Love your name?

I used to hate my name, but after some time I chose to accept it. My name is David Anthony Reedy David--comes from the Hebrew, and do to my lacking of keyboard/linguistic options I can't quite accurately present it. It would be something like Dahwud--meaning, "Beloved" Anthony comes from the Latin Antonius, and means something like "Worthy of Praise" and Reedy comes from the Irish Gaelic "Reidy" meaning "timid" or "trained". It's pretty cool when you learn what your name means.

My name is alright. I'm not in love with it but I don't hate it either. I'm not named after anyone it was just a name they liked and named me. It fits...it works and I'm ok with it.

I'm proud of my name, I actually have two first names. My first came from the month I was born, also one of jesus' apostles' name. My second name is from my father, who is a good provider and a very responsible person. I believe that everyone should be proud of their names, as this is what makes us different with one another..

Yes I also love my name but not enough.

I adore my first name. I am named after my mother. My middle name is a longer version of my mother's middle name and I do not like it at all. I have accepted it though. It is not the worse or the best. Oh, my mother was named after her aunt.

I would not really actually say that love would be the most appropriate word to exactly describe what I truly feel about my name, but perhaps like would be a more accurate word to precisely characterize the feeling I have for my name. My name is essentially taken from a prestigious vintage car, which easily exudes elegance and class. To be more contemporary, though, my name is the same as arguably the best ever Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu master, if not Ultimate fighter, who is undeniably an extremely amazing athlete. So, in response to your highly interesting question, mycharm88, I do not hate my name, obviously since I actually like it.

Yup, i like my first and middle names! My first name is the same as my fathers and my middle name comes from my mothers dad which is Alexander! I loved and admired both of these much loved gentlemen! Take care Mycharm. :)

My name is ok, my Mom picked it because there were movie stars that were popular with that name at the time. She did not expect a girl - my family only has boys, so my middle name was the first girls name she found in the phone book.

Hi there mycharm, well yeah i do love my name. My real name is Francis and my name was taken from a famous rapper before when i was born. And actually he's still famous. Yeah i am talking about Francis Magalona, and my mom always seen him in tv and movies before that's why they've got my name from Francis M. Have a nice day ahead and happy posting and earning here in Mylot. Godspeed, Kiko

When I was still in my school days, about Grade 4 or 5, I was really curious where my name came from and how my parents got it; so I decided to research on it. Computers and internet were not yet so popular and widespread at that time. I reminded myself to ask my parents about my name once we see each other but it has been put off for a long time because I'm not with them when I had my schooling. I was with my mom's aunt's family here in the city while my parents and siblings stayed in the province. When I finally remembered it, I took the chance to research on it. I even consulted the Webster's dictionary with Bibliographical and Geographical names with meanings on it. Here I finally found the meaning of my name; which is a Greek goddess of wisdom only in a different form; but I was quite satisfied. Somehow I knew that my mom added the letter h right after the goddess' name to signify her own name which started with this letter.

LOL! It took me a long time to accept my name, hahhahaha.... I was named after my parents first names and it was only when I was in my teens that I have accepted my name. My name is as plain as can be but then I feel thankful that my name turned out as it is compared to other people whose names were also the product of their parents' first names. You could not believe what weird sounding names can result from this practice, ugh!

Hello! Honestly, before I didn't like my name not really hate it but dislike it, and I did tell my mother that. I complained to her about my name. First it wasn't suppose to be how they would have named me, supposedly I should have a middle name like my brothers' [their middle name is our father's nickname] and mine should have been my mother's nickname. Unfortunately it didn't happen. Since i'm the first grandchild, my grandparents were so excited that my grandfather took the honor of registering my name. Result was, he misspelled it and no middle name. I actually had a problem with my name's spelling, as it was different from my birth certificate and baptismal certificate, so then I had to file a petition about it. Now, I can say I do like my name, I have learnt to love it after all these years of using it..*hehehehe* my name is not that bad afterall, *smile* ciao! =)

Well when i was young I didnt like my name but that was just b/c there was so many people with that name Amber but I love it now and wouldnt change it. I had so many choices to change my name i could of went with my initals Ana or my middle name Nicole. Im glad I stuck with my real name.

I love my name,..almost everyone I know loves it as well,..a very unique combination,and every time people hear it,they'll be amazed..I remember one time, I was able to pass a job interview just because the interviewer likes my name,kinda weird but it happens to me,..:-)It catches attention,people cant just help to ask me,hey!where'd you get your name?,.Thanks to my ever loving mom!

i love my name... i love it because it is my parents who give it to me and i respect them... anyway, it is a very nice and meaningful name... so i have no complain at all... :-)

Yes, I love my name, my friends. can I know where are you come from ? Good luck to you. best regards

When I was young I want to change my name given by my parents. I have always been using a pet name and I am more known to other people as the one I want to be called. Yet I realized I have a beautiful name as my parents want. I still love my real name and it will be my name forever.

Hi Charm, Hope u must be happy and doing well, Well i like my name very much and never thought of having other as it suits my personality Other thing how can u hate or dislike name given to u by ur parents with love when u were born. U know here in Pakistan, when we name our child so normally elders at home decide it, i mean grand parents, other may have their option, discuss them and then final a name, We also see the meaning of name ,it must be good, or if its name of some ancient hero or person. take care

Yeah... I love my name(Chinese name). It's unique,and i rarely heard someone have the same name with me. But my Christian is Alan,i heard many people this name. XD

I love my name. It used to be uncommon when I was in school, but now alot of people have little sisters or kids named Alana. My parents saw a Hawaiin family on family feud and a Lady had my name. They thought it was original and pretty. In middle school I went to school with Amy, Jennifer, Laura, and Teresa. I was always happy that I never required a nickname or last initial in class. It also encouraged me to be different. Everyne in my family has the initial D except me! I love being different.
