Name's David. It's pretty nice, not too weird but not that common either.
Full name however is a completely different story. Not only it is a extremely common source of bad puns, but I must cut off strangers before they say it because I swear they will not say it right. It's the bad kind of weird.
Also if I ever get a daughter, she will be named Alice.
I'm a David too, as far as nicknames go Dave is fine, I hate Davy. Makes me sound like I'm three.
Surname is not common at all, no one can spell it right.
Googled my full name once. Couldn't find me, but I found my name double. Oddly enough his wife has the same name as my wife, and they're both teachers.
My son is Ashton, baby number two with probably be Xander if it's a boy, or Xanthe if it's a girl (Lily as a middle name, after my grandmother).
I also like Hannah or Brianna for a girl, but Brianna would never go with my surname.
On the topic of legendary names, our dog is called Persephone.
I used to run a canvass office in Philadelphia. We hired for short time work, so we were doing interviews constantly. I saw all sorts of crazy names come through.
Personal favorite: Saf-aye-en-aye
spelled: Caffeine
My wife is a med student. Apparently there are horror stories about mothers trying to name their kids with words they see on the charts, most notable "miconium."
Baby's first poo.
I can relate to that last one. A woman gave birth to twins, and found their names on the hospital food list: Lemonjello [luh-MON-jello] and Orangejello [uh-RON-jello].

So, I've been thinking about changing my name for a long time. One idea that has always been good in my mind was "Turing". Since this thread is about names, I figured I'd pose the question. Thoughts?

No.
It's going to be interpreted as "Touring", which puts you in some white trash street drag racing camp.
Otherwise it's a gay nerdy dude who hated himself so much he ate a cyanidy apple.
How would you like to be called Nicodemus?

That sounds interesting. Please tell me more.
What... do you want me to tell you?
I want you to tell me whatever you want to talk about!

Ass. I want to hear your thoughts on "Turing" as a given name.
Mark. I've always hated it, primarily because it's kind of boring, but also because I have this weird psychological tick that I get REALLY annoyed when I hear my name and the speaker is not talking to me.

Would you keep your surname?

I haven't thought much about on Turing as a given name, so I don't have a good answer for you.
I had a friend who's name was Draco, now there's a name. At least I think that's how it was spelt... everyone called him Drew.
My name is fairly dull and forces me to stick numbers on the end from an old inside joke of my introduction to the internet to use it on forums and emails and whatnot. Because I'm too lame to come up with an awesome nickname.

My name is Myles. I haven't met very many others, which is good I think. People usually screw up the spelling by putting an 'i' instead of a 'y', but I don't blame them.

I think Turing just sounds weird as a first name and it isn't as easy to use as Mark. Expect to have people mispronounce and misspell it. I rather have a boring name than a name that makes people go "huh?"
If it makes you feel any better, it means "bone marrow" in German.
And it means "field" in danish as in a corn field, wheat field or such. It is also the tail end of name of Danmark/Denmark, which pretty much mean "The field of the danes" ("Danernes mark").

My first name, Shaun, means God's Grace
My last name, Stoddard, means Keeper of Horses
Funny thing about that is I'm a Pagan (so there's plenty of Gods to choose from) and I've never ridden a horse in my life
My name's Benaiah. My dad's a Christian, so he got the first one on the recommendation of a pastor.
My middle name, Wo Shi, apparently means "I Am" in Chinese (my mom is Chinese). This is a reference to when God appeared to Moses as a burning bush and referred to Himself as "I Am".

And it means "field" in danish as in a corn field, wheat field or such. It is also the tail end of name of Danmark/Denmark, which pretty much mean "The field of the danes" ("Danernes mark").
If you're going to try to improve my opinion of my given name by saying what it means, at least go for the bad ass original meaning: "Of Mars".
As far as misspellings, I get enough of that with my last name, so I'm used to dealing with that crap. Ultimately, I'm after something unique and somewhat reflective of who I am.
I like that when you google image my name, all you get is picture of naked women.:P
it is also the name of a sexy flight attendant from a french comic book I liked to read when I was a little girl.
I really have no idea what I'd like to name my kids and fear the day I'll have to. It takes me hours naming a character in a videogame. I'm glad I'll have the 9 months off to think about it
Just give yourself a name that was used by several kings like Henry, Edward, Charles, Ivan, James, Harold, Louis or Philip. Then you can laugh at all the silly people with commoner names like Taylor and Smith that are inspired by jobs that are beneath your royal stature.

So, yeah I've had to explain that more times than I want to remember.
Luckily, he's the only one that does this.
Yeah. That's right.
I like it, it's pretty unique.
Terrible name to have in elementary/middle school though. Rhymes with too many things.

This is a very old, very annoying joke.

I blame my weird ass mother.

Are you called Legolas or Elrond?

It's a damned unique name though, I've never met another Connell. Some people have it as a last name though.
