    Okay so I did experiment with a few names before and I have used some of them on EC before but I've settled on a first name now. I'm not worrying about a middle name right now since it took me so long to find a first name :grin: I don't even know why I chose my name, I was looking for something soft-sounding but still masculine so yeah...It's not even a name that would usually stand out to me but I really like it on myself for some reason lol It's heard of but doesn't seem to be too popular where I live so that was a bonus for me. It's still a bit hard for me to get used to but I've only been considering it for maybe eight weeks? I was just going to let everyone know so I wouldn't have to go by Spot all the time (which was the first word that popped into my head when I was trying to think up a username, I still like it :slight_smile:) I'm glad I finally have a name :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Hey Colin- that's an awesome name, and I quite like it. Happy you like it too and that it suits you, I'll make a mental note to call you your name rather than username if I address you around EC in the future!

    Colin is an amazing name. It was a strong contender for me, personally. But I decided to got with Alec.

    Are you pronouncing it with a soft or hard "o" sound?

    Thank you everyone! I wasn't able to use the Internet for a week so that's why I haven't replied. I don't have a middle name yet, I think I'll choose one when I get more used to my first name. It's pronounced with a short o sound :slight_smile:
