Do you like your name?

Post Reply New Topic

I didn't like it growing up because
A. It is mostly a last name
B. Not many people 4 in my lifetime that I've heard of have it as a first name.

Now I love it.

My name is Anastasia. I like it because it's unique like me; not a lot of people around here are named Anastasia. Plus it can easily be shortened to Ana, which is simple and sensible. I think my mom chose the perfect name for me. ^^

I used to but that changed when that no talent little butthole justin bieber came out. Now people sometimes refer to be as biebs or some smart thing to say like that.

I dislike my old names since they are feminine, and I've changed them all except my last name. Well I haven't changed them legally yet, but I usually go by Alexander, or Alex, but my friends call me Dorian. I like both of them.

Dorian is a fabulous name.

I like my name a lot and I feel that it suits me, so I picked yes.

However, my name is very unusual, it is from a different culture and is not even common in that culture, so it stands out a lot. People are frequently asking me where I am from and what it means and what language it is and so on, and I really really don't like that. I don't want to give people who I don't really know my life's history, but I'm also not very good at knowing how to not answer questions without being rude, which I don't want to be.

I would definitely say be careful before giving children very unusual names, because even though I love my name it has certainly added stress to my life.

I like mine, as I picked it for very specific and very over-thought reasons.
However it is problematic sometimes as it's a bit uncommon and I don't speak very well, so it usually gets misinterpreted and I have to repeat myself a lot. People often ask "is that short for something?"
No. No it isn't.

Not particularly but it's the only name I've ever had, it's not something I'd ever change because I don't identify by any other name.

The only problem with my 'new' name is that a lot of people in the English speaking world can't pronounce it!

My name is Ezra Shea and I like it. Others seem to as well.

Shea is my middle name, not my last.
My family usually calls me Shea instead of Ezra as a nickname.
Most others call me Ez as a nickname.

My mother certainly didn't pick the perfect name for me!

To make my name easier, I use 'Annie'.

I do like my name. It's Emily. Without me being from Great Britain or America I've always been connected to the English language.
