Your name

my name is taken from my religion holy book. it consists of two Arabic words so it is quite difficult to read and write. the meaning is the child who is delighted to see. my dad gave that name. i really like my name cos i always be the one which in the list. my name is started by Q and it is seldom people have name started with that letter. i also enjoy every time people get difficulty in writing my name. lol. for example if i register to a medical center to check my health. when the officer asked my full name, i answered as clearly as i can cos based on experience before, they always got difficulty in writing my name. and like i guessed before, the officer asked me to repeat ansewring. it lasted for at least three times till i decided to spell the letters one by one. lol. and this happened many times. it is often they even wrote my name incorrectly. the latest case was when i took my new id card in a government office. the officer shouted to call people one by one. i was in line with my husband. when my husband name was being called, i was ready to be called. but funny thing happened cos the officer couldnt read my nane. he just said 'Qu...Qu..Qu..' and not be able to read next. then i directly grabbed my card while saying 'that's me sir..!'..what is the name said Shakespeare..in fact, name is everything right? :)

I was Christened twice The first time was when I was given my name - my late maternal grandfather named me. And the name was Siddhartha. And all my life, this has been the most widely misspeled name I have come across. All my education certificates have different spellings of this name. The next time was in 2007 when Sids became official name of mine - and this time it was my Australian boss who had some complications in pronouncing the long Siddhartha But ever since he named me Sids, I have loved the name and it is my official name on the Internet. There is something (I dont know what) but I love this name more - maybe it is short and more like what my friends call me (of course without the second s). I remember I too once wanted to change my real name to something else, but I could never find any to my liking - Those days all I could come up with was Indian Names and at end, I always felt, what is wrong with what I have? At least that name is more complicated (and this was later confirmed when I recieved my educational certificates - each having a different version of my name).

Apparently my aunt[father's sister] named me and she blessed me saying I should excel in arts and knowledge and be like Goddess Kalaivani.I do not know why but right from young ,Goddess Saraswati[the Goddess of education and knowledge in our culture] had a special fascination for me and I used to love stories where knowledge triumphed over wealth.I used to look up to my intelligent father and had a secret yearning that my name could have been Saraswati.[how silly the young can be because my name is just a synonym of the Goddess's name]In fact I used to imagine people addressing me using the name.But once I grew up I preferred my own name to the other. I am the second [technically third]child and my mother used to tell me how she did not want me at all and tried her best[ climbing up five hundred steps ]with fond hopes of getting rid of me but I was firmly ensconced and here I am .

My names was conjured lol by my dad.. i don't know why this is my name but from what my mom told me, i would rather have my name than what my dad thought of first.. his first choice was LOLA!!! horror!!! lol.. so i am quite happy with what i have now.

At first i don' like my name, My first name is Jeany and i don't like it coz it sounds like genie in the bottle ahaha lol! My mother explained me that my actuall name really is jenny rose but there was a typographical error when processing my birth certificate. instead of a double "N" the one "N" changed to an "A" ahah

I was named after my mother's nurse. But, I always did love my older sisters name. Her name was Faite. My mother was told, she couldn't have children. She had three. But, my father said, it was fate, that they had child. So, he named my oldest sister Faite. I have always loved her name.

i want to change my name because it is not common enough. you could be easily tracked with a name that is not common. it is cute and all, but not safe. my ex is out there looking for me trying to harm me, so....

Growing up I wasn't really fascinated by my own name coz I felt that my two given names doesn't sound good together coz my first given name is of Spanish origin and then my second name is quite uncommon when I was growing up. Well, I really couldn't do anything about it. I never dared asked my dad why he gave me such name coz I know that he'd be offended in a way. Anyway, my friends got used to calling me by my nickname which I think is cute. So having my real name didn't bother me that much...well, it did somehow sometime coz having two names takes time to write it - everytime I have to write it on my test sheets!

my name is also from a comedy story. actually when i started to go to LKG,my name was krishnakumar. its a kerala style name. my father is a two wheeler mechanic. so his friend tried to tease him when my mom was pregnant of me that if the baby is a boy ,should keep a name related to mechanic( just joking) . so when i born ,they teased me as suraj( its a old bike's name) later everbody called me as suraj. my dad is not good in english. so when he wrote my name as suraj, the spelling comes as SOORAJ. now my name is sooraj

My name was my mother's "college" name. She's a member of this certain club and they gave her a shorter nickname. She just spelled it differently and gave me that name. At first, I also didn't like it because I thought it's too short. I also became envious of my classmates who have two first names. But now that I am older and has begun to require clearances from government agencies, I am glad that my name is that way because I have nobody else who share the same first name and last name. And that makes it easier for me to secure clearances.
