    @River well, your one for the mix, River, is a good one. If I could name myself anything, it would be either Reggie, Tommy, or Paddy. I'm just thankful my mum never went with my dad's idea of Nathanial. Like, please, Nathan sucks enough without the additional ial at the end. And my middle names are just awful :'( Why my mum decided to name my middle name after the last british soldier to die on the somme i will never know

    @DonnerKebab haha I chose the name river on here because I have a fascination towards rivers but I actually think I’d suit it in real life 😂

    I’m named after Winnie the Pooh’s favourite food 😭😂😂 all my siblings got normal names and I was given that and I asked why I was given that name and she said it was because she wasn’t gonna name me and a nurse called me my name in the hospital so she stuck with it 😂 all my siblings had planned names and I was gonna be nameless 😂😂

    @River that ain't so bad. The nameless part is and how she wasn't going to name you sucks, but the name itself ain't too bad. River is awesome too.

    My first name is Nathan, second name, the first name of the last british soldier to perish in the battle of the somme in the great war for some reason, the third is my grandma's family name which is also a gypsy traveller one :'( , and my last name is a colour. I swear my family have all the naming capacity of a cat jumping on a keyboard.

    Still, could be worse for us. Could be called "x ae a-12" like elon musks son 😂

    @DonnerKebab being named after a soldier isn’t the best but you have a double barrel name? Ooo you have 2 middle names like me :O

    Edit I thought of a colour and matched it to your first name and it actually sounds nice 😂 I went for my favourite colour hahaha

    @River Yep. Double barrel. So the first 2 names for me are Nathan Henry, and I'll leave you to guess the last 2. 😂

    And yeah, according to my mum the soldier was taken out by a sharpshooter, so that's lovely to be named after. Some poor chap 100 years ago getting taken out. A real vote of confidence from her 😂. And you've got two middle names too? That's honestly crazy. I have not yet encountered anybody with 2 middle names so far. Maybe one or two actually but still. Rare.
  • DonnerKebabDonnerKebab Posts: 836 Part of The Mix Family
    @River What did you guess I'm generally curious now if you can actually guess it?
  • RiverRiver Community Connector Posts: 4,158 Community Veteran
    @DonnerKebab i had the wrong second name 😂😂

    Haha yeah I have 2, one of them is the same name as someone who was in the royal family and the other is my birth stone although I only use my birthstone name. My last name is named after a food 😂 however my very fist last name was named after a metal 😂

    My favourite colour is periwinkle so when you said a colour I went “Nathan periwinkle” 😂😂 I want to change my last name to periwinkle now

    i feel much better :’p
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸
  • DonnerKebabDonnerKebab Posts: 836 Part of The Mix Family
    @River I kind of want to get a name change now too cause Periwinkle genuinely sounds like a cool last name to have, even though i don't even know what colour that is 😂. Sadly wrong though.

    Oh, i am 100% guessing when you said someone who USED to be in the royal family, i'm guessing it's either an exile or a former monarch? Oh god, it's not prince Andrew is it 😂 That would be a nightmare.

    @eylah amazing to hear. That helpline worker must have really made an impact.

    @River Princess Margaret or Princess Diana if you don't mind me asking, or are we talking the Victorian era? Am i close? Oh, and that is actually a nice colour. Like light purple.

    @River Elizabeth. Of course it's the one i never guessed. Every one but the main one 😭. That's an awesome first middle name to have you know.
  • RiverRiver Community Connector Posts: 4,158 Community Veteran
    @DonnerKebab yeah that’s the middle name I got when I was adopted but my birthstone sounds more posh 😂 I prefer ot and plus I’ve had the middle name since I was born so I prefer it

    @River beat them to it 😂

    And thank you. I didn't mention my last name due to anonymity, although with three names out of four there, i'm guessing there's not many people with that combo. I think they draw the line at 2 names. 😭

    We have been named after odd things i think 😂
  • DonnerKebabDonnerKebab Posts: 836 Part of The Mix Family
    @River what's the song called if you don't mind me asking?
  • RiverRiver Community Connector Posts: 4,158 Community Veteran
    @DonnerKebab its called “forgive me by gavn!” If you have TikTok search up his account which is “gavn!” And then it’s the most recent post of his about his song

    @River I just watched the 18 second promo clip. That's actually a solid song by the sounds of it.

    @River a little bit. They are usually meant to support you not ask things that might be triggering. I imagine they might just want to check the severity of your eating situation, to check your not dangerously underweight i guess, but it's still out of order for them to do that.

    And the spam block. Is that by the helpline or something? Speaking of spam...
