    Raist has a great middle name. I stole it one time for an alias I had to have when I worked in a call center.

    My name is Welsh as smurf and I'm not Welsh?

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    megan, your name is pronounceable by the rules of the english language so there's no way it's "welsh as smurf" (though i don't know your middle name, which could be like "cwllynllwgogogollwn" or something like that)

    my name's okay. no complaints. i don't know what else i'd call myself, so I guess I'm happy with it.

    I don't mind my name but it's really common among girls my age and most of them aren't nice people from my experience.

    Middle and last names are about mundane as they come. Cory isn't an awful first name, and at least it's not spelled with an E.

    I'd like it more if people would learn how to pronounce it.

    Is it not pronounced how it is spelled?

    and yeah I've been called Robert Hoe instead of Howe by some foreign people since they think a e on the end makes all vowels say their name!

    I like my name. I think it's one of the better names out there... but I'm slightly biased on that.

    My name's pretty plain, but it's okay.

    People become quite fixated on my middle name, though, for some reason!

    I love my name.

    I was actually thinking the other day that I'm so glad my name is very rare, I do not know another Tara! I am the only Tara at my workplace and I have always been the only Tara in school/college/uni. I would hate there to be another Tara because it would be so weird and alien to me because I AM TARA and she is not. Hmph.

    I think I only know one or two other Taras. But we say it tair-uh, so it's not completely the same.

    But, I can relate. When I was in elementary/middle school, there were EIGHT SAMANTHAS IN A CLASS OF 100 STUDENTS. It was horrible. But now that I'm older, I hardly ever encounter any other Sams/Samanthas.

    Actually, when I move, I've decided to start going by Samantha.

    I had the same thing as Locky as far as being the only one with my name, but it made me sad. I would see two Vanessa's and two Danielle's and wonder what that must be like. To have a not boyish common name. Also it would make me sad that I could never find anything that kids get with their names on this (fake license plates, or keychains, or sticker pads) because my name wasn't common enough. Now my son is named Michael and gosh darn it he has every personalized kids stuff like that I can find. Signs and place mats and keychains and pens and pencils and stickers and books and memopads and cups and plates and whistles. If his name is on it, he will have it.

    My first name is rather common, Steven. However given the options of what my parent's discussed for me before I was born I am very grateful they did go with Steven (even if I leave the n off in almost all situations) I would hate to be named Harrold, George or Frederic. My middle name Craig is of Scottish origin and I don't mind it at all, sometimes I will even introduce myself as Craig if I'm feeling bored.

    My name is common and it's still never on any of this stuff. I don't get it.
