Your first name at least...

Sharon here.

Bet you can't guess mine! One of the most common names of all time. I can't even tell you how many I have met with my same first name. Even my best friend :)

All kidding aside, I prefer having first names and local info in sigs too. Thanks for bringing it up Frank.

I see nothing wrong with that Frank. Good point.

I don't need to know someone's city really but state and zone is nice to know. I recently looked up the latitude of my location and added it to my signature. Zone tells a lot but lat makes a big difference too.

It's all about plants and us people that grow them right?

Never saw a reason to not put my first name out there. 

Mine is Norhayati. A girl's name for a lady. It means the light of life hehehe.

Norhayati

Norhayati, I like the meaning of your name!

My name is Timothy if it's not obvious.  Creativity was lacking when I made my screenname.

My name was changed to Joe by well meaning nuns in Grade 1. 
My family still calls me Pino most of the time.  When I visit Italy they call me Pino except the customs officers who look at me funny because my passport doesn't match my other ID.


I prefer to go by Mike......but people that know me are usually more colorful when addressing me. Too colorful to mention on this forum.

David. Its Hebrew meaning beloved one.

Thanks, to everyone with the kind comments....I will now kindly  get off my soapbox...:)

Is that suppose to be funny?

I thought so.  It's a continuation of the theme from the first 3 replies, and I know there are at least 2-3 other Jameses on the board, so if they check in then we Jameses can rally and match the number of Franks.

As for first names versus handles, I prefer handles.  As I noted, there are several other Jameses here, but I'm the only GreenFin.  I much prefer that people just call me by GreenFin here, since it guarantees that I'll know you're talking to me.  Furthermore, I know everyone else by their handles, and there are lots of multiples of many other peoples' first names here, so it's easier for me to know who's being talked about when they're addressed by their handle rather than by their first name.  I would prefer using first names when conversing in 'real life', but it's just easier and more precise to use handles when dealing with a huge group of people that I only know online as opposed to in 'real life'.

I respect that "GreenFin" ....But, I prefer if I am sending you an Email or a private message to at least know your first name, just seems more appropriate to me....We can still call each other by their handle but at least put their First Name on their Signature ....:)

Agreed :)

Charles, but only my mom calls me that when she's mad.  Charlie, Chuck, Chuckster, Chas, Bud, Bubba, Buddy, Dude, Papa, Dad.  I have been called all of these in the last week so take your pick.

I don't hide out from anybody.  My pickup's license plant is the same as my user ID.

There's been many responses but it seems it would be good to clarify and suggest that folks add their first name and whatever to their signature line.

I'm an open book Frank.

Aaron in hebrew meaning STRENGTH or the Chosen one.  You pick and chose. :)

I m with You Frank, great topic and realy realy funny stuff from all ! Oh yeah, Christos is the the full first name K.................... Is a whole other story! Greek long and a a great conversation starter of a last name(thanks Dad)! So Chris K to all friends ,soccer buds ,coworkers, neibours and all people I love and respect, to keep things simple! ;)

Hi Frank
My first name is James (Jim to some), but everyone calls me Coop

Hi Frank
I couldn't agree more.
Vito

Frank,

   Let me be frank with you: I'm Dale. Anyone who passes through Mansfield, Ohio is in for a treat, especially fans of The Twilight Zone.

When we (Northeasterners) were preparing to go to Bass' fig Gathering this past Summer, a member I did not know offered to carpool, since they lived in upstate NY.
I was bringing a friend with me, plus lots of plants, so I declined the offer.
Fast-forward to the gathering:
I'm doing the meet'n and greet'n, and I get to talking with a lovely woman. When she tells me her name, my heart sinks, and I hear myself mutter the most embarrassed admission to her.

"CJ, I thought you were a boy..."

She got a good chuckle out of that...

I can faintly remember someone having another "oops" moment with a member on the forum, because their sig was not clear.

With that said, I'm Rui (rhymes with Louie) and I'm a boy :)

Frank(s) - As per my signature, I'm Kelby in Southeastern PA. Reading to more more precise.

If there's another Kelby the forum I'll be impressed...haven't met one yet.

Hi everyone! I'm Mariusz from Poland, I think that nobody on this forum don't have same name as mine. ;)

Good one Mariusz.  I think you are right.
