My first name, Diana, I think it's great!

My second name, Laura, I don't like it and I don't know why.

Everyone has my name Heather. I'd like a more unusual name, like Liliana or Serenity.

Lucky you! Last semester, there were four other Heathers in my English class! And in eighth grade, there were three other Heathers in my gym class and my family consumer science class! It's really common if you're born in the late 80s especially.

Nope. I fought to hard to keep people from mispronouncing/making fun of it.

I'd like to be called Lord Darkwind.

Failing that, you could call me Paul (my middle name) :)

The jury's out on that one, so that's why I don't go by that name :)
The only people who know me by that name are my mother, and everybody here.

John is such a boring, and somewhat wimpish, name. A toilet is named John. And a hooker's mark.

And no, my name's not Jonathan. My parents didn't like that name.

My middle name's not much better. Wesley. Might as well put a "kick me" sign on my back.

I've always hated Jonny, as being a diminutive, even more wimpish name than John. But lately I've adopted it (with an added "B", which I don't have in my real name) as a stage moniker. And it's sort of become me.
