[...] That’s why WFME likes to periodically give you the choice of the decade, except that since I’ve given you this choice five other times before today over the course of two years means that WFME is technically giving you “five choices each decade” to make an important decision that will never affect your future yet prepare you for obscure events that may, potentially happen to you. Then again, since this is the sixth time, you’re gettin “six choices each decade” which is more choice then the government actually gives you over the course of four years. [...]

[...] Previously, WFME has asked you if you prefer Jon or John, affection or inflection, Pepto or Necco and “Bless You” or “Cough-it-easy”. In doing so, the WFME readers came together collectively to decide and came to a conclusion that both helped each person on an individual level and together as a group. [...]

At last! An explanation for my malcontent-ness! Score! Thanks Pauly. The first step is always understanding. I can now work on bettering myself from bening one with the ranks of the malcontent. lol

I feel the same way about Jon as I do about Sean, which should be pronounced Sheen, as in Charlie, in my opinion. They are soap opera names. I prefer a good old fashioned, boring, father’s father’s father’s name like John or Shawn, with silent consonants.

Hey Kristine-I resent your comment. My mom simply liked Christmas and chose my name because it reminded her of the holiday.

Annabel’s comment cracked me up…and please, people, for the sake of all teachers out there who have to struggle every year with a new group of oddly named children – have pity! My name’s gone out of style, but at least I can imagine someone named Linda at 87 years old, but I cannot imagine a 87-year-old Tiffany. Or Tiffani. Or Tifani.

My name is continually misspelt thanks to a certain Barret Oliver movie. I’m all for spelling reform and getting rid of useless silent letters in monosyllabic words. And my nickname is Duckie and I don’t have an iPod either.

In order to get Dick from Richard, you might consider buying him dinner first.

On a somewhat related note, Wil Wheaton is a pretty cool guy, but I wish his name was different, because sometimes (being that I am a blogger named “Will”) people in the world of blogging spell MY name “Wil” just as Wil Wheaton does, and that’s really not fair, because “Wil Wheaton” is really just a stage name of sorts. His real name (according to IMDb) is Richard William Wheaton III. My FIRST name really is William. I think the confusion is unwarranted.
