Streetlamp Le Moose - easy answer

Warning: wall of text

What the fuck did I just read?

Anyway my name sucks, is it common in my country, I constantly turn around outside cos some rando will call out my name, except it’s some other guy. There are two other dudes with my exact name in my class, I don’t need to describe how stupid it is sometimes. Wish I was named something like Kane or Sebastian, sound nice

I picked a bowling ball that said “Mike” on it and I thought my life would have been a lot different if my name had been Mike.

Sorry I don’t have a cool joke but when I was a kid I wanted my name to have been Jay instead of John.

I've wondered things like this. Certain names are a vibe. Jeff and Steve usually weird me out a bit. Jeff is like a "plant manager" type of vibe to me. Steve is like "civil engineer" vibe. Every Mike I know is pretty cool. 2 of my first skater friends were both Mike and both turned out pretty successful, yet still fun to hang with too.

Also have thought about this with Andrew Reynolds - had he gone by "Andy" instead. Andy Reynolds.

Ever since watching Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, I’ve always thought Cameron was a cool name.  It screams privileged white boy, but it has a nice ring to it.  Wouldn’t work at all with my last name though.

I’m Jeff. My dads name was Steve. He was also an engineer. This whole post made me laugh.

I've been told my name sounds like an active shooter, but I don't care, I like it a lot. Austin Allen Arnold. Fuck the haters.
Before you say the music sucked, have you considered shutting the fuck up?

Damn. That's a cool name. Sounds like an author name to me.

I don’t mind Louis as a name even if it’s a hand me down from my father, and his before him. And I suppose Struxworth seems acceptable enough, if not exceedingly Anglo, but if I could have named myself, maybe I’d have liked something rugged, bold, adventurous, and perhaps even dashing. Something like… Steed Treadwell.
Or if I had aspirations of high society & country clubs, I  might have chosen Batch Harrington.
Or if I wanted to be a QVC host, maybe Pryce Costington would have been apt.
But if I set my life goals a little more modestly, say, maybe I just wanted to be a valet, then perhaps I could be happy with Carl Parker.
So many possibilities, each with a possible name.
As it is, I’ve had my name for so long, I’m not sure I’d care to change it now; I’m content just being Louis Struxworth III, but YOU, my friends, you can just call me Lou.
Lou Strux, your SLAP homey.

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

Nah you don't have an active shooter name, that's a presidential assassin name, which is much cooler  ;D

But you  could just listen to Dip Set and yell, "Killa!" at random intervals.

I went through the process of changing my name not that long ago, and the worst part about it was trying to finalise / decide. I was wavering like fuck on having an alliterative name but just thought fuck it at the last minute.
I’m Madison Juliet M, nice to meet you all.
