What NAME do you wish your parents had given you?

Marcela, goddess of the heavens, what a beautiful name. People with this name are "good with money and are able to make a balance between the physical and spiritual world." I wish my parents have named me Mimosa. I could have very well changed my name, but why waste hard-earned money for that. So, I use Mimosa as a nickname. Have a lovely day, Marcela.

I am so sorry for you, but I have the same feeling with you. My first name is Xiguo, Xi means small or little. Because I have a big brother, whose name contains the character 'guo', my name name is given by adding 'Xi' before 'guo'. so I will always be a little boy due to my name. Especially when other people asking what meaning my name is, I can't how to answer it. Actually, I would like my name is 'Guoqiang' or 'Guowei', because both 'qiang' and 'wei' mean very man and strong in my hometown.

LOL. I think Marcela is better than my first name though. My first name is Criselda. I don't have any idea why my parents chose that name. Like yours it's like antique or something like that, sometimes, it's even connected to one sexy star. Hehehehe. If I could choose a name, I think I would chose something nicer and more common. Hahahha.

my name is sarah mea ,i am comfortable with my name because its sounds like a pretty girl but in some instant way im not suit with my name sarah mea coz im not pretty enough to bring this name hehehe

Anything other than my name. I hate it. It's common and it seems that a lot of other women have it. I think I would like something like SaMarah or something unique but oh well.

My first name is Angela, I find it common and ordinary but but some of my friends will always say that it's beautiful. (maybe compliment?) hehe.. If I could wish for another name that had given by my parents it think it will be leila, rain or combined.. honestly, I have reservation of names at the back of my mind.

i always wish my parents would have given me more of an exotic or creative name than my name. so to that end, i have shortened it down to cher. i also wish i could rename my kids to something more exotic than the name we picked for them! lol!

I think Marcela is a lovely name and very unique. I have a common first name and wish my parents had chosen something more special. You can change your name if you like but I chose never to do that. I would have preferred to have been given my mom's first name which is what my dad wanted but my mom didn't want that for some reason. So while it bothered me some when I was young, it doesn't bother me at all now. Take care!

my name is arun. i think my parents had kept me a nice name. i really don't have any complaints over my name. i don't think there is anything in the name its only think what we do will make a impression on our name. now a days people search some modern names in net. even a week before my friend has asked me to search some good names in net that start with (sa) for his brother's son. i took a list and given some nice names.

hello! well, I would like that my parents give me another name, because I really like my name that I have now, and it has a great meaning and importance to me!

As someone named after my dad's high school girlfriend (how my mom let him get away with this, I will never know), I have thought about changing my name. I even considered using my middle name instead. But then I started liking the meaning of my name (helper of mankind) and realized my name fit me. I think Marcela sounds exotic and beautiful and I'm sorry some silly kids made fun of it. I had the same problem with my last name.

My real name should have been ELEANOR but something happened. There was this nurse who spelled my name incorrect at the hospital's documents or whatsoever. the nurse putted ELEONOR instead of ELEANOR. It's really annoying. I prefer my original name.

My aunt's friend is also Marcela, and we call her Mars. I think Marcela is a nice name. For me, I'd love to be named Josephine, after my grandmother, or Sofia.

Hi Marcela, before any name that's ends with letter A sounds old but now a days its a spanish name. If I'm given a chance to chance my name it would be Grace. I like the name and it sounds so great.

Hello Marcela :) I don't think you have a bad name. There are others who have worst name as yours. Honestly I know some who I pity so much because of their christened names. In fact your name is one of the names I would like to have as my own. I love the name Marcella because it sounds foreign and it's the same name of my favorite character in the story book I used to read when I was young: Raggedy Ann and Andy :) Marcella was the girl who owns those two ragged dolls and she's a cute and very kind girl that's why I love her. Anyway regarding your question; well I admire some names like yours and those princesses names like Dianna and Margarette, but I would never trade my name for other names. My full name is Cecille Carmela, and my mom chose that name for deeper reasons. "Cecille" came from the name of my patron saint St. Cecilia whose feast day falls under my birthday November 22, and "Carmela" came from the name where my mom used to pray Our Lady of Mount Carmen. Carmen also means "garden". :) According to superstition, naming your child from a saint or from a church means that she will grow up saintly; and so I have come to believe I have those two names because my mom clearly wants the best for me. St. Cecilia by the way is a patron saint of musicians and true enough, I am an artistically-inclined person who appreciates both nature and beauty. My names say many things about me so I am so much proud of my name ;) I think your name has a meaning too.. so don't be ashamed of that. Your name might sound classic, but honestly you have an elegant name ;))

Hi marcela, I am one of those who is always asking dad of all the names why this lousy name for a person like me. :) He just smiles. :) I would have preferred something like Hemangini, or Tejaswini. Even Anandi would be good. I wanted my name to end with "ee" at the end. Now everybody calls me vandoo - it sounds terrible.

On the first day at school I met many girls and for the first time I got to hear so many different names. I came home and sobbed and told my father what I had discovered and that I would want my name changed!! I wanted them to change my name to Flossy - ugh!!- now when I think of it!!

O cmon! I love the name better than modern names. Marcela is one such classy, antique and sophisticated name. I love names such as these- Marcela, Marelisa, Dayana, Miguel, Pablo, Miguelito, Juan, Manuel. You may say I'm too outdated but hey! These names are just pronunciation-friendly and easy to remember. At the same time, sophistication is all over. But it depends on the person really.

I like my name, Peggy. I'm glad my parents didn't let the hospital talk them out of the name, because it is a nickname for Margaret. AND I dislike Margaret, Maggie, Magpie, etc. I was named after Peggy Lee, the singer.

I don't like my name either; you see of 11 brood I am the only one who have a very obsolete name. Adding more injury my mom didn't even made it quite sounds good. I hope instead of Merced, how about Mercedes so I could be mistaken as the famous Mercedes Benz. Well I couldn't do something about it. I just wish I'll become rich so I could change my name. If I were to choose my name, I'll prefer to called Summer Breeze, the song from my favorite band, Seals and Crofts.
