guys i read a book that stating that the sweetest word and most important word in one person is their name, and i think that is true because you can't be recognize without your name. now do you really like your given name?where did your parents get your name?what is the most common name in the world?

Hi there prince_Anthony! I love my given name. My real name is very short. 4-letter name that is! I am very happy with my name. My parents gave it to me without having been influenced by anyone else. My real name makes me feel very special and precious. I am named after a precious stone..

no, i don't really like my name but i thank God that He gave me one =) my parents, or actually i thought it was just my mom and my aunt, when they were brainstorming over names, my aunt said that they name me after a local celebrity's daughter because the former celebrity has also just given birth. but that kid have a long name. it was two words and my mom thought i would have a hard time writing when i'll be in grade one since we already have a quite long surname. so they gave me this common name. if i had a say back then, i would want it to be longer like two words, example, maria ____ or paula something..lols..that's why i plan to give my child someday those kind of names..and since also i have a very common name, i would like one of my daughter's or son's name be so unique =) thanks.

My name is "Gabriel" and i want to change it as "Gabzhier" or "James"... i like those names. But as a sign of respect, i value my names to give respect to the name my parents gave me. As a matter of fact, the name "Gabriel" is also a name of the angel who is "Angel Gabriel"... My parents got my name from that angel, and i look like an angel too, my attitude, my looks and behavior are angel alike.... i guess my name is isn't bad after all....

i got my name from the usual parents' let's-combine-our-names scheme.. hehe. but i never had a problem with it. it's quite unique, that i've never met anyone who has the same exact name as i have. and to me that's cool. if ever i could choose any name, though, i would pick the name Isabel. i really have no idea why. it may be because that was my name in my past life? oh well. how do i know?
