When I eventually met Mr. Right I had no idea that his first name was Always.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The first time I was in his office was when they called me in to tell me they had changed my name. I had a feeling that if I'd gone along with the name they'd chosen, I'd never be seen again. I'd be swallowed up by that name, because it was a false name: Kit Marlowe.
When I was old enough to change my name, I changed it to Mr. T so that the first word out of someone's mouth was 'Mister,' a sign of respect.
I've always been called 'Suki,' but my actual first name is Alice.
I was named after my mother's maiden name.
There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.
I can't believe that people actually know my first and last name. I think it's really, really, gosh-darn neat.
David Holdaway was my stage name. I was an actor for about eight years in the '90s. I had to change my name because there was another David Nicholls, and I thought if I changed it to my mother's name, she'd be touched.
I've never once corrected someone who got my name wrong.
My mind is vacant on names, but I know him as well as anything. When I need names they drop out of my head; when I don't need them they drop back.
Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.
