my nickname is ... & my real name is ...

[erik.van.geit]

in the draft-thread, post 462 (or close to that), StACase suggested to start a thread showing our real names
not sure if anyone would be interested to do so, but if you don't try, you don't know
here it goes: first nickname then real name

Since we're baring, (bearing?) all - I guess they both work, here goes;
to my buddies - Vinny
to my siblings - bro
to my staff - Vincent
to my neighbour, (recent immigrant) - Mistuh Veence
to my creditors, (they use my Chinese name) - Heyyou!
to my wife, (I blush) - Hey Handsome
to my ex - (unprintable)

There's only one of me in the whole wide world. I'm Tina. My middle name is Marie, but most people who use my middle name use Maria. My last name begins with a P and rhymes with Tina AND Maria. (My parents either had a twisted sense of humor or never said my name out loud before it became official.)

That's all the clues you get, especially since I gave my location.

Hi Tina:

This is an excellent opportunity to write a VBA procedure to test various concatenations with substitutions of both of your given names. Could be a handy little snippet for use in other projects.

I'll give it a bash. If anyone else out there can help solve this fun riddle, I placed Tina in cell A1 and Maria in B1. Possible solutions will appear in C1:C...

Tina, for the sake of your privacy, you might consider not publishing the winning entry to the entire board, unless you really don't mind your fellow enthusiasts knowing.

Cheers,
Vince

Oh, man! I forgot I was dealing with exceptional folks who could solve this riddle without reading the phone book.

It's a good challenge, go for it.

 

[Island Vince]

Great, get back to you soon.

My last name begins with a P and rhymes with Tina AND Maria.

For some reason this is making me think of Christopher Columbus' three ships!

Is it Pinamaria?
