By old-timey names, I mean ones that you don’t typically associate with anyone alive or younger than like 70.
Examples being:
- Burl
- Mildred
- Herbert
- Agnes
- Evelyn (not as rare at the others, but getting there)
I’ve always liked the name “Opal” but I’ve only ever known two in my life. I was like 10-12 at the time, and they were both pushing 90.
I want people to go by their first two initials, and then the entire last name. Y’know, “H. G. Wells, J.G. Wentworth”.
It just makes everyone sound more fancy and serious.
My boss does that, and for that reason. I do like it. Unfortunately, he cannot help me get cash now from my structured settlement.
Funny. I had a boss who thought that use of initials was pretentious. Or maybe I’m putting words in his mouth and it was specifically my use of a middle initial he didn’t like. Harry S Truman’s name would presumably have given him a headache.
Either way, I countered that having a customised number plate on a car was surely just as bad, to which he had no answer.
Hairy Ass Truman
I have 2 first names and I prefer to go by their initials. I’m so used to it that I sometimes don’t notice when someone calls me by my actual first name.
I’m imagining that your first name is something like Vijay and your middle initial is J, and so no wonder you wouldn’t notice.
I’m about to heavily doxx myself so please be cool, but I go by B.E. Moore professionally on account of the fact that those are my initials and last name
Does the B stand for Bizzle?
Yeah, it’s Bizzle Erasmus
