It’s just because I like the way my middle name sounds together with my last name. My full name is Jeffrey Neil Crockett, but I’ve always thought that Neil Jeffrey Crockett sounded better. I was always way too lazy to do anything about it, though. Is it worth doing anything like, legally speaking, or should I just get people to call me Neil?

    LOL I suspect you give less than zero fucks or this is a clever ploy for Jeffrey Crockett to receive some rather confusing correspondence. Love it either way.

    My tuppence worth is Jeffrey or Jeff sounds warmer, softer, and friendlier while Neil sounds cooler (as in less warm), stronger, and classier. Jeff/rey is a fantastic golden retriever. Neil, from the Gaelic Niall, is the cat that sleeps atop your bookcase and occasionally descends to accept your food offerings.

      I actually give zero fucks! Let me explain. I had a TBI three years ago and now I live in a residential program. Looking for software dev work at the moment, I’ve been coding wince 2017. My life is basically an open book, I’ve told all my dirty little secrets to doctors since 2003 so I guessI really am all out of fucks to give
