Do you have a popular name, that you just hate?
Like Brown ,Smith or Johnson .How does that make you feel ? .Some persons are annoyed by the fact there name is common. They feel even worse when someone turns up with the same first and last names as themselves like Steve Smith (no offense Steve Smith if you are on mylot lol ).This situation they find even more annoying when they are in a crowd ,probably waiting for a long time in a line and someone call their name and they reach the front of the line only to be told “not you the other Steve Smith” aaaaargh.
Do you have a popular name ? ,do you wish you could change your name ?.

my name is fairly common and ordinary, but it is not one that causes me any problems. I have never heard anyone use it in a movie or anything, so I guess I am lucky in that aspect...

My mylot name was a name I was going to use for a business idea I was toying with about 12 years ago. I didn't ever get the business going, but I have kept the name in the back of my mind over the years. I decided to use it when I signed up for mylot...

My name is really common, And when i was in hs i was asked if i gave good "head" alot... And finally i went to the park and I saw the grafiti on the swing set and there was even a number on it so i actually called the chick and told her about it. LOL She was kind of weirded out. But so was I.

I would like to change my name despite it isn´t very common. The reason for that is a famous cyclist of my country is called as I do. Name and surname. Everytime someone asks for my name (librarian, dentist, medical and so on) makes the same comment: "Oh, just like the cyclist, it´s funny". When this incident happens I use to say a little saddened: "Yes, I know".
It´s very stressing. I am tired.

I have an extemely popular last name but that wasnt always the case. For 15 1/2 years my married name was horrable, no one could ever prounce it & I was always having to spell it. Mail would come with the wrong spelling, very aggrivating! After I divorced I took my plain jane maiden name back and I love it!! So much that if I ever marry again, I hope he has the same last name as me. lol :)
