It's got to be James Mercury.

I feel about the old Fredster the way you do. And somehow it suits you (in a non-gay way).

James Martin

James Lowe (J.Lowe - 'J-Lo')

Hohoho.

How about "James Wilberforce" . . . ?

Use a name that people will get correctly the first time you say it. I get called Mick, Dick or even Rick if I say mine too quickly.

Try a name over a bad phone line to people and make sure they don't come back with "pardon", or "how do you spell that". If you're going to use it on radio, that's even more important as your listeners won't have the opportunity to say "pardon".

Don't use anything with multiple spellings, like Davies, or you'll spend the rest of your life correcting correspondence.

And, as you've found with "sprout", nothing people can extract the urine out of. Can't think of any problems with Mercury, except I always shorten it to "hg".

I remember there was a news story a few years ago about a man who changed his name to 'Legoland Windsor'. He then registered a domain with his name, and was promptly sued by the theme park!

How many ways are there of spelling or saying God?


As for names, I'd love to change my first name. James's really are everywhere theres about 6/7 on here and TVF alone, and everyone I know always oversays the S at the end. Jamesssss. Most annoying. That why I always use my second name, on here and in life.

Mercury is a very good name but I'm not sure how well it goes with James.. Why not change both? Obviously not to Freddy but something that goes well with it?

Theplanet Mercury?

Or how about... Dave Gorman?

I like being called James.

At least it's not a common chav name like Lee, Dave, Tony etc., also I don't think I would get used to being called something else.

It's interesting that about twenty years ago, everyone who's birth certificate said James was insisting on being called Jim.

Now most of the Jims have gone back to using the full version.
