I just got this idea for a thread from the second page of the Saddam Hussein Captured page... We all actually have names! like, actual ones! so we could write them down, eh? and then they would be written. So I was thinking that maybe everyone could say their name, and maybe a little back story on why they were named that and what crazy and groovy events led up to their naming!

I'll kick it off:

Me name's Ben Karon. My mom wanted to name me Sal but my dad was like, "No." some other names they tried were (I am not kidding) Cecil, Cyril, Irah, and Harvey. (thank god they settled on 'Ben'!)

Ben means 'beloved of the gods' which is just plain wrong, because if there is a god he/she is prolly real pissed at me for not believing in him all this time!

Oh, and yeah. This is how my name would look if you were to write it in supa-crappy MS paint.
