I love my name, Hazel means God looks over and I like the way it is. I have never desired for another name because Iw as justly named by my parents. I just pity my classmates when i was in gradeschool coz some of them were named after their grandfathers and others were juniors of their m fathers meaning they have old names. During those younger times many of my classmates tease those who have not so nice names and start name calling them and adding funny tags ont heir names.

I am pretty comfortable with my name (Brian), but sometimes I secretly wish I had a dorky name like "Bubba". I'll tell you what - if you change your name to "Bubbet Hazel" then I'll change my name to "Bubba Brian"

I love all my names! I am named after my father and my middle name is my mothers fathers name! Also my name is very old! I am called David which means; Beloved, it is from the bible and i know that you already know that, but it doesn't sound old! Whatta you think? Take care Hazel! Do you have green eyes? I think Hazel means green in my country.

I am one of those who likes some of the old names actually. I like Joaquin, Julian, Jose, Juan, Pedro, Marcela, Cofradia, Diosdada. LOL! I really think it has more character. Both of my daughters has MARIA in their names. While growing I keep on thanking that I wasn't named Dalmacia (bec. it sounds like a dog!) by my parents which they originally planned to name me but thanks to very insistent cousin, I was named Cheryl which I think suits me very well.

I am very proud of my name, Cathie. My parents named me and I am proud to wear it. I have always liked my name for some reason. My mama's name was Hazel. I think that is so neat.

Wow Cathie sounds cute with a twist in the spelling. Its also a coincidence that we have the same name with your mother.

I had always wished I had a different name, only because there were so many Amys when I was growing up. All throughout school I had to always add my last initial to all my papers and when a teacher called for Amy, all the Amy's in the room would yell, "Amy who". In my 6th grade class, we had 3 Amys! I always wished I had a more unique name, so that I didn't feel like when I call someone I had to say, "This is Amy ________ ", I could just say this is _________ and they would automatically know who they were talking to.

Well I guess you have alreadt coped with your name by adding your initials after your first name. There are also many Amys her ein our country and it goes well with their family names always.

My parents were going to call me Augustine, because I was born on his day. Fortunately, the decided to name me after my father's grandfather, Michael. Much easier to handle than Gus, I reckon.

I dont really mind my given names at all. My first name is Kathy meaning pure and the second one is Dawn meaning the break of day. So my names means the pure break of day so that is kinda cool how they both go together it think. I am just glad i am a girl though my family names was Hardy and some of the boys at school thought they would change it to a not so nice version of it i really didnt like that much then they wonder i wouldnt date them lol. But i got married and that part changed thank god i am separated now and people asked when your divorce comes through will u go back to your maiden name i say no way lol. I got rid of it and i dont want it back.

They say that the child usually behaves after what the child is maned after and this also is reflected in the behavior of the child. Can I know your name and the meaning of it if its ok with you?

I can't think of any other name that I'd rather use aside from the one I have now. So I guess yeah, I sort of like my name the way it is. :)

I like my name Mark Anthonie, but i don't know where did my parents came up with the different spelling of ANTHONIE. I love it coz of that spelling for me its unique to have the different spelling of the common name ANTHONY. But still there are some problem because when I need a legal document I always emphasize on the spelling.

I never wished for another name. I might get more than two names if I do. LOL. I have two lovely names: Maria Theresa. It is a combination of an old and a younger name. LOL. My name sounds like that of a saint, very obvious. So I love my names and my parents and granny for giving me the name!
