Change of name

Fred27
Fred27
22 Jan 2020

I just changed my name (From David Murphy to Fred Murphy) in my profile and thought I'd head off any potential confusion with a blog post.

 

Nothing too strange going on. Both are me. David's my actual name although most people (even my wife and kids) know me as Fred. Most places on line I'm Fred. I think I created my account on E14 as David as it came off the back of my Farnell account which had my shipping address at work as David. Seeing as I have a new job where from day one everyone knows me as Fred I thought I might as well update my E14 profile too. Matches my login of Fred27 better too.

 

Anyway, that all. Same person. Not some newbie who's been clicking "like" so hard they got to Tesla in a week.

    Another Jackie Chan fan here too. I used to teach Kung Fu many years ago. There's the odd bit in his films where you can tell that not only is he a great actor / acrobat / stuntman, but he genuinely knew…

    I'm curious to discover the name relationship between David and Fred.

     

    If your birth name is David, what caused you to be called Fred.

     

    I have uncles that are named Richard called *** and another named John who is called Jack. Are you willing to shared the reasons behind the naming convention?
