Charagrin is a male! - The Firearms Forum

Bruce FLinch · 11-16-2007, 11:24 AM

Ok People, let's get this straight. Charagrin is a male person! I think I was the first person to refer to Char as a female. I've noticed a few more people have recently done the same. ( I have to admit it gives me a chuckle )

Cher, Char, you get the point. So again my apologies , Char! But I admit to use a name like that teaches you to get a thick skin. Having the name Bruce & being in the SF area in the 70's & 80's, I was subject to a bit of harrassment. I learned to get over it,....eventually. Just don't call me Brucie!

So to lighten things up a bit...I can think of a few other names that are Gender Interchangeable ( ooo, that sounds wrong!

)

Leslie
Marion
Terry ( Terri )

What other names can you think of?

Carol, Sam (for Samantha or Samuel) and the infamous Francis (male) v. Frances (female)

I know a guy named Kim...No Joke

Theres also a friend of my dads names Cotton...You DON'T mess with Cotton! I think his name toughened him up over the years, but he is just plain crazy and will "go off" in a heartbeat.

I always liked the name, Robert the Bruce, such a cool Scottish name IMO....

It always reminds me of that Rick Springfield song, "They Call Me Bruce"

njretcop · 11-16-2007, 03:30 PM

Remember this guy from about 40 years ago?

… ya doesn’t has to call me Johnson. You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Johnny …

cohoskip · 11-16-2007, 03:56 PM

There are a lot of guys named Kim in Korea

LMAO!!! That's funny! I have had several nicknames over the years. We moved when I was 16 so I had to start a new school--didn't know a soul! After the first day of school, I was driving home and got a little *cough cough* impatient (VERY out of character for me*ahem!*) and passed a school bus on a hill. I didn't think much about it (unfortunately, I'm serious!) and the next day quite a few people knew me (or of me, I should say) and everyone started calling me "Hot Rod". A lot of people didn't even know my real name!

But, Firebird is one of the most recent and certainly the most meaningful to me, personally.

delta13soultaker · 11-16-2007, 07:40 PM

Right now I know a Charli who is very very much female

And a Jackie and a Hazel who are certainly male and not the type a sane stranger would pick on about their name either lol (A guy with a girl's name prolly came up tough ya know...like Johnny Cash sang...)

Dang I know four Jackie's....3 F and 1 M

berto64 · 11-17-2007, 08:02 PM

Went thru AIT with a fellow from Ohio named Carroll. (first name)

armedandsafe · 11-17-2007, 08:30 PM

My nickname in high school was "Slats." Bob Lilly gave me that name, so I wore it proudly. He said when I ran into him it was like getting hit with a slat! Of course, since he was about 6' 2", 190lbs and I was 6' 0", 125lbs at the time might have had something to do with it!

When I went into the RA, they threatened to give me an extra rifle to carry, so they could see where I was.
