[poll] Names!

[pne]

To clarify slightly (hopefully): the "more than two middle names" was meant to read "more than two given names (i.e., more than one middle name)". And the "human" option is for those who would prefer to answer neither "male" nor "female"; I take it for granted that most people who chose "male" or "female" also consider themselves "human".

I have a fairly interesting story about my name.

My full name is Luke Peter Joseph *surname* (for privacy I will not divulge my surname).

My father's full name was Peter Joseph *surname*

I actually changed my name legally from Luke Peter *surname* to Luke Peter Joseph *surname* to honour my father.

This was after a competition I entered at University, where I was given 1000 points for my team, to change my name legally to the same name as the team.

So for a short time I was named I.I. *surname* as the name of the team I was on was I.I. (We came second in the competition). This also explains my nickname of lukeii

When I wanted to change back, the government said I could not have the same name as before, so I added the middle name of my father.

Hence, my full name is now Luke Peter Joseph *surname*

Thank-you for reading my story! :) I enjoyed taking your poll as I had some strange answers to give.

Huh! Interesting.

And an interesting story, too.
