Haha! I was gonna ping some people and say "but hey, /I/ own that name!" but I guess people didn't realise to answer with the names they own. X) *resists the pinging*

I was gonna fill this out, but then it dawned on me... I'm super lazy! 😱 So I shall not. That is all. ;D

@elluwah

Yeah, I was like that too, especially when people all started naming Albert Einstein as scientist, while I actually own the name Albert (refers to a manga character though *blush* I hadn't even realised it could refer to one of the most famous scientists around as well XD).

And about the laziness, I was pretty lazy too, I didn't fill in all my manga/anime names, cause it would've taken me like an hour and multiple posts XD
