Do you like your name?

I have always loved my name.

sometimes. I used to hate it as a teen, I thought it was clunky. Now I don't really have much opinion about it.

When I was a kid, I hated not being able to find anything personalized, but now I like having a unique name.

As a kid it bothered me, but as I've gotten older I realize it doesn't matter. Bill is fine, Marrs was a little annoying. Really my initials were the biggest hassle. BM = bowel movement.

My given name? well, no. It was my grandfather's name, I keep it out of deference to my mom. My name that Everyone Calls Me (Even my parents, actually) is h -- (yes, just h) not H not H. not h. not "h" not "oh, your name is 'h'; in that case you can call me ____(insert their first initial)" That, I like.

My name was voted as a sexy name by GQ magazine, or so I hear. Actually my first name comes from the old testament and my middle name from the new testament. This is despite the fact the neither of my parents are religious.

i didn't used to when i was in grade school, mostly because the kids used to tease me about it a lot. now, i'm pleased that i have a fairly unique name.

I could wish it were a bit more unique, but that's ok. Most people call me by my initials anyhow.

Yeah, it's not too weird or too common, and at this point I identify with it and wouldn't want it changed.

I like my first name much more than my last name.

It's my name, and I'm accustomed. But, anyhow, I like it...

Not particularly. "John". I don't even turn around when I hear it called in a crowded place.

My first name is fine; my family name is a nightmare.

It's very flexible and I think it suits me fairly well.

it's the same one as my dad's annoying because there's no word for "junior" in Japanese.

I LOVE my name and wouldn't change it.
For a definition check out the survey about FIORENTINO
LARA: Good survey!

Does this mean your whole name? As in first, middle and last? Or does it just mean your first name. If it's the first, then no, I hate my middle name.

actually this isnt my name. i changed it when i ran away when i was 13. and my last name is Lira, which is money in italian, which is cool for a number of reasons

No. Nobody can pronounce it, or spell it right.

I like the my real name, my nicknames, and my married name! I even like my email name! ... my thighs, now that's another matter, ha!

Its different but I like when people say it. It sounds so strange to have have somone saying your name for some reason

Yes and No. I like my first name, but everyone spells it wrong. And a lot of people mis-hear my middle name

I like my first name, but find my last name unexciting.

it's simple. common, but at least everyone can say it!

I went through a period when I wanted to be named Daphne (I liked Scooby Doo and some novel by Daphne du Maurier . Later I found out that Daphne is the Greek equivalent of my own name, and I thought that was pretty darned cool. I like my full name and use the whole thing for my signature.

I don't dislike my name, at least. It pretty much just is.

It's fine... :) It's certainly a lot better than what my mother tells me she had =wanted= to name me: Petra Angelique. *laugh*

My real name is fairly uncommon (Vaughn, I won't say if that is first or last name though). I find it amusing when people don't understand when I say it because it isn't ordinary, then it'll click with them (like Moe Vaughn or Vaughn Monroe). other times they won't get it even if I spell it, and that is annoying.

I have actually been to the point of obtaining name change forms. I no longer plan on changing my name because it has some meaning for me, and I do not ask people to call me anything else because it would be too much of an adjustment. But I really do wish my mother had chosen something better.

sort of.

Well, my first name is OK because there's a huge choice of nicknames for it. My middle name sucks because it is a family name and it is boring. My last name is cool, and people always try to spell it the wrong way (Stuart instead of Stewart).

I think that's it's pretty insipid and doesn't suit me all that well. Other people have told me that it is a trustworthy name, but I still think that it's bland. Why couldn't my mother have called me "Biggles"?
