Speaking of names; Do you like yours? If not, what would you change it to?

[HEyHEY]

I like mine, It's Jeremy. But if I had a choice I'd be either Charlie or Foster.

[MissMillie]

1. I like my name

It's old-fashioned, but that's ok with me. It's a family name and I'm proud of my family.

My name is Mary Alice

[unpossibles]

2. I like mine, although people often mess it up

and I considered going by my middle name, which is an old family name, until some celebrity ruined it for me.

[HEyHEY]

3. Is your middle name "Liberace"?

[unpossibles]

7. worse

think of a certain prima donna who is recently in jail again.

[HEyHEY]

8. yikes

[Aristus]

4. I wish my name was Jamessir Bensonmum.

I think I'd like that. B-)

[Heidi]

5. It's okay, I guess.

I sometimes have a sense, in business, that especially male colleagues think my first name is goofy or too American. :shrug:

[Left Is Write]

6. My name is fine.

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. I'm reminded of the old joke

about the guy who went to court to have his name changed.

"And what is your name?" the judge asked.

"Joe Shit."

"Well, no wonder you want to change it. What would you like to change it to?"

"Sam Shit."

"Let me understand this: Your name is Joe Shit, and you want to change it to Sam Shit?"

"Yes, your honor."

"Why would you want to make that change?"

"I'm sick of all my friends saying, 'Hello, Joe! Whaddya know?'"




:hide:

[Critters2]

10. I was just complaining to a friend

about how people CANNOT pronounce or spell my last name. And that makes no sense! It's 6 letters, each one doing its job. Looks like it's pronounced, pronounced as it's spelled. I guess it looks ethnic--German, but again, doesn't have any odd letter combinations or anything. There's a story about me on the local radio station the last couple of days (nothing really, quotes me at a community meeting) and they keep mispronouncing my name!! My perfectly pronounceable name! Which means they'd mispronounce anything but "Smith" (though that "th" thing can be tricky!). So, I'd keep my last name, I guess.

And I've come to like my first name. It's fairly common, but not to the point where it's boring. Not in the top 10, but not so exotic as to be weird. And even morans seem to be able to pronounce and spell it.

So, I guess I'd keep 'em.

[pagerbear]

11. Mine is just fine.

It's David. If you call me Dave, I will kill you.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

38. Only my Mom calls me Joshua and it's only when I'm in trouble

:hi:

:hug:

[Eurobabe]

12. I legally changed my first name in January 2006

I always HATED my real first name, and I LOVE my new name, I had been using it officially as a nickname for about 6 years anyhow.

When the judge said, permission granted, I felt like I was a new person! Goodbye to that hideous old name!!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

13. I'd change it to something more pronounceable.

Like Lance Uppercut. :D

[skygazer]

14. I hated my name as a kid but think it's okay now

It's kind of old fashioned but I like the fact that I was named for my two aunts. On the other hand, when I go to Jamba Juice and they ask me my name, I use Kate because they have to ask me three times what my real name is.

[anarch]

15. Turd Fergusson. It's a funny name.

[BarenakedLady]

16. I like it I suppose

Sort of neutral. I'd like a cooler name.

[greendog]

17. I share my name with one semi-famous person, a pro hockey...

...player. If I were to change it, I'd change it for him and keep it to myself.

[AggieGal]

18. Thought my name was hicklike

until I heard my coworker's full name. Then I felt better! :)

I feel like people with bad names should get a free name change.

[bikebloke]

19. Mine was the result of an ego trip

A junior. In fact was supposed to be lesser clone of my father, but turned out taller, smarter and with more common sense. He didn't like. Once he told me I should name my kid after him. I said the kid gets his own name. He wasn't happy with that either. Better yet, my parents won't have descendants from me.

After I become emperor or demigod, I'll decree that people get to choose their own parents and names.

