I'm Jon(athan) and I try to play the (tenor) banjo. It's a nickname some people know me by...
Perhaps if I ever hit my sort of road to Damascus moment (I wish), I'll change it but until then I'm likely to stay as this version of "me".
It can be a difficult one, I know and I've sometimes wondered about changing names. Perhaps I could become "Saved by His Glory" (if that's not already taken....) but it wouldn't be real (in the sense that I believe there is a lot that needs sorting with me and I don't feel "there"), "20 odd yrs' a battling Satan [and loosing some rounds]" wouldn't sound too good... (feels like that sometimes) and just about anything else I'd come up with at the moment would feel pretentious and/or false.
Don't get me wrong here a "Christian" handle might absolutely be the right choice for another person but I believe I should (for better or for worse....) present myself as this "me" to the forum.

Abdicate - something a king does to surrender his throne to another, in this case, my life for Jesus.

Nice! My last name is Armenian, but if you saw my pasty white skin you'd be able to tell that I'm definitely not Armenian
. My great grandmother had my grandfather from a previous marriage then married into the Kurkjian name. After my family did some research, my last name should really be Bennett (although Brian Michael Bennett kind of sounds like a serial killer
, so I'm happy to have stuck with Kurkjian). I'm a mutt; English, Polish, German, Irish, and Norwegian

Yea it too bad some of these wonderful pictures of God have been defiled by some. Consider a rainbow is a wonderful symbol of Gods good intentions toward man, but it has been made into a rather ungodly symbol of mans corruption.
No of course not. Evil is always hijacking definitions of words--Don't think I will be charged with being a JW
I love Bennett! That's my dad's middle nameNice! My last name is Armenian, but if you saw my pasty white skin you'd be able to tell that I'm definitely not Armenian
But yes-- slightly serial kilkeresque when it's a last name and said with a middle name--
Why are they always triple names? lol

I guess middle names in the late 19th century became a point of pride, that could be one option. The other more likely option is they are used to cut down on mistaken identity, so people with the same first and last name weren't looked at as crazies

No one can beat mine.. Ravindran - my name! Simple
Did not even bother to include last name.. My last name is Gopinathan.. Does anyone bother to try pronouncing it?
M. Raveendran fondly known as "Raveendran Master", was a popular South Indian music composer and playback singer from Kerala. He was always referred to as the aristocratic music director of Malayalam who had a distinctive style of his own.
