A Game Of TAG

October 2nd, 2008

I was tagged (by Muymuy) and I had a dilemma (as if it’s life changing) whether to publish an entry on this or not.

Rule: List all the names you were called by and the people who call you that. Tag at least 5 members of your contacts and give a comment on their site for them to know they’ve been tagged.

Alfonso — My real name. Professionally, I prefer to be called by this name. Classmates here in the States call me by this name. It may sound old, but I won’t exchange it for something else. I was named after my grandfather. It defines me.

Nonó — This is my nickname and where the site’s name came from. Take note on the accent on the second syllable. Everyone in the family up to the second degree calls me by this name. Everyone in our barangay knows me by this name. My classmates and friends from Kindergarten to Grade 2 call me by this name.

Alponsó — When a family member is angry at me, they mess up the pronounciation.

Pons — My classmates from Roxas City, Capiz (Grade 3 to 3rd Year HS) call me this and anyone who knows me who is not a relative and an Ilonggo.

Fons — Some people from work calls me by this name.

Alfons — Some people from work calls me by this name. I’m really intrigued as to why the last vowel had to be cropped out.

Al — Someone used to call me this.

Alfie — People sometimes call me by this name.

Fonse. — Some people from work calls me by this name. I’m kind of fond of this now as you would realize. It has become my Gravatar name. I even went overboard as to adding a period at the end as if it’s a monoword sentence. Just to keep it cool and different I guess.
