OT: C Viv and First Initials

[osceola48]

I never understood the "C Viv" thing. I figure either use your first name or if you don't like it, drop it and go with just Viv.

But okay boneyarders, can you name other people who have done this? I'll start the list:

Lots of J's. I could go with J. Paul myself, but it would seem an affectation, and not at all original.
