According to my baptismal certificate, my name is Richard. Not that this surprises me, but my brother, whom everyone called Tom, was shocked to discover, when he looked at his birth certificate to apply for his drivers' license, that his first name was Bruce.

It amused me to learn that Richard is an old english word for tyrant, or harsh ruler.

More likely, it means brave/hard leader with reference to strength rather than brutality and it's Germanic, not English.

My name is Andrew. I won't add a picture because I don't have any!

Don't EVER call me Raphael. I hate it when people do that. My name's Raf. Officially. It's even in my underpa... ahh, no. Got no name in there. Anyways, I don't like being called Raphael. Either use Raf, Kon, Tiki, Kon-Tiki, Rafbo, Straffe or a new nickname, but not Raphael. I don't respond to that one, anyways.

Great!

We've got 51 real names and 10 photos so far. Keep 'em coming!

@Anubis - I asumed you'd say something like that, that's why I didn't post it (I'm guessing the one you sent with your e-mail was your real name).
