I love my name. But if I was made to choose, I may want the name Ezra. It has a good meaning as well as it sounds good and not often used in my country. How about you what could it be?

Ezra is fine. I love my name too. But if I am to choose, I would like to be called Genesis. I am the first child and in the bible, Genesis is the first book.

So you really want to be first in everything. ha ha ha. But that's good. I too am the first born (i suppose) and wants to be first in everything and anything (for most part) except something negative. hahaha

Ezra sounds good. Along with a good meaning, it should make you happy. But, you love your name as it is. Maybe you can use Ezra as a nickname. If I were to choose my own name, it would be Mimosa or Chameleon. Maybe Mimosa for the first name and Chameleon for the middle name. Why don't we try it right now? Bwahaha. Have a nice day, Ezra. From Mimosa :-)

Yeah, you're right, it funny and awkward, isn't it? But as long as it creates a smile on our faces, that's great facial exercise. And a nourishing food for the soul, too. Keep smiling, jaymar! :-) :-) ;-)

Ezra does sound good. I like my name already, but I also like Lestat...the vampire in Anne Rice's novel.

I have never really thought about having another name. My great great uncle was named Ezra. I love the name.

That's nice to know lilybug. I'm really amazed with your numbers. I hope I will have the same discipline to reach that same number.

hi! well, I also like my name very much and I really don't want to change it, but if i must change it now, I would like to name Vasil Levski or just Levski, because this is the most important and the greatest person in the Bulgarian history, a man who has given his life for the motherland, a man with many feat of arms

He must have been a very great and influential man to you. One of the greatest figure in my country and one of my influences, I don't like his name (literally). hahaha. But he is a very good man.

hi jaymar777 I do not love my name as its got a nasty meaning in 'the dictionary Patsie, or the way they spell it Patsy, now who'wants to be a patsy for anyone, but wou ld love to have the name Patricia as 'that is where it came from any way. but I am too old and have too many places where my name is used to bother changing it now. Just think of all the legal hassle it would involve like social security, ssi, your health insurance, the irs, etc etc. etc. so will use my given name.

i dont want to choose my own name as im already contented with my name as its my parents who use it. whatever my parents want to call me then thats it. they have the right to give me name as they are the one who created me and give life to me. its just like you invented or created a certain things and if your done or finished with it you give that a certain name, so its just the same as with my parents. if i choose name then maybe not for me but for my kids.
