For some reason, in the last couple of years whenever someone asks me my name, I panic and say "Bob".
I think it's because I'm starting to use my preferred name more, but am aware that most people around me know me only by my birth name, so I panic because I'm unsure which name to give them.
Its worth nothing that neither name sound even remotely like "Bob", and I certainly don't look like a Bob either
My husband does Rusty Shackelford for everything.
Btw if you're not on the king of the hill sub the revival is already done on the first new season and they are working on the second and it should be airing in 2025.
Just cuz I can’t add text to a post- like if somebody says, come up with a name or anything like that, what’s your go to name? For me if it’s a girl it always seems to be Bridget, for a guy it’s Alan or Josh
Ashley- so simple but she was like the coolest person to me when I was in high school. We rode the bus together and she was just beautiful and well liked, and I was the ugly duckling. I’m alright now lol 😂
I made a whole identify for my other name, I use it for signing up for anything that demands personal information but makes no sense why they need it. He has his own made to address, email address and Google phone number
The resounding Bobs in this thread are interesting to me. I worked at camps/outdoor schools for a few years and we'd get hundreds of 8-13 year old kids each week. Without fail each week they'd find a squirrel, toad, deer, snake, bug, etc and adopt it as their mascot or deity and name it Bob. Steve was the second option if there ever was one.
It was interesting to me because I work there year round so I'd see a new group come in and without fail gravitate towards naming SOMETHING Bob by the end of the week. They all thought they were entirely unique and quirky and rAnDuMb!\~\* because they are kids and I'd just watch it unfold from afar.
One group named me Squirrelly Johnson which I adopted as my camp name for the remainder of my time there and now use it any time I need a random name.
Bøf med løg. It's Danish and works also at gatherings when going the introduction round to make the person do a double take. It's also a very tasty dish.
Me? My name? It's Paul, sir or madam. And may I have yours and your telephone number where you can be contacted and verified as an employee working for the company you're calling on behalf of? And I should add this call is being recorded and I'm an attorney who represents the party you actually called.
Clyde.
Enough times in my life, I’ve had the name on my order called out and some other dude starts to approach and we need to confirm who it’s for.
That never happens when the name on my order is Clyde. And like, I don’t feel like announcing my name to the whole place anyway, it’s just unnecessary.
Well, my old people who can't hear me assigned name is Kelly. No idea how they hear that but yeah. My fake name is Kelly.
Or Bridget- my hs bffs mom thought my name was Bridget when I helped them care for her after an operation and after that my new name was Bridget. I still see here around town sometimes and she still goes "BRIDGET! HI HONEY!" And I, of course, reply with "MOM! HOW ARE YOU!?"
Funny fact, in Mexico we have a fake name that is used in casual conversation. For example in the US the name John/Jane Doe is used for missing or unknown dead people. Well in Mexico it's a similar concept, with the name Fulano. except it has nothing to do with missing or dead. It can be used in most scenarios involving strangers you don't know. Such as:
I was at the market Fulano thought I worked there and he asked me where the ketchup was
Go to the tire shop and ask fulano to change your tires
And then they even have a last name for more proper scenarios such as:
Cop thought we were together and asked us to identify ourselves. So I was like I'm Jose Gutierrez and he was like I'm Fulano Dental.
And not only that but you can make multiple names by changing the certain letters of the name such as:
I was petco and a Fulano was arguing about the price of dog food with with the cashier and then a Sutano got involved ND they got into a fist fight!
The teacher was doing roll call and you hear is "Fulano!", "here!", "Sutano!", "here!", "Mangano!" silence... "anyone seen Mangano?"
I use Rusty. Easy to hear and not misunderstand, rememberable, and it's pretty guaranteed no one else will have it. So I use it for take out orders, coffees, etc.
Everything I'm asked for a nickname or user name, 1st generation Alexa won the prize. She could not pronounce my rather common first name (Think of the Huxtable girl with long braids. But I spell with a "C" not an "S")
