I work at a gas station and see a lot of ID’s, which means I see a lot of names. Some that have caught my eyes lately:
[name]Shay[/name]
[name]Dion[/name]
[name]Quill[/name] (it was a name on his workers shirt, so it may have been a NN)
[name]Dominique[/name] (he goes by [name]Dom[/name], though)
What you girls think of them?
bahaha, I work at a Taco [name]Bell[/name] until I can get a better job (recently graduated from college), and I do the exact same thing! We’re required to check IDs all the time if cards aren’t signed and such, so I see dozens of names each day (most, sadly, are Seans and Davids and Johns… all lovely names, but not very interesting when you see them a million times a day!). I really like [name]Shay[/name], [name]Quill[/name] (like [name]Quillan[/name] more, though), and [name]Dom[/name] (prefer [name]Dominic[/name] to [name]Dominique[/name]). I didn’t really come across anything that interesting today, but a couple days ago, I came across:
[name]Leo[/name]
Abimliech (ah-BIM-lee-eck… I thought maybe it was supposed to be Abimelech, or something, but he said Abimliech, with that pronunciation, was correct. It just seems downright bizarre! lol)
[name]Beau[/name] (totally unrelated to his name at all–the name on his ID was [name]Milton[/name] something or other. But he went by [name]Beau[/name]. I thought it was refreshing–much more refreshing than [name]Milton[/name], at least!)
[name]Donovan[/name] (cutest little boy ever!)
[name]Clark[/name]
[name]Glover[/name] (I figured it would be GLOVE-er not GLUV-er… hmm.)
[name]Porter[/name]
[name]Leon[/name]
[name]Ryland[/name]
[name]Wilson[/name] (met two in one day! Definitely a FN, too, not a last name, which a lot of people try to give when I have to ask for a name at work)
[name]Ferdinand[/name] (nn [name]Fred[/name]. [name]Fred[/name] just ruined [name]Ferdinand[/name]'s charm for me, but [name]Ferdinand[/name] nn [name]Freddie[/name] would have been too cute! I don’t know why I love [name]Freddie[/name] but not [name]Fred[/name], haha)
[name]Dane[/name]
[name]Hugo[/name]
[name]Hans[/name]-[name]Juergen[/name] (straight from Germany… I thought it was so cool, haha)
[name]Rory[/name] (bahaha, he was the funniest! I asked for his name, and he was like, “[name]Rory[/name]. Yup, I bet you weren’t expecting that…” I was like, “I actually really love it…” I think he was shell-shocked that I’d actually heard of [name]Rory[/name] on a boy before, lol.)
If [name]Quillan[/name] was pronounced like “kwill-an” instead of “kill-an” then I would like it. Which is weird because I love [name]Cillian[/name] (kill-E-an). [name]Quill[/name] just really struck me for some reason. I’ve never seen [name]Shay[/name] on a boy before. I really liked it.
I love [name]Leo[/name] and [name]Leon[/name]!! And [name]Rory[/name]. So much better on a boy than girl.
I also have a lot of customers from other countries. Mostly South [name]America[/name], [name]Africa[/name] and Bosnia. I cant pronounce most of them!
