Please tell me your name is tungsten or cobalt! or rubidium or krypton...I would love an element as my surname! I mostly get called Toblerone because people can't pronounce my surname

Nah, I'd wish it was Cobalt or Krypton. Certainly not Rubidium or Tungsten.

It's a more common one, but I pretty much got used to it to the point that I introduce myself with it. But since I got to uni, I got people to call me by my name.

My name is Usama... and I cant pronounce my last name properly because of a speech impedement so it comes out sometimes as Baloni

What I do is when I tell people my name I know with too many people they make the link, I make a joke myself and after that they cant say too much

That is quite a speech impediment you have there if you can make those two words sound the same

Copper? Gold? Silver? Iron? Lead?

I really want to know!

My own name is traditional, nothing wacky. I don't like my middle name at all, I'd like to add another one in, but I think I'd hurt my parents if I did that. I'll just live with it. At least it's only a middle name

Screw what your parents think, it's not like you're changing your surname to deny you're their daughter or something

It makes me look as though I'm playing a joke every time I say my name...

Would be better if you were ginger.

My first name is Ella-Bella. It's a painful moment when people see my passport, or college ID.

[KCLeblanc]

My name is Ned, apparently it's Glaswegian for Chav. Since I live in Gloucestershire this doesn't present many issues.

Rose, I know you must get quite a bit of stick for your name, but you can at least get some comfort from the fact that you've made me crack a genuine smile for the first time today Thank you.
