    What's in a name? (Contest)

    Well I was kind of bored and wanted to get away from the liquid cooling section for a brief moment. I would like to meet more people on this forum and thought maybe an icebreaker was a way to do it. Hence we have... Name Contest

    Okay so here's the rules.

    1. You post your real life name (first, last, doesn't matter, whichever is cooler), and the you post a ranking between 1 being the worst and 10 being the bestof the person who posted above you.

    2. Don't diss people if they have a stupid name.

    3. The winner gets the satisfaction of knowing he has the kewlest name in all of XS.

    Okay, so now that the rules are set, I will start first....

    To prevent myself from automatically winning the contest I will censor out my true first name from birth, and just use what people actually call me.

    Lucas

    So now the next person will rate my name and tell his/her name.

    It's been a man's name for longer than people have used it for girls

    It's Scottish. It means "one with crooked nose". And no, I don't have a crooked nose

    I don't see very many Austins, so I'll give you a 6.

    I'm not sure which one to put, because they would do pretty well. I'll just put all three:
    1. Nick name: Tad
    2. Real name: Lloyd
    3. Last name: Timberlake

    P.S. I'm not kidding about my last name.

    Don't see many Lloyd around that gets a 5, as for Timberlake that gets a 3 since people must always ask you if your related to Justin Timberlake all the time lol.

    I could be a ...but I prefer Warren. Kids named Warren do not have a happy social life in Grade School 40 years ago...everyone was named Steve or Paul or Bill

    And I say about a 5 for Lloyd. 4 for Timberlake and 3 for Tad... no reason for those ratings...

    yea except when every teacher you have butchers the hell out of your name. One teacher just called me W. Although I rather have them butcher my name than be stuck with a name like D I C K. I can't remember where I saw it but some guys last name was Glassc-o-c-k...worst name ever! (god damn bananas)

    How do you butcher a name like yours? After you tell them how to pronounce it, it should be easy.
    Not as easy as Robert Kubica, for example, but still easy.
