I love my name (Justine). Hate my surname though, have considered changing it but procrastination is one of my strong points :?

My name is simple, + easy to remember. I'm happy with it. You can't mock my name at all...I think. :)

I try to use "Mr Sinister" as my username wherever I go online these days. It fits :)

As for my slave-name, the one I use in the real world... I'm fine with being "Philip". It's a nice, common name - although I do get very annoyed when people start spelling it with two Ls instead of one...

No thats my real name.

I didn't say it was unusual lol - I was the only Ian in my class at school - while not uncommon, its also not common. I also used to have trouble saying a "G" sound, together with difficulty getting the constantants on the end, which made saying my last name difficult.


My name's Ian as well but it's obviously more common over here than Down Under,being
the Scottish version of 'John',so I'm ok with it.Only snag is it can also be spelt Iain so I usually
have to clarify. Reminds me of the guy who went to the optician and the receptionist
asked his name,to which he replied Ian.
'Is it only one 'i'.? "
'Well,no,it's both of them actually'

I like my name a lot. Lucía is not uncommon, yet is not that common and it's really pretty (and it means "light" or "moonlight", which is cool)

I'm okay with my first name.

I'd change my last name, except that it would cost me money to do so, and I'd have to explain to everybody I know, get all my identification changed, all my school and employment records changed, update my banking and home ownership and insurance documents... too much hassle.

I have the first and last names of my father, and I hate that worthless piece of sh1t waste of human flesh. I've spoken to him once since Christmas Eve of '05. Great father, huh? And he wasn't the one who called me.

I'm gonna change my name when I turn 18 in June. I'm gonna change my first name to the first name my mother originally wanted to give me then change my last name (to what I don't know yet) and keep my middle name.

When I'm somewhere that calls people forward by their name, like a doctor's office or an auto shop, this is the biggest pain in the ass. Most of the time they'll butcher my first name. (I blame my parents.) If not, they butcher the last name. Only one place has just given up and used my middle name, though I'm not sure how much of a consolation prize that is.

Shelby is a unisex name in both Europe and North America. I think it suits me quite well. It could have been a lot worse. I could have ended up with a very girly name.

not really, but that probably because my name stands for 'Me'

I should change it, so i can hide behind a mask like everyone else.

Yes, I like my given name, Edda, a lot. It is appropriate for someone who likes literature. My middle name, Regina, is more appropriate for someone in my age group.

I chose 9CatMom because it fits me. I love cats.

The only problem i have with my (given) names is that people find it impossible to spell them correctly, and i HATE incorrect spelling. They are not uncommon or unusual names, and while there are several ways to spell them, even after providing the correct spelling, people still get them wrong.

I hate my name and always have. I want to change it to Kalahari. A lot of people I talk to seem to think it's goofy or to long and formal. They can just call me "Kali" for short.

I've had fear in the past that I could not pronounce my own name. The strange thing is it is a simple commom word. I have made up names i use in real life with
my family.
