivion!

Kirsty Joy

Well, I knew you were being funny, but I wasn't sure if you also knew that Yahweh and Jehovah are the same thing, is all...
Somtimes my urge to expound just interferes with my sense of humor...

I used a 'V' because in all the books I've read, I've always seen it in that form, and have never seen it in the YHWH form. I've always pronounced it in the long form also (Yod he vav he) so it's pretty stuck in my head that that's it.

Well, I'll just have to get you some books that spell it right!

Kathleen Ann McFadden

Tammi!

that's the way they used to write it in Dr. Strange, too.

aaaaaaahhhhh

Dr. Strange? I've been in this cave across the way my whole life. We didn't get those nice things that you people got like Dr. Strange, string cheese and ear muffs. What is this....Dr. Strange?

That'll make me feel even worse about that whole christmas thing. I'll feel so bad if you do that!
...speaking of which, I'm making you an interesting CD for your listening pleasure. It'll give you an idea of the kinds of music I listen to. It ranges from classical to death metal and I'm arranging it so one merges into the other without you realizing it. You'll hear Vivaldi for a while, then the cookie monster voice will come in out of nowhere.

You know Kristal, I was just mentioning in a long-winded post how insightfull you are. None-the-less, I still think that in at least most cases, they have got a reason. No one says it has to be a good one though...

Deanna

LOL

Woah- bite Kristal Rose's head off.
Lighten up.

Hey, my comment was just as valid as anyones. Most people in there right minds do not list their name on the internet. Didn't mean to bite her head off but my original remark didn't deserve her reply.

Why don't you post a survey - "what is my real name?"

Ear Muffs... those would probably really help since I've cut my hair.

Dr. Strange

there's nothing like a good serious web page to make you realize how ridiculous something you like is.

I'm getting around to putting something similar together too. maybe we can burn a copy for each other.

I bow down before thee.

Hey! > You're supposed to bow down before me!

This polytheistic lifestyle sure is demanding!
Just remember that you are my one true love, and get priority over all others.
Does that please you?

*pouting*
Maybe...

better get rid of all those graven idols or you're gonna be in trouble

Denise Ann

anne smith...can this get anymore dull?

Like Queen Anne and one who makes things. A tender name yet instigating change.

Rodney

Idols? Oh, you mean the...dolls?

Are you going to include the cookie monter's hit abaut Mana? I've been working up to compile similar CD's off my vinyl too. Maybe we can trade.

Teresa

*waves*

lol "C is for cookie, it's good enough for me..."

Try using that reply thingy. Glad you got it.

*waves*

Who wants to know? Why? How much is it worth to you?

Oh alright, its Harry Balzanya

Ever shave them?

One of the drummers I auditioned was named Mike Hunt. I was expecting him to be a bitter person, considering what he must have gone through as a child, but he was really nice, and even make fun of his own name.

I used to work for a department store credit card company, taking applications over the phone for store associates. I ran into a lot of weird names, but the one that sticks in my mind the most was Asian: The Ho.

He didn't happen to live in Idaho, did he?

... Nope, NYC.

it's Emmie-Dawn... isn't that quaint?

That's very kewl!

Elijah Johnatan Evens

Carissa (a little obvious) Rene' Lastname. I love my name.
