Guess my REAL Name.

[PiRho]

OK... so I've been in the 'Abandon All Hope' (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=543406) threads for a while, and folks keep bugging me about what my real name is. Recently I encouraged folks to go ahead and try to guess it, I would keep a list of the guesses, and let them know when they got it. I quickly ran out of space to add names in my Signature line, so here I am offering to have anyone that wants to go ahead and guess my real name.

Winning:
I will announce the "winner" (there is no prize) as soon as possible after my real name guessed.

Good luck and have fun.


Hints: I thought long and hard about giving hints, and finally broke down and gave one hint, I do not expect to give any more, however no promises on that score :)
1. my name is.... 5 alphabetic* characters long
(Later clerified: *English 'alphabetic' Characters)



P.S. to decrease confusion, you are only looking for a single name, the one that I go by on a day to day basis, it is my real name however it happens to be my middle name, 95% of people that I know do not know my first name, so it would be unfair to make ya'll guess that one.

CHEATING would be posting an entire dictionary! and will be ignored!

Edit:
OK lets say 5-10 names per post, this is not to see how big of a list of names you have, this is for you to guess my real name. but thanks for the list there Jeff. I hope not too many people waste their time reading through that ( <-- may or may not be a hint)

[PiRho]

Here is the post that really started it all (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showpost.php?p=6267997&postcount=3124). :) there was some discussion about my name when I first came, however I am too lazy to look it up :)

Sorry, Z, jut had to give ya crap! :D

Always be weary of cheaters like me!!!!! :D

[Chet]

LOL. I don't see Lester

[Chet]

And Pirho's Avatar spells out POTN FAN for those not in the know.

[Anke]

Jeff, I kept smiling more the more I scrolled down :D :D Hilarious! :D

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Jeff, I kept smiling more the more I scrolled down :D :D Hilarious! :D


Haha, well.... we'd be here all day if we did it one at a time.... However, by the end of it, I may come close to Permie's post count! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

[Anke]

^^ Looks like you've been "ignored", Jeff :D

[Chet]

Haha, well.... we'd be here all day if we did it one at a time.... However, by the end of it, I may come close to Permie's post count! :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:


I did some quick calculations and that seems impossible.

[PiRho]

so you think this should be a competition on who has the best dictionary of names?

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Are you saying it hasn't been guessed?

[ssidiv3r]

Oh boy, I think Jeff has too much time on his hands.

Hmmm, how bout "david"

[ssidiv3r]

Are you saying it hasn't been guessed?

No, he's saying he'll ignore those "dictionaries" until somebody posts 1 guess that is right

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Oh boy, I think Jeff has too much time on his hands.

Hmmm, how bout "david"

Hmmm, how about "read through my long list of names"??? :lol:

[Anke]

I'm presuming it begins with Z? No?

[Chet]

Monty?

[PiRho]

Edited the original post.

[ssidiv3r]

Hmmm, how about "read through my long list of names"??? :lol:

How bout no

Jesus?

You call me? :p Now stop editing you post Chet

[SoaringUSAEagle]

^^ Looks like you've been "ignored", Jeff :D

Nothing new there ;)

I did some quick calculations and that seems impossible.

Yeah, you're probably right. Maybe if we had to guess every name out there - not just the 5 lettered ones.

This would be a lot more fun if it was 4 letters :D Hahaha I have a few for you now.

[ssidiv3r]

This would be a lot more fun if it was 4 letters :D Hahaha I have a few for you now.

But would they get past the site's filters?

[SoaringUSAEagle]

I'll leave the list for good measures.

Or maybe I will just go back through and post 10 at a time :D Whatcha think of that???

Hahaha

[Chet]

Your killing me Jeff.

[PiRho]

I'm presuming it begins with Z? No?

I have been going by "Z", "Pi", or "PiRho" on here, all of which may be a good place to start. not a suggestion or a hint. but it would be logical.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

But would they get past the site's filters?

Sure, just type it intelligently.

[Chet]

Jeffy?

[Chet]

Corky?

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Fine, my first REAL guess...... Zayne.

[ssidiv3r]

Sure, just type it intelligently.

Uh huh

Hey Z, is it Zippy?

[Chet]

Spike?

[ssidiv3r]

Rozen

[PiRho]

good guesses, however the prize (nothing) is still up for grabs!

[gjl711]

I'm presuming it begins with Z? No?
Maybe Zyzyx. I know that there is some road named that.

[john123]

Peter
Phiro
Horpi
Firoz

I am geting closer....

[PiRho]

Maybe Zyzyx. I know that there is some road named that.

Peter
Phiro
Horpi
Firoz

I am geting closer....

[S.Horton]

Pronounced..............

[Anke]

Pronounced..............

Is that the next competition? :D

[SoaringUSAEagle]

LMAOOOO!!!!! :lol:

[gjl711]

Pronounced..............

I think it's pronounced

Zadok

[AngryCorgi]

Interesting name...

Zadok is a Hebrew name, meaning "righteous".

Very classy. ;)

[Anke]

I think it's pronounced

Zadok

...or possibly Zadok?

[Anke]

Interesting name...

Zadok is a Hebrew name, meaning "righteous".

Very classy. ;)

If anything was deserving of a look from the TF then :)

[gjl711]

...or possibly Zadok?
But not Zeus.

[PiRho]

Pronounced..............

hmmm. well that depends on who you are! pardon the possibly incorrect phonetic spelling...

