What's in a name?

Cop Killer

For the longest time the only association people ever made between my name and anything was: "Hey, his name sounds like the word 'cunt' let's call him that for the next five or so years." Then I got a belt buckle with my name on it, so people generally refer to me by my given name now. Nowadays it seems the only thing people think of when they hear my name is "Do you smoke the cigarretes of the same name?" which, of course, I do.

Cop Killer - Marlborough Lights doesn't rhyme with cunt, nor does B&H.

Curiosity has got the better of me.

Cop Killer is named Hunter and it suits him.

If I was a girl I was going to be christened Elizabeth Mary. Seriously. Does that get me in?

My name is Jorge (NOT George). Pronounced sort of like "Whore-hey" only not-so-much "hey." Since my university is about 40% Asian and 30 something % Caucasian, the name is the source of much confusion. Hilarity always ensues. Sometimes if I'm feeling especially evil I pronounce my name with a heavy Spanish/Arabic-like accent, with a nasal-ly rolled R. I despise being called George or Gorge or Jorgay. My name comes from Greek, it means farmer and it probably exists everywhere. In Catalan class I became Jordi. Now, my surname... ouch... it is the lamest super-hero ever. High school trauma.

It's a plane!
It's a man!
It's a BIRD!!!

It's Gooseman! (Guzman)

Wow, how insightful of me. I didnt get it from ur email address. *cough-cough*

And King S- The Gooseman has always been a personal favourite of mine, as far as superheros named after evil birds are concerned. And because of the evil nature of geese, I gotta say i think u may make a better supervillian. xx

[threadrot] Kent cigarettes are delicious. I remember when they came in soft packs and were the coolest cigs around. Alas no more. I also remember hearing that the Marlboro Man smoked Kents, err, that is until he died of cancer. [/threadrot]

If I was a girl I was going to be named Monica, which kind of rhymes with my surname and would've been godawful, but thankfully nature spared me that fate. And no Elizabeth Marys in my family, though my mother was named after Monty Burns's favourite actress ...
