I don't mind my given name (Leonard). I dislike folks who insist on shortening it.

I am not "Leo" or "Len". And as for "Lenny"... GRRRRRR!

And then there are the folks with the "Leonardo da Vinci" jokes, or references to "Leonard Skinnard"( however that's spelled).

And lets not go into my middle name. I loathe it.

Many of my friends are as apt to call me Shadow as Leonard. It started out as a BBS handle, and turned into a handy name for many things.

Oddly, though Brooke started out as a joke, I kind of like it. Though it does have a property similar to "Leonard" I have run into a few folks who insist on "Brooke Shields" jokes. They think they are witty. They are half right.
