Thanks for the amazing response and for convincing me to keep growing my hair everyone, I suppose the hassle is just one of the many things one puts up with when trying to be different and liking metal. The following show some of the many names my 'friends' call me due to my long hair (you may find some amusing!!):
- Wild man
- Lange Haare man (German for long hair man -I think-)
- Laurence Luwelln Bowen (famous UK interior decorator)
- Byron (famous romantic poet -I think-)
- Hair man (highly original!!)
- Renaissance boy
The first time I grew my hair out (1988-1995) was when Strar Trek the Next Generation was on the air. Because of my size and my mane I was called Warf. I thought that was pretty cool!
I wish I had a cool name nickname like that; thanks!
None of those names are ofensive. Actually i would take them, espcially Byron and renaissance boy, as a compliment.
Yes maybe your right, Byron and renaissance boy could be taken as a compliment. A recent addition to my list of names, and a current nickname, happens to be 'the Keatster' which was adapted from, my favourite poet, John Keats who also happened to be a famous romantic poet who died of consumption.