I pronounce it: Zad ik
those who have studied hebrew tend to pronounce it: tsadOk

also take into account the southern accent.... well lets just say that my name has been slaughtered in many many ways! LOL

[PiRho]

I think it's pronounced

Zadok
very good genius! :) LOL ;)

Interesting name...

Zadok is a Hebrew name, meaning "righteous".

Very classy. ;)
Thanks, my folks gave me the name thinking I would grow into it.... I'm still working on that! :oops:

But not Zeus.
LOL that would be a very interesting pronounciation(sp)

try this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zadok)

and no I didn't edit that! LOL

[PiRho]

I have been seriously tempted to tell these folks (http://www.zadokjewelers.com/)that they need to start sending me a cheque every month for using my name! LOL

HAHHAhaha

[Anke]

I have been seriously tempted to tell these folks (http://www.zadokjewelers.com/)that they need to start sending me a cheque every month for using my name! LOL

HAHHAhaha

Looks like they can afford it :D Royal Jewellers too.

[PiRho]

Looks like they can afford it :D Royal Jewellers too.

Yeah but I think that having "Extortionist" on my record will make it harder to get a good job! :|

[john123]

Relief .
Congrats to the winner .

[PiRho]

btw my first name was guessed long ago :D

MUAHAHAHAHHAHAA Jeff (Jeff Allred) really wanted to guess :) LOL Not!

[SoaringUSAEagle]

:-P

What's your first name then just so we can clarify?

[PiRho]

:-P

What's your first name then just so we can clarify?

Looking back it was only guessed two times! unless we count your dictionary hack! LOL it was in there as well.

[Rachellebee27]

So can I call you Zad?

[PiRho]

So can I call you Zad?

nope, not allowed....

Just kidding

LOL of course you CAN call me that! what can I do about it? LOL if you are going to shorten it you might as well do more then a Half- job of it though!

[SoaringUSAEagle]

K, what letter does it start with? :D

[PiRho]

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAA LOL it's Aaron

[sevillafox]

can I still call you loserface?

;)

[sevillafox]

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAA LOL it's Aaron

my mom wanted me to name Ian that....aaron kane

[PiRho]

Like I told Kay, you Can call me whatever you want because you live in a 'free' country where you are allowed 'free' speech. however I would advise that you may not want to make that a habit. "7 pounds 5 ounces" makes a much better title for you. LOL but I would totally laugh if you got hit with that one though! LOL

[PiRho]

my mom wanted me to name Ian that....aaron kane

I think you mentioned that. but I couldn't remember if I said anything about it being "too common a name" lol anyway. I like it as a name... but I much Prefer Zadok due to being a bit obscure :D

[SoaringUSAEagle]

I'll call you Aaron then..... Zadok is just weird.

[PiRho]

booooooo! LOL may I call you boring?

[SoaringUSAEagle]

It's in my title...

[PiRho]

It's in my title...

W00T! Thanks :)

[SoaringUSAEagle]

NP... you need a title now.

[Anke]

NP... you need a title now.

Paging the Title Fairy...come in Title Fairy...

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Paging the Title Fairy...come in Title Fairy...

Hehe..... Aaron will get one soon enough. If only it could be Dingleberry! :D

[gjl711]

NONONO!!! Zeus Zadok

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Well at least now I can sleep tonight :rolleyes: :lol:

[gjl711]

Paging the Title Fairy...come in Title Fairy... I heard that the TF is dead, struck by a lightning bolt.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Are you sure he wasnt a logger?

(not my images.... but obviously the hook attached to the wrong thing... The guy lived and was unhurt.)

[gjl711]

Are you sure he wasnt a logger?

(not my images.... but obviously the hook attached to the wrong thing... The guy lived and was unhurt.)OUCH!!!! Hope he ad marshmallows.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

I'm sure he had time to go get them haha. I bet that baby was hot for days.

[S.Horton]

"member with no name"

(attempting to influence the TF)

"kodaz"

[gjl711]

"member with no name"

(attempting to influence the TF)

"kodaz"Isn't that a brand of camera?

[Chet]

Zadok- Would be a great name for a sandwich. Now I picture it on a croissant with some sprouts and other zeggies.

[Lookin4filters]

Comohasapenupetaman!

[greg20d]

wow I bet nobody can guess my name ....

[ssidiv3r]

is it smith ;)

[gjl711]

Zadok- Would be a great name for a sandwich. Now I picture it on a croissant with some sprouts and other zeggies. Hmmm... If I were a sandwich, guess what kind of sandwich I would be. :)

[-MasterChief-]

wow I bet nobody can guess my name ....

ummm, is it greg? :?

[S.Horton]

Isn't that a brand of camera?

kodaz = zadok backwards.

Good title, because you'd have to have known about this thread to know what it means.

Or, it could be like The Shining........ Could be.
:lol:

[PiRho]

thanks for the suggestions, but I rather like my current title :) I have Used Kodaz before, it doesn't work too well even less people can figure out how to pronounce it. LOL

[Chet]

Hmmm... If I were a sandwich, guess what kind of sandwich I would be. :)

Tuna

[gjl711]

Tuna Tuna.... eeww... it's so.. um... tuna-ey... Mooving on to the next guess.

[Mike]

I feel let down :(

Zadok - you put your name in your signature already and it ruined the surprise ;)

Hmmm... If I were a sandwich, guess what kind of sandwich I would be.

How about marmite and strawberry jam? My favourite :D
