There seem to be a dearth of them, so I thought I would find out just how many.

Well so far the "others" are leading by a mile- all 2 of us! :P
This will be an interesting poll all the same, look forward to seeing how it comes out.

Funny, I always thought "Trevor" was not a common name but my boss's name is also Trevor. The first meeting I attended after starting the job a few years ago was with one other person, Trevor, from ColesMyer. It took me ages to remember the names of everyone at the meeting:). When we used to be in a building in Richmond a couple of years ago, there was another Trevor on the same floor. Three of us on the same floor of about 40 people! My wife thought it was SOOOO funny when there was an ad on TV a couple of years ago where a guy had a dog called....Trevor! Oh brew ha ha!

Last year I had a class of 8 students and there were 3 Pauls and me as teacher.
In the first thirty years of my life I had met two Adrians and had never seen one on TV.
Then i started a new job and there were 2 adrians at the new workplace. Then i started seeing adrians on TV (news reporters), hearing my name on the radio, reading my name in the paper.
where were these adrians for all of those years?
but more importantly, where did they come from? A parallel universe? adrianworld? :lol:
cheers,
DJDD aka adrian

C'mon the Dougs - I know you're out there! Lets show this 'Other' guy we mean business!!

Looks like the "Others" are off and running.
They sound a bit like an alien race.:eek:
Beware of the "Others" :ship2: we are watching you.

Spooky!
Almost the same here.
All of a sudden, you start hearing your name, and it's cool.:cool3:
Many people can't spell it correctly, more often using the female spelling, Oh well.:(
You know it means "The Dark One", in Latin?
My parents chose wisely!!!

I owned up to mine only because it wasn't spelled "Jeff"
Cheers
I guess Ashley isn't that common
weird- that is my reaction.
I wonder if all of you eric's, paul's, andrew's, et al., get the same buzz as us adrian's? or are there just too many of you out there?:)
I think I need to change my username to 'TDO'...
adrian's rule OK! :thumbsup:

and Bwian, Woger and Woderwick are in the other Monty Python sketch!:)
Why is there no option for "Al"?:shrug: Why am I lumped in with the "others"?:shrug: Am I not an individual, just like everyone else?...:P
"Yes! We are all individuals!...
I'm not.":lol:
I miss Monty Python!

I was surprised that Dave or David was not one of the "named" ones to choose from...There was a time that you could not post here without a reply from someone named Dave...
Thankfully, us "Scotts" can remain special and unique!

Maybe all those who clicked "other" are named Dave :confuse3:
The Geoffs are in the lead, i wonder who they all are?

Too Arabian probably, Laurie.
I don't know what I should do. I have three given names and I use my third for everyday purposes. Well, actually I do as none of the three are in the options.

23-02-2008, 10:42 PM
Ahhh, John.
But his was spelt > 'LaWrence of Arabia'.:P
I could then almost be a 'Shiek'.

Wow, I'm really surprised only 3 Eric's have checked in. I was certain there were more :)
I am amused by the 10% Geoff/Jeff presence though :D If I ever need help at a star party where I don't know anyone, I'll just have to remember to call out "Geoff"!
