When I was younger, people are usually perplexed over my given name. Until now, it is prone to misspelling, mispronunciation that I often thought of using my second name so that people would at least know to call me (either personally or impersonally). since my name isn't that popular or well used, I searched the meaning of my name in the internet. It was a common joke in my family that my father literally owned me with my name. I found out that my name means 'goodness'. I was kinda surprised and thought that I should at least live to the meaning of my name.
Though 'goodness' is purely subjective, I try to do good things to people as much as possible. I don't impose, just advice. I guess my trying to live with my name makes me create a path for me in life and creates the people that I surround me. In a sense, it shapes who I am and perhaps, who am I becoming.
For me, a name isn't just a name. It's an embodiment of a person. Share your the meaning of your name and what it means to you.

I like original names.
People often mispronounce my name too because it is not very common here, but that's ok.

it doesn't matter what you're name. the important is you know yourself better than any body on this place. who wouldn't judge anyways? that's how it goes.
