MarkLB Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 As you've pointed out, I have a very common name. Its not only in the fish world that I get overlaps. I once worked at a small firm that only had three people working in it...all of us were Marks. :lol: :lol: Mark I, Mark II and Mark IIV.

cichlid7 Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Tim is also a very common name one year at school in my class there were 25 of us with 11 males and 8 of them were Tim (I'm not Tim luckily) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I have never gone to school with anyone with my name. Hated my name as a kid, and hated the first day of school when you had to stand up and say your name :evil: Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been numbering them too :lol: I have never met another Caryl but I know there is at least one in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 ive been in contact with a few fish people out side of the worms and it has occrd to me that some names are really common Good. I can't stand these "new" names (that are really just mis-spellings of old names), its like parents are having a secret contest to give their child the most stupid name possible. My mum works in education [won't saw where ] and I helped her sort out a big box of name tags from kids that had visited her work. I ended up with three equal piles; boy, girl, and unknown!

Freakyfish Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Sometimes I agree with a different spelling My GF little brother is a Jaydn Simply becasue mum and dad couldnt agree whether it should be Jayden or Jaydin So split the middle and make it Jaydn Did you advise people Mark that there was Mark 1, 2 and 3 lol And they should know what number each one is Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLB Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Did you advise people Mark that there was Mark 1, 2 and 3 lol And they should know what number each one is Yeah, we did. Most of the customers learned that the owner was Mark I, I was Mark II because I'd been there the longest and the new guy was Mark III. I've since bought the company so I'm now Mark I :lol: which is no big feat because I'm the only Mark there now :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
