    Default Do you like your name?

    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.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

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

    Owen made this sig. R.I.P.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.
