    Default Do you like your name?

    I was thinking about this last night. I actually really love my name, although I used to hate it. At least to me, Samantha is very musical and sounds sort of mystical.

    I also really love my middle name. It's Elayne, which is really old-fashioned, which is cool. I got it because both my maternal and paternal grandmothers' middle names were Elaine, and my mom changed it to a y to make it a little bit more unique.

    I could take or leave my last name. It's boring.

    Do you like your name? What sort of impression does your name give you?

    I don't like my name. My first name is a boy's name and my last name can barely be pronounced by non-french speaking people.

    I didn't like my name. I quickly learned that it is an awesome name. My name is smurfing dope.

    I am fine with both my first and middle names. My last name is bland and generic, which is why I am taking my fiance's last name when we get married. It was either that or take my family name.

    I do not like my first name.

    I do not like my middle name.

    My last name is the second most common name in the U.S., it's boring and I hate it.

    This is why I just want people to call me Pike.

    When (SPOILER)Hux and I tie the knot I will at least have a pretty great last name, though.

    My entire name is like a ten-foot-tall solid gold statue of me in name form.

    Huxley Vannevar Hobbes.

    Huxley.

    Vannevar.

    Hobbes.

    Just... I don't always lavish unconditional praise upon myself but WHEN I DO

    Hate it. I thought about changing it, but I don't know what to change it to.
    Xenogears is the tragic story of how your whole life can take a crappy turn, just because you happened to see a lady in a wedding dress before her wedding.

    Your name is the equivalent of putting your turgid member in someone's face by way of introduction.

    For a while I was seriously considering "Stephanie Starbuck" as a pen name, but then people told me it sounded like the pen name of someone who obsessively wrote bad BSG fanfiction.

    Now I'm kind of considering "Stephanie Pike" or something.

    If your name was Stephanie Starbuck, I would expect to see you in porn.

    I like my name. I have never met another person who was named Reno like me. I usually just go by my first name.

    I like my first name, William. Although I tend to go by Will.

    My second name however... I smurfing hate it. Conner.

    My last name is atrocious and I think I might change it sometime.

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    Jordan Patrick O'Donnell Cleary. I have two middle names: I'm quite proud of this fact! It's also quintessentially Irish, even though I'm only 1/4 Irish. Still, I like it. Gives me a sense of identity.

    Jordan is a decent enough first name. I'm so used to it, I probably wouldn't ever change it. If I was forced to change it, then maybe it might be something nice, like John. I like the name John.

    I'm indifferent to my name. However, I really dislike my middle name. Not a big fan of it.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.
