My name is Cuthbert Cyril Moosebender-Smythe (known as Rupert amongst my chums), and I'm a complete and utter fool, don't yer know!
Why? Perhaps it's something to do with nanny dropping 'yours truly' on the head at an early age. Never been what you would call 'OK Yar' since then. Reason for the name. Well, Mummy and Daddy just liked the ring of pomposity about the names.A matter of 'Port out and Starboard Home, if you know what I mean!
Anyway, 'tally ho', and 'pip pip', I'm orf to inspect the croquet lawns.
Thet reminds me, must go to Knightsbridge for some decent plonk tomorrow. Cheerio chaps!

My name is Shannina (although I've shortened it to Shan), my father was working nightshift and was reading a book about a Russian Woman with that name who was escaping her violent husband (kinda ironic given my dad is/was a wife beater!!),my Mum was heavily pregnant at the time and he insisted on calling me that (if she'd have had her way it would've been Faye after Faye Dunaway the actress,or Donna!!) luckily he got his way as I prefer that outta the 3 options.

Brigid- thats the Irish way of spelling it and I have to spell it for people every time because they always write it as Bridget! Shes the second patron saint of Ireland (after Patrick) and her feast day is the beginning of Spring in Ireland (1st February) Thats one reason why I was named that (my brothers have saints names too) the other reason is my dads favourite aunt was called Brigid.

Chery, After 4 children my mother could not think of any more names so the ladies in the hospital ward put names in a box and presto my name was pulled. This this the trueth.

I am known by three names:
Tiger: because I am a party animal
Dave: because my friends made it up for me
Hou Boun: because my parents wanted me to be able to live in a country that will flourish and prosper.
And I feel like I am giving away too much info here.

Nicola, because it's one of the few names that you can't really take the mick out of.
But I found that you can hehe.
Edit:
If I was a boy, I would be called Micheal, which is Micky, and I'm Nikaay. So there you go lol.
