my name in real is MARY JEAN. SINCE I WAS STILL in my elementary grade, I have alittle bit dislike on my name. The reason is that it is a two-word name. its hard for me to write it faster in my paper. Until i found out when im in my high school, that my name has a beautiful meaning... its biblical from the name of Mary,,,the mother of Jesus Christ... and thats the time I appreciate my name more... What about you.. Do you like your name too?

I do like my name. It is somehow unique. I don't even know someone with the same name as mine. My name is Lhadel. I like it though I don't really know what it means or if it really has a meaning. But then, with or without, it is still meaningful for me since it was what my parents chose to give me.

i love my name since it has only three letters. it is derived from a plant that is poisonous. my dad found it in the dictionary. i love it because it's very short. i don't have regrets about having that name.

since given name is given that we have no choice but to take it,so is our first names,huhah! just a joke.well,yes,i like mine.not only because my parents give it to me with wishes and love ,but because it has a simple structure which enabel me write it fast in my paper.it used to be fun to watch people who have meaningful names that take longer time for them to fill in the first line in an exam.lol besides this,i love my name for its meaning "east rain",it always makes feel cool and fresh.rain,isn't it? well,i guess since we can't change it ,we'd better try to like it~~
