I think my spelling isn't actually right, but that's my name, and it's better than that silly Geoff spelling. In the first year of uni, I met this very worrying girl, who after finding out my name, went on to tell me that her and her friend (no, don't start getting ideas guys) had some wierdo long running thing about jeffs/geoffs, and that she always argued the J way was better. A lot of wierd people at uni | ? posted by scary_jeff |

| It's not something that keeps me awake at night, I just prefer it if people don't spell my name wrong. Don't know why |

derivatives range from benign as in redenbacher to cruel as in peckerbobber

my grandsons name is "Devon Scott-Lee Rickenbacker" and my grand daughters is "Jayla Alexis Holder Rickenbacker"
my son, who helped name them, has no conscience at all :/

| yer what happens in that situation? Does the surname come from someone in particular or do the parents choose? |
the child is usually named after the father, unless someone intervenes.
we, my wife and i opted for rickenbacker. the parents concured.

| My dad went to a school reunion, he saw this guy who was a great runner at his school, and went over to him and said 'you are jeff smith (dunno if it was smith, doesnt matter), aren't you?'. The guy said no, John smith. Dad asked him if he was the running guy, and he said yes. He then went over to one of his old teachers, pointed at john and said 'see that guy over there', the teacher said 'yeah, that's jeff smith', dad replied with 'no, he's called john'. Oh, said the teacher. I'm called jeff because 'jeff smith' was Dad's hero or something at school. And no, I'm not an amazing runner. |
