Jonathan Kemerer, but I prefer to go by Jon.
It's funny, back when my brother and I owned a restaurant, we (I, since I was the head cashier) had to ask people's first names because 1. it was a more friendly way of associating people to their orders when they were finished, 2. so we (I) remembered people (funny, people actually like being remembered) and 3. because that's how the franchsise system was set up, and we if we didn't we'd be in trouble.
You'd be surprised, or not, at how many people refused to give their FIRST name. All hell broke loose when on the occasion I had to ask their last initial because someone by their same first name also had an order being made. You'd think I was asking for their social security number or their credit card no.#
"Why do you have to know that?"
"I'm not saying, you don't need to know that!"
"I'm checking with my congressmen to see if that's legal!"
I'll never forget this one guy that refused to give his name out,... we finally agreed on one, so I put "Mr. Wonderful" on the ticket, hey the customer is always right. When his order was ready, my brother called his name over the loudspeaker "Order up for Mr. Wonderful!". Funnily enough, Mr. Wonderful was a regular customer of ours.

hate it, I goddamn hate it. Sometimes I forget it though, I'm more accustomed to my draconic name...........maybe I'll change my name so I don't keep almost accidentally writing Silver on everything..........

Nobody really calls me Tim anymore, so I don't care about getting it changed.

What's up with everyone's "not giving out my name" THEN WHY THE HELL DID YOU POST HERE!? Clam up and go flood another forum with that bullshit....if you aren't gonna tell people your name in a forum that demands it in the rules, it's spam. Your post would be deleted and you'd be warned if I were an Administrator...you aren't that special, and certainly not even remotely that interesting -.-"

Yup same as Yerf. Though you might have a hard time visiting Yerf, (I hope) by now they pulled life support.
You've been on Yerf for that long huh? I started browsing in 1996, and joined in 97, did you frequent the newsgroups there?, before the crappy forums took over?

Gavin. I was named after a rugby player.
Mary Elizabeth Smith <- Super common name. Almost as common as my maiden name of Davis. I used to have to remind myself to not sign my checks Alexandra Vega when I worked. It got annoying to explain why you crossed that out to sign your given name. Curse my parents in calling me Xandra after they found out it was my "persona".

Ronald, named after Ronald Reagan. D: How horrible. Anything further, I'd have to know you in person. Sorry.

Enough people call me by my surname that it suffices. And yes, I'm one'a those paranoid-about-their-first-name people, 'cause to my endless consternation it is [as far as I and everyone I've ever MET] unique as a legal name. *grumbles about weird-ass spelling*
