Are You Happy With Your Name?

I'm happy with my first name. It's common, but spelled very differently than most. I don't really like my middle name, but it's not the worst name in the world. If I had been born a boy, my name would've been Christopher Ray. My name is Chrystal. My sister's name was Christina. So, even though we were both born girls, the Chris name theme, I guess you could say, stuck. We both were also named after family members. My middle name came from my aunt's name. My sister's middle name came from my grandma's middle name. My name has a bit of family history, and I won't change it. =)

My first name is Michele. I don't have any problem with that, but people always want to shorten it to Shelly, and I absolutely abhor that name!

I would first like to thank you for an interesting topic. About names, i dont really mind my name and i seriously think that no one should be upset with his/her name. It what you do with it? A person could have a name that means something so bad but because of his may be good attitude he could become a symbol for strength. Names are how we get to know each other, but how we treat one another is key. When Oprah was becoming famous but her company and sponsers at first suggested to change her name to something like Suzi but she refused. And how do people react when they hear OPRAH.. I guess everyone can say what they want but at the end of the day she is a respected woman in society...from a name that 100 years ago many people would consider that name as unpopular and probably weak. So its what you do with the name really... ;)

yas i am very happy with my name

My first name is Sara. I like my name a lot but I agree with what you said I would have loved to have a more exoctic name. I want to give my kids unique names one day when I am older, but I guess in a way it would be a bad a day. I grew up around a lot of kids from other countries and I always loved there names. My family is Italian but my name is not at all. However, I am what I am and I think Sara fits me really well.

My first name is Hero and I'm pretty much satisfied with it. My mother give it to me because at the time of my birth there is a revolution in our country and she thinks that i might be the Hero the people is looking? lol.. funny way to have a name i guess, but I'm still thinking am i the chosen one?

In my case, my name is sort of commonplace too. On the first day of the year in high school, the teacher took attendance by calling people out by their first name. When mine came up, about five of us harmoniously replied with, "Here." It's laughable that in a large roomful of people, if someone called out my first name, several would probably respond.

My name is Marco. I like it

Yeah, i am happy with my name. It means king of gods, isn't that good?

I never think of changing my name. I don't wanna bother myself with such things. The name is just used by others. I don't care it's common or not.

I partly like and pertly dislike my name.My full name is Gurumoorthy.I like being called Guru alone.I just hate pattabiraman.I do not know the reason behind this but the 2nd half of my name just irritates me.

I can say this i was not very happy when i was a teenage girl but now I love my name. I think teenage girls always dream so mnay thing that they expect more and more from everything as I used to think if my name would be "this" or "that". may be there was no reason. Actually i love my name and it is given by mom and dad out of their immense love for their child so how could i dislike it? Happy time friend

I do like my name now. But I didnt like my name in my childhood. I dont know the reason though. Infact, I had a fight with my parent for having me this name in my childhood. But later when I grew up, I started loving my name. Even for loving my name now, I dont know the reason. But usually people say, your name will be the sweetest word to hear, when it is said by your lover. What do you think about this ?

I'm italian, my name is Giovanni. I don't like it at all...i don't know why..but in italy sounds like a grandfather's name...and i don't like when they call me..so i prefer if they use an abbrevation...for example giovi..giova..gio..this is my first post..sorry for my bad enaglish...but i'm trying to learn. bye

mama mia! My name is a combination of my mom and dad.. Joselyn it is.. but I was happy that since my childhood years they call me joy.. but if I can change it.. hmm I love the name Kirsten. or maybe the name Antoniette Jhoy.. ( aj is antoniette jhoy in aj2006.. she's my daughter!) :)

I love my name, and it is a two-word name.. Though I've seen many people with the same name as mine.. keep smiling.. ^^

yes i'm very happy with my name because every name has its own attitudes...

Sometime ago I was not pleased with my name because being in the province most people pronounced my name incorrectly. And often times my classmates and playmates makes fun of my name because when being pronounce incorrectly it sounded like a bird and it annoys me a lot. But when I went to college where most of my classmates and instructors say my name with the right pronounciation I just then realized how Lovely it sound (,")

Yeah, i like my name. but andre is a pretty common name. so i tell people to call me by my middle mane, Geovanne, or just Geo. but still, i have stuff with big "A"s on them. if im going to get stuff to go with "GEO" it would have to have thoes three letters.

Yes ! Certainly i am Happy with my name.the name shows my identity.& its important identity.
