What about Plato or Socrates? I think that is quite interesting and a good idea. Socrates isn't a bad name, unconvential yes, bad no.


My uncle's name is Socrates. He's also pretty freaking brilliant.

I am one of those few people whose parents chose to call him by his middle name while he was growing up.

My first name is Peter and my middle name is Carlos. The only people who ever called me Peter were teachers who saw my entire name written out on a class list.

Frag., I would never EVER have picked you for a Bryan.

My new user name is pretty self-explanatory.

I went to primary school with a kid named Frodo. None of us had the faintest clue about its origins.

Well, I didn't get to pick my name and either way, I don't really like it.

Me too: Donald Andrew. Go by Andrew. Can't stand Donald (sorry for all the Don's out there). Call me Donald and it's likely I won't even notice (just ask my teachers).

I fell in love with the first cute girl that I met.
