My mum named me after Lauren Bacall, she is her fav actress. My dad wanted to call me Robyn, which I wouldnt have minded. But my mum said people would pick on me and sing the Batman theme tune to me!

Do you like yours? And what would you have prefered?

My dad just liked my first name. He didn't know what middle name to give me, but eventually he decided on Lynn after a friend of his who had died a few years before.

I hate my name. I would have much rather had the name like something like Damien or something cool like that.

I knew a girl called Robyn, and nobody sang the Batman song around her. That's a silly excuse. :rolleyes2

Anyway, I like my name. Except the fact that nobody can pronounce it properly! :D

I was named after my father (first name) and his father (middle name). I would hgave prefered something more original for a first name, or at least not the same name as my dad. They were going to call me William at first but then decided on Robert. Considering that, I prefer Robert.

Chloe.
10-03-2006, 09:11 PM
Well my name is Chloe which I guess I kind of like :bigsmile: My mum wanted to call me Laura but my dad didn't like it, but I think I prefer Laura over Chloe :D

So yeah I'm not really bothered by my name, though it's annoying when people spell it wrong. :p

I make all my friends from work call me by my last name because I prefer it over my first. All my non-Army friends get away with my first.

I like my first and last name, but completely despise my middle name.

Leeza is my middle name and I like it. I don't like my first name though so I won't type it out here. :cat:

No, I absolutely HATE it. That's why I just go by my nickname, Allie. I hate the way the L in my real name rolls off the tongue... it never sounds right.

I'm named after an alcholic drink, whats to hate about that? So yes, I don't mind my name. :3

I don't like my first name, I do like my middle name, and my last name is so average that I don't feel strongly about it one way or the other.

10-03-2006, 09:21 PM
Everyone calls me Robbie, and I'd rather be called Rob. I hate my last name because it sounds stupid. I like my middle name. Ian.

My brother goes by his middle name because he doesn't really like his first name. I still call him by his first name, though.

I like my name just as long as people pronounce it correctly (which isn't often, especially in this country).

I don't like my name. First or last. :(

I think my love for my name ought to be fairly self-evident. :save:

I wouldn't say I hate my name, but I think my first name is too common :mad:

I actually just got my middlename a few weeks ago. My two sisters and my brother always had that middlename, but for some reason my parents 'forgot' to give to me at birth... :hahaha:

I despise my middle name, but I like my first name. Lucky me. :)
I was named after a '60's TV character from my Mom's favoite show...

Jess
10-03-2006, 09:53 PM
My name is Jessica, but I prefer Jess. I don't mind my name. I was going to be called Chelsea, Illia or Chyna, though. My parent's couldn't decide so in the end they went completely away from those names and called me Jessica! Oh, and my middle name is Lauren. :jess:

Faris
10-03-2006, 10:01 PM
I don't hate my first name, but I do prefer my middle name. I do not like to be called by my first name because it's long and there are so many nick-names tied to it.

I don't like my name. Nobody seems to be able to pronounce it. It's Bríd, and everyone seems to call me Bree or Breeze.... pluse misspell it (it's been spelled 'Brijid O_O)
I always liked the name Alice ^_^ If I ever get the chance, I will probably change my name to that ^_^

My first name is fine, but my surname sounds stupid. I have no middle name. :(

Trevor is... alright. Not very romantic or anything else really, but not something I worry about.

Manson is just kick-ass though.

They were going to name me Christine. Smashed to ruins by a penis that was.

Still, Christine is a better name than my first name, and my last name sucks. My middle name is okay.

I liked my name up until I met someone else with it. My parents named me Frances because they didn't really like the name my birth parents gave me which is Josie. I know what your thinking, omg! your parents hated your name!! yep, it's true! my mom told me a little while after they told me I was adopted. But even so, I kept the name Josie and thats what I go by, so I made Frances my middle name.To tell you the truth, I dispise the name Frances and I love the name Josie!! By the way when I said birth parents I ment that I was lucky enough to have both a father and a mother, but the reasons for adoption are still unclear.

Your names are so cool. ;__; Even the other one.

My first name is Jessica. I like it, but it's so... common. My last name (which shall be a MYSTERY!1) is nice, when pronounced in the Italian, and not the retarded American mutilation. :bigsmile:

I used to hate my name, but now I'm....okay with it. The only reason it annoys me now is because I hardly ever get called by my actual name. It's always Christine, or Krystal, or Kristie, or something like that.

not really. i rather use something else rather than my own name. but i use my first name more often.

Yeah I like my name! My last name is difficult for people to handle though.

I find it hilarious though. Especially when your surname is rejected when signing up for something on the internet. Great to see the reactions on peoples faces!
The phone book people didnt want to put my name in for a while!

Kyle is just OK, nothing special. I wouldn't really say I like it. I've been told back when I was named Kyle it wasn't all that popular, but apparently many parents had the same idea all at once because there are an abundance of Kyles around now.

My last name is kinda gross sounding... and my middle name is "Dwayne" :bigsmile: I can't imagine anybody wanting the name Dwayne. I hate my middle name, rawr ;O! My brother's first and middle names are Justin and Keith, and since he's J/K and I'm Dwayne I'm convinced we're both jokes.

Amanda is fine. I like my middle name: Jean. There's no other name I'd particularly care for.

Acid Raine

My first name is BLEH, and is based off my older sister's name (Dillon is a city in Montana), and the spelling is off Bob Dylan.

No idea why my middle name is my middle name. I like it, though. Its not something stupid like Horace or Dwayne

My last name is rockin sockin robots! Its fairly common where I live, but I am related to all of them. My dad has like.......17 siblings. So I am running into my cousins left and right.

My first, middle and surname are three of the most common names in the world. To be honest, i'm not arsed either way. Dan suits me fine.

10-04-2006, 12:14 AM
I love all my names. I've always been called by my middle name, so I don't really respond to my first one. I love to see all the different spellings people come up with. Whenever I'm asked how it's spelled I always say, "However you want", just to see.

My first name is unique, therefore it is cool. I wish people would learn how to pronounce it correctly though. My first name is Ignoramus by the way. :mog:

I like my name just as long as people pronounce it correctly (which isn't often, especially in this country).

My daddy is called by his middle name because his mama's weird. See, my grandparents had my aunt Debbie, and Mema named her. Then daddy was born, and my Grandpa Carl named him Paul, so Mema added Dean as his middle name. Then they had another girl and called her Donna. So, Mema decided to use all the D's, and called him by his middle name. Grandpa Carl always called him Paul. Then they had another son called Michael, but he died.

How do you pronounce your name, Yamaneko? And what's your first name, Leeza! I want to know, I won't tell. :(

Name change to Wvladmere Sinbad Grissom or Alice is number one on my list of things to do when I turn 18 :bigsmile:

and furthermore:

I both like and dislike my name.

As unique as it is within New Zealand, where caucasian names are almost entirely of the common variety, Ive always been somewhat famous and a center of attention just due to my name. Typically, noone has ever pronounced my full name correctly, aside from my parents/family.

These days, with a new first name, everyone still says it wrong, and in almost every case, as "Rain" Its more like Ray-een, but not dragged out like that. When said quickly it does resemble Rain, so I dont really have any troubles with it being said that way.

But I must say, its rather amusing having so many girls going on about how "hot" my full name is...

Ana (I like it because it's a tradition in our family, my cousin, mother, grandmother and sister has it and also the mother of my grandmother but she already passed away, we are all Ana), I hate the rest... specially the last one! I've known such cool last names and mine it's the most common last name u can have! :( One day I'll change it ;)

10-04-2006, 03:09 PM
Both my surname (Huang/Wong [same word]) and my first name (Peter) are common names so that makes it bit boring.

But I like my chinese name quite a bit. Zi Yan. It's easy to write in chinese and pronounce (which is important for a semi-speaker like me) and it also means something cool sounding although it doesn't really make sense (offspring of flame).

Resha
10-04-2006, 03:12 PM
I hate my name! >:O I hate hate hate it.

I wish my name was Anna Karenina. That's a real swell name. On another note, though, I'm also kinda disappointed at the lack of middle name. I have unofficially adopted a cool Chinese middle name for myself though :shifty:

10-04-2006, 05:44 PM
I didn't like my name growing up, but it was mostly because no one ever spelled or pronounced it right. Now I think it is kind of unique, even though a lot of people in my family have the same first name (not immediate family but you know what I mean); but outside family it is rare to be named this. (not saying what!)

10-07-2006, 11:54 AM
No.

And to make matters worse, I don't like my middle name/nickname for my first name either, so I just have people call me something completely different.

Since I'm 18 now, I can go get my name changed, but my mom would probably throw a tantrum. :D

I like my names. My first name is lovely (I think), my second name is nice and my last name is very uncommon and annoying (nobody can manage to spell it right).
