If I Can Only Choose My Given Name

Yes, My parents kept my name and I like this name. Kavita means Poetry or Poem

I'm used to my name now and pretty happy with it really. Besides, if I got a new name I may not be able to remember it!!

I have no choice, my grandfather is Sr., my father is Jr., I am III, my eldest son is IV. We are all eldest sons in the family generation, we all have the same name that is more than a hundred years generational tradition. My eldest son would probably name his future eldest son the V or the fifth after his name. Honestly I love our name

Yes, I like my name, my full name is Anna Maria, but I always only use Anna, is shorter and easier.

Yes very much because my parents thoughfully created my names. Hihi

Yes I like my name... It's a name of one of my favorites singer..

Yes, I love my name. If you don't like then you can change it.

Just look at the bright side, Americans loves Hispanic names. You don't need to change your name, just use a different pronunciation. Fe is pronounced as Faye in the Us.

Not really.But I have never thought of changing it .

i think my name suits me and my personality.

I think Fe Diña has a nice ring to it. But I like your other options too. I was born in Belarus. My official name on my birth certificate is Elena. My official English translation is Yelena. People that know me (at least Russian speakers) call me Lena. I love Lena the best. Wish I could change it officially but don't want to go through all the hassle. So, as a writer/author I use Lena Kovadlo, Kovadlo being my maiden name. But officially I am Yelena Udler, now that I am married. I actually prefer my maiden last name and I wanted to keep it when I got married. But my husband wouldn't allow that. He said I could either take his last name or hyphenate mine. I didn't want to do Kovadlo-Udler so took his.

I'm reminded of the quote from Romeo & Juliet "That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." So it's up to us what our name will represent to others through our deeds or misdeeds.

I have three given names - and I like all three.

I love my name..I don't want to change it..it's kept by my parents..

When I was young I hated it a lot. Only because when my parents were mad at me they would call my by my full name. So it had that negative emotion on me. Until now it has that negative emotion on me so I don't like people calling me by my full name especially my friends and family. If I were given a choice to change my name, I would change it to Alexis. But I won't because it was my father who named me and he named me oh so lovingly after a Queen and after my grandfather.

I am an atheist and have no baptismal certificate.Here parents usually have to settle on a name for the bady according to family tree.

I think Lorna will be fit for you

@SIMPLYD I had too many names when I was growing and had to figure out who knew what name. When I got married here in Israel I changed my name to shortened version of my Hebrew name and when i got divorced I kept both names. I love shorter names these days.

depending upon your thoughts! i loving my name! Rathanasabapathy..

Almost the same situation as mine. I was named Desiree and used that until I was in 6th grade. But when I was in secondary, I discovered that one of the letters of my name was altered making it difficult to pronounce. I am using my name which was written on my birth certificate, though.
