May 27th 2010, 02:59 AM

Not. Too similar. My current nickname/pnumonic divice for saying my name is Relff but i dont like it as a reall name. I like mark. But that doesnt work, mark kohls is weird.

The first name that popped into my head was one of my favorites. Lyric.
I am different. I am strange. I am creative. I am destructive. I am constructive. I am trustworthy. I am loving and forgiving.

Im M to F so i might be to much help. But 1 problem is the name HAS to suit YOU. If youre not got going to be completey masculine, dont choose an overly masculine name. Youre prone to over combinasting your masuclinaty(i know i do it with my fem) so heres some names i think.
Josh(had to get it in there)
Julian(Jules for short)
Bill(William, billy)
Petter(not my fave xD)
Kane
Chris
Rhys(welsh name)
Adam
Luke
Mathew
Jacob
Jack
Sometimes to help yourself reply to a name its better to choose one starting with the same letter. This also helps other people accept your name. I didnt do this, so i cant make you xD also i have a problem with taking another persons name, make sure theyre ok with it if you do so. My freind wasnt so ok xD

James (Kohls) , Daniel (Kohls), Sebastian (Kohls) , Stephan (Kohls) , Nathan (Kohls), Tristan (Kohls). Just some I like, that also sounded good with Kohls. =)
I'll do whatever it takes to be the mistake you can't live without.

Are there any names you've always liked, or always felt you had a connection with?? I think you might be able to know the right one when you see it, it'll just feel right. The others have given good suggestions though.

That has a nice ring to it, actually! I like it a lot!
How is "Giacomo" pronounced? Is it "gee (as in "geezer")-ah-como (like the Spanish word for "how")" or "jee (as in "Jesus")-ah-como"? Or something completely different? Either way, I like the sound of Abbott Giacomo Kohls.

Jack-a-moe : its french hence the goofy spelling: Giacomo. But also the "j" sound is more of a j and an sh added together sometimes described as a zh(z+sh) sound.

Ohh, okay! I know exactly what you mean about the "j" sound. I still really love Abbott Giacomo Kohls. It has a nice ring!

I'd say go to some baby naming sites and look through the names till you find one you like, the best baby site I go to is www.babynames.com try that, just look through some and you'll find one
