From the UK I viewed the USA as modern and progressive so when I got here one of the shocks were how many "old-fashioned" practices there were in every day life. naming your oldest son after his father was one.

I was not named after an actress -allegedly- but everyone thought I was because the name was fairly unusual at the time except for this actress.

Grav: Philip or Rumplestiltskin

I'd take Luciano.

At least that shortens to 'Al'. Al's not bad.

No winnahs. However, 'Philip' I use occasionally (kinda). Remember when you used to have give your life story to download that trendy piece of free software? I used fake names and addresses for all those. 'Phil Magroin' was one of them. 'Phil McCracken' was another.

Rumpelstiltskin? Too grimm.

:D

Something that has no good short version, then....

Um....

Homer?

What's the last letter?

Can we call you Al?

z.


or t if you happen to see it coming and have time to yell.

hahahahahahaa~!

Only if I can call you Betty.;)

I don't get it. But, the last letter is T.

I feel like Ima regret this.:rolleyes:
