My name is common in America: Jeff. However, in college I had the nickname Jerf. It was a combination of smurf and Jeff and I don't know recall who started it. Today, I have the nickname Jiff from some of my nonprofit fundraising Board member friends. The secretary of the Board kept typing my name wrong on agendas and it stuck. So when anyone calls me Jerf, I know they are from collage days and when someone calls me Jiff, I know they are probably going to ask me to donate time or money. :) Well, since most people shared things about their names, here some about mine…

I didn't know my jaw was broken until I got xrays two days later. When my top teeth weren't matching up with the bottom, I knew something was up =P. I've been back in mosh pits since, but not as much, and I was a lot more careful...if that's possible. I went back into the mosh pit right after I was kicked!

A little more rasp these days, but that's probably more because I'm out of serious practice. But, you know, singin' in the car is always a nice voice-stretching exercise. ;) Yep, I can sing again.

Nothing special about that, but on the odd occasion I have told a person they look at me with surprise. Apparently I don't "look the type." Not sure what the "type" is but what ever it is I don't fit in it ;) I used to be in the Army. Nothing special about that, but on the odd occasion I have told a person they look at me with surprise.

Cannot believe you got spinkicked in a mosh pit! I knew they were crazy but WOW! Question now is whether you've gone mosh pitting since then? =) @Connie - I had no idea about you being your own first cousin. That makes for some interesting conversation! @Colleen - Sooo, when are we going shopping? ;) @David – another amazing story. Cannot believe you got spinkicked in a mosh pit!

Really nice to hear and to get to know some of you a little better. @Teresa (T) - that is an amazing story. Can't imagine what you went through, it being your dream and with you losing your voice for 3 months! Sad to hear what you went through but I don't doubt it's made you a much stronger person. Are you able/allowed to sing at all now since your experience? @Jackie meet @Allen =) I don't doubt you both have amazing stories regarding your names. But hey, it's those stories that builds character and something fun to tell your grandchildren! @Heather - musical talent in the house! Another secret, I played the clarinet for a year in middle school. Yea, don't ask why I chose that since only girls played it. That's awesome though - so much discipline and hard work put into that I see. Do you still play? Wow – I love everyone’s stories! Really nice to hear and to get to know some of you a little better.

I'm a Gemini and like long walks on the beach. When I was young, my mother told me if I ate carrots I'd be able to see through walls. As a result, I now love carrots. However, I have the worst vision you can imagine. Hi, my name is Kasey. I’m a Gemini and like long walks on the beach.

I'm named Connie after my mother. Growing up we were Big Connie and Little Connie, but of course that changed. Church friends call me Connie Junior; family call me by my initials, C.L. And as I revealed in one of those "10 things about me" memes ... I am my own first cousin. It's a Southern genealogy thing: my grandparents, who married in 1913, were first cousins. (It was legal then.) Perhaps that explains some of my eccentricities? :-) Great post Sandeep, aka Sonny.
