Change your name

hi dorannmnwin I still dislike my name but compared to all the legal hassle of a name change on all legal documents, I have decided Patsie is not the worst name you could have. I wanted to change it to Patricia which is what it came from. to me Patsie sounds like the word patsy meaning someone who everyone uses for a fall guy.So it has a lousy connotation. but my husband had a cute nick name for me,he called me Pattytricia a lot and that made me laugh. He knew how I really disliked my name.here people tell me its a very pretty name but I just do not get it. lol.

the other name that my parents were thinking of amy instead of my name. i guess i would like something exotic but i know my daughter doesnt like her name either so its funny how most dont like it.

I think everyone at one time or another has wanted to change their name to something more exotic. Something more common if they have an unusual name and something more uncommon if they have a regular name. I have wanted to change my name many times in life, but having worked for years in gentlemen's clubs I have been able to change my name every time I changed jobs if I wanted to. I won't bore you with the names, but I think everyone has wanted to change their name at one time or another.

OMG, that is hilarious! Here you wanted to change your name because it was unique and here I wanted to change mine because it was so common! I think it was back in 6th or 7th grade that I wanted a different name. I wanted my name to be Roxanne. I don't know why I picked that name, other than I really liked how it sounded at the time! LOL To this day I think my name is rather plain. But I'm happy with it now and never plan on changing it. Happy mylotting!

no i never thought in reality to change my name properly so for the moment it is ok as so..you also consider that if you chnage your name you should also tell this fact to all you know it will result uncomfortable...eheh

Everyone will like to change their name mainly for fashion. Even i also do that my real name is paulraj but i like my friends to call me as raj only.

Back when I was growing up there were many times I hated the name Tina, and wanted to change it. I wanted to always change it to Melody and sometimes wished I could have. The main issue was having to use a last name, from when my Step Dad adopted me that bugged me worse, and when I could I did change it back to the name I was born with for sure, until I got married. Now I really like my name and so it never comes to mind to want to change it anymore as well.

My current name was already more than good (and nice) enough. So I don't need to change my name and never will. I thanked my parents who have chose good name for me.

When I was a kid I disliked my name.. but as I grew up I got used to it. I'm happy with my name now.

When i was younger, i often wished that i had a common name like so many other girls did. i didn't appreciate having a name that was a bit different. now it's the trend to have a name like no other. i do have more appreciation for my name now that i am older. Looking back, i'm glad i kept the name I was born with after all.

I don't like my name at all, but I guess I just forced myself to like it all these years because now that I think about it, it's not really that bad. I do lie about my name sometimes though, especially when I order something in, say for example, Starbucks. That's when my name is Bridgette. It's my favorite screen name. Haha. I like Georgina too. I'll name them for my future kids instead. :) Good day!

I actually did. I never liked my first name, so I've always gone with my middle name. And then when I got to high school, I came up with a unique spelling of my middle name, and I have used this name ever since. Although I did not make the change legally, I have used this name at everywhere I work. It is even useful in the current industry that I am in. I could sign off things, but legally I am not responsible for it.

Well , what is your real name? My name is Bhubaneshwar, meaning 'lord of the universe'; my nick name is Bhuwan, i like both the names, don't like to change at all. Thanks for sharing Cheers. BE HAPPY ALWAYS. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

Hey there, My story is just the opposite of yours. When I was younger, I really hated my name coz it was very common. Very common really, I had a neighbor with the very same name, a teacher, 2 junior students with whom I was close with. But since high school I started to feel OK with it and now I'm really very OK with it coz I'm in a different place and as a foreigner, my name's really unique :)

For me not to change it because I love to it my name it can make me nice and good person.

Yes, when I was a teenager I hate my name, It is bicause my name misspell. There is one Alphabet should write with "I" instead "Y" But as the time pass now I am greatful of my name, event there are some misspell I just enjoyed it. Anyhow I given by my parent.

My mother told me the meaning of my name is "Smart friend" so I have never thought of changing my name since i like the meaning of it.

I feel for you. I also have a unique name and I always have to correct the way someone spells or says it. I had to have some documents corrected because of errors in the spelling of my name. Nevertheless, I love my name because it is a combination of my dad's and mom's names. What I did is that I named my daughter a much common name than mine. :-)

Yes! I would really like to, a have a quite unique name but it resembles a surname here in our country. So some are confused if it is my real name or my surname :) Haha! And also it sounds old!! :)

Never in my life. I allways have been like my name.