[hyphenate]

20. My given name is Mary

and that's what most people call me. My family calls me Marie, but only my family. I like Mary. It's gotten a little unusual nowadays, but that's fine. :)

[Redstone]

23. That happens to be my favorite woman's name.

Redstone

[ikojo]

21. I HATE my name....my dad was catholic

so I have a VERY, VERY catholic first name. ICK.

I'd change it to something very Jewish, so there would be NO doubt as to my Jewishness. I like Soshanna.

[ironflange]

25. Margaret, right?

That's about the Catholicest name I could think of.

[ironflange]

26. delete

wrong spot.

[Redstone]

22. Well, I'm not too happy about my daddy naming me Sue, but I've learned to cope.

Redstone

[TOhioLiberal]

24. My real first name...

used to be fairly common, but not so much anymore. It's Karen.

I think I'll keep it. Although I do like the name Alexandria.

[ironflange]

27. I like my name. Jack.

Friendly and kinda playful, and used in lots of usable phrases. I never have to spell it either, but the last name is another story.

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. I used to work with a guy whose name was pronounced Jack...

but it was spelled Jacque.

My father's name was John, but he was always called Jack.

[ironflange]

33. Same here

I'm officially a John, but nobody calls me that. It's John in the phone book, though, so it's easy to spot cold calls. "Hi, John! How are you today?"

[bertha katzenengel]

28. I would change my name to Bertha.

It suits me.

[mzteris]

29. I was never crazy about it

growing up.

I wanted to be named

APRIL. (the month I was born)

Or maybe: Alessandra or Tessandra

or - Leigh

or something cool.....

I don't dislike it anymore - but it still doesn't seem to FIT me, you know?

Like it's not really *my* name or who I am.

:shrug:

I wonder who I should be, instead?

[MsKandice01]

30. When I was growing up, I hated my name (Candice)

Now I like it and think it suits me just fine.

When I was younger, I wanted to be named Tatiana. I have no idea why.

[greatauntoftriplets]

32. I like my name just fine...

the triplets' mother shares it. Even our middle names are similar, though I am Kathleen and the triplets' mother is Catherine, so named for her father's mother.

:D

My sister named us both.

[ronnykmarshall]

34. I sort of changed mine

My birth name is "Ronald", but I never went by it in school and never used it on any legal document other than my birth cert.

My accounts, my license, ss number and passport all have "Ronny" on them.

[av8rdave]

35. I'm fine with mine

[KG]

36. James Tiberius

:hi:

[Writer]

37. My name is fine. However, when pronounced correctly it sounds snobbish...

way too continental, if you know what I mean.

I'd rather be Sue Smith. It's a much more marketable publishing name. When I finally hit the print, I'm hesitant to use my real name.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

39. as a child i hated it because every other person was named priyanka

since i moved to this country i like it a lot more.

[krispos42]

40. I'm not particularly fond of my first name

It has one syllable. So does my last name.

I don't mind being either one seperately, but the combination together is abrupt.

However, I'm not inclinded to change it, either.

I like the name that my son has: Samuel Ellis <lastname>.

[Rob H.]

41. I like mine just fine, but sometimes wish I'd chosen

to go by my middle name, which is Derek, since it just sounds cooler than Rob. No one has ever called me "Bob," though--well, not twice, anyway. :P

[Richard Steele]

42. I like mine a lot- wouldn't change it. People remember it! nm

[SarahB]

43. No problem, mon.

Like my name.

[Blue-Jay]

44. Clearly I remember picking on the boy.

Seemed like a harmless little fuck.
Oh, but we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget?

[asthmaticeog]

45. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.

[Lyric]

46. My name isn't terrible--Brandy--but

I do wish I'd gotten something a bit more adult-sounding. My middle name would work-- "Leigh" :hi:

[graywarrior]

47. I think Cleopatra suits me better.

[terrya]

48. I like Terry.

It's a nice name. Plus, wonderfully androgynous. :-)

[TK421]

49. I've always liked mine ( Mark ) although in grade school the stupid kids

would make it rhyme with other shit ( bark, shark, etc... ). I just punched them in the stomach.

I miss grade school sometimes.....:(
