General Custard Lee (I believe) - he reigned during the civil war. I'm not named after him though. My mother is really religious and she tells she got my name from God. All I want to know is what she was smoking when that happened. :rolleyes: Jeremy Falcon Imputek "Life is too precious - don't waste it." - Norm Almond "And remember, what some call cynical, others call experienced." - Christopher Duncan

Edward Timothy Smith. I use my middle name. "Ed" sucks. :) Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...

Well if your mother was serious then you are probably named after Witness Lee[^], a Chinese bondslave of Jesus Christ (no I am not making this up, check the website out, hectic stuff.) Someone must have been smoking something fierce however :rolleyes: Both my names are rather Christian and religious (Paul and Michael) though neither of my parents are very religious. My uncle (who my middle name is after, Michael) though is a Canon in the Church, but far from a disciple of Christ (or even a good Christian come to think it :-D) * Google is awesome. Type in "Bible Lee" and you get tons of links. Maybe Google told your mother, not God. :rolleyes: regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa

Tim Smith wrote: Edward Timothy Smith We live and learn! So it was little Edward Timothy Smith who followed the rules back in school. My word, amazing indeed. Tim Smith wrote: "Ed" sucks I would say Ed is a good name for our profession. It just rings out "technical guru." "Quick get Ed, he knows." or "Ed, how do I parameterize the bootstrap sequence of the distributed dongle port?"

[Tim Smith]

"Ed" as in the talking horse. A bad US TV show in the 60s. Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...

[Tim Smith]

Exactly. "Edward" is majestic. "Ed" makes me want to vomit. Tim Smith "Programmers are always surrounded by complexity; we can not avoid it...

[Jon Sagara]

Jon "Hideo" Sagara It's Japanese. It was my grandfather's first name. My dad's middle name is also his grandfather's first name. Don't know how far back it went, though. Jon Sagara "Hello, operator? Hello? God, that's right, you have to punch in the numbers nowadays. [Er, I should know this... oh yes. 8675 309, that's it. No, wait, that's not it. Damn you, Tommy Two-Tone! Only one thing to do.. 111 1111... Lois? Damn! 111 1112... Lois? Damn! 111 1113...]"

[Neil Van Eps]

Yes, my middle name is my father's name. I've always wondered about my first name though, I was born about a year after the first moon landing. I should ask my parents about that.
