You put this post behind the cut for the "disinterested" ... I promise you, Mark ... Anyone who reads this will be fascinated! I hope it generates discussion. It's a fresh, interesting topic!
My first and middle names are James O'Neil ... I've never been called Jim or James, unless someone completely doesn't know me. I have always been Neil. Just for you ... my nickname growing up was "Sunshine". (Shhh ... don't tell anyone:)
My nephew is Jeffrey O'Neil ... When he was born in 1983, I was living in NYC. I was in my 5th floor walkup at Bway and 103rd when my brother called ... Jeff's first words to me about the birth of his son? (think thick Texas accent) ... Neil, you're an uncle! His name is Jeffrey O'Neil ... Jeffrey after me and O'Neil after you! But, I'm gonna call him Buddy! ... My reply ... Why, Buddy ... Jeff: Because, he's my little buddy ... LOL!
