Do you like your name?

Although I don't have any complaints about my real name, I did give myself a new name back in high school. All my friends call me with this name I've given myself. It's a way for me to separate friends from just acquaintances. I even have a signature made up with this name, which I use at work.

Your name is lovely with full academic meaning.But names are not our choice. It is given by our parents according to their whims and fancies but mostly they name a child either after some God or a saint or as with wonderful meaning like yours.The name is essentially meant for personal identification only. It serves no other purpose. But we attach great importance to the name.Parents sit together and look at the various name either for the boy or the girl and decide on the best name which both like.Though a good name is given to the child many times the parents call by their pet name and not by real name.Similarly as the child grows up friends and relatives call him or her by a different name altogether.We are supposed to love our name whether we like it or not.After they grow up some people change their names depending on various considerations..the present name is not lucky or it is not modern like that. Many people do not change ..may be due to respect for parents or why change attitutude. I am a Hindu and my name is Chayapathy... the name of Sun God according to our tradition.Chaya Devi is the wife of Sun God chayapathy is the husband of Chaya Devi.It seems my grand father who liked and admired a person by name chayapathy. So he insisted naming me as chayapathy.That is how my name has come.The person who was admired by my grand father was famous an enlightened. But I am not... but the name remained with me

I never liked my name especially when I was a child. At school I would find that there would be three or four of us sharing the same name, only that our names are spelled differently. The most confusing part is that our names would be pronounced the same way. In order to avoid confusion, teachers would call us by our last names and so the other children would follow suit. So all throughout my grade school and high school I was known through my last name. As I grew older and started working I began to like my name. It's because I can now use a nickname and everybody now calls me by my nickname, not by my last name. This includes my high school friends who have somehow learned to use my first name instead of my last name.

Thank You For Your Wonderful Post! For me...I really really love my name because it is given by my mother and father, and it unique for me. I love my Name because it symbolizes "belovedness", and "God is enough". those are the meanings of my name and I think it is enough for me to have that Name. I do believe that name is one factor of our success in this life and in the coming years. So to all people here...love your name...and see to it when you become parents, choose the best name for your children because it affects a lot!

yes i like my real name very much as it is unique.

Hi Bich Diep. Your name is nice. :) I am Vietnamese too but I was born and raised in the United States. I have never been to Vietnam before but I plan on sometime. My parents go though but I could not because I have to go to school. My name is Mai and obviously you know what it means - flower. I love my name but I wish my parents named me an American name as well.. they were supposed to name me Michelle but they didn't because they thought it was unfair to name me an American name along with a Vietnamese name when my older sister only has a Vietnamese name. So, I only have one name but my nickname for an American name is Michelle :) I like it.

I can't say I don't like coz it's given to me by my parents. Last time when I was young, about 5 or so, I didn't like the name coz it doesn't sound good to me. But I've come to realize that there probably has a meaning inside, which was why my parents chose it, right?

My name isn't unique --- however i got some weird pet names.Like your name it is quiet different and more meaningful.great day and welcome to mylot

Hi Bich diep, My name is Aruna. It is a common name. But I like my name. The meaning of my name is "rising sun".It is used to denote someone who are bold!!! Thank you!!!

Yes I love my mane I had a time finding the picking the best one .

I really love my name because it's the first things people will ask you for the first the meet you. My name's KIm Long, it's mean a gold dragon. My parents gave me this name because they want in the future, I will very success with my job, my business and everything. I really love my name, and I proud about my name. Nice to meet you! Are you from vietnam?

Oh, so you're Vietnamese. I absolutely love my name. It means Dragon ^0^

I like my name a bit. You can't find many people with my name. Only know one person with my same first name. Though I hate when people mispronounce my name wrong. Really, it's not hard to pronounce my name, they just read it wrong.

i don't :( but it's fine with me, nothing i can do about it anyway. it's a mix of my dad's and mom's name because i'm the eldest. then my second name was taken from one of the prettiest pageant candidates during the year i was born (according to my dad). well the second name is actually a famous sexy star's name here, so i don't think it sounds good for me because i'm a bit on the conservative side and my friends would always tease me about it. thank god for my nick name. i prefer to have it as my real name hehe.

My name is so-so. It's common in English. My name is Stephany and it's given by my aunt. It has a lot of nick names though..

I like my name because it is vey unique, however when I was in college I have seriously thought of having it changed because it sounds more like a man's name. It is from the Bible and it was from a woman but people still dont recognize it.

I love my unique hispanic name as no one anywhere has my name. Due to myLot guidelines I will not post it here, but I can share that where I was born the nurses did not speak Spanish so they named me as It sounded to them and it is completely spelled wrong, but it has made me feel unique and special. Now as for my aka name hardworkinggurl, yep that is me too.

My mother gave me an ordinary name. When I grown up, i asked her what's the meaning of my name. Mom told me that it doesn't have a significant meaning, I gave you this name just want you to grow happily and healthily.

Hi!!! Have a nice day ahead.. Ahm..yes of course i like my name cause my parent choose it.. So I'd like to.but sometimes i don't like my name for being a shy person..

Yes, I like my name. It means "peace" in Greek. It's a common name but it's a unique in a way because it's me.
