Nim shows my personality. And my first name is the only name that would explain me. And my sons name will be Ezekiel, and my daughters will be chosen by the mother. since i chose the mother i'd trust her judgement. Besides that names are useless.

My real name is spelled in a manner that makes it a boy's name to a certain populous ethnicity in my area so I often get mail for Mr. MyName and ect.

It doesn't bother me though since I've always identified more with men than women. Actually.. thinking about this stuff makes me wonder if the phrase 'living up to your name' really has any actual basis. Like... do I feel boyish because I have a boy's name? Or ect. Its amazing how often people's personalities really fit their name.

I dislike when people use my name. There is nothing wrong with it, I just don't likle to be called by my name... just as it makes me very very uncomertable to use someone else's name.

^ That's true for me too. I made a thread on the random forum about it a while ago.

I feel the same way and always have. My question is: why? Why do I feel this way, why does the majority feel differently. What does it mean? And if I ever do figure it out, is this good or bad?

My given name really has no meaning for me whatsoever, beyond the obvious fact that having such a name is very efficient. I feel some connection to my surname, as it relates to my geneological lineage.

I am, however, connected to my username. Kaysea was my dog when I was a child, and I was rather fond of him. RIP

I got this site from somewhere, it takes your name (or nickname) and gives you a personality anaylsis. IF you feel connected to your name, it seems to be freakishly accurate. If, like me, you don't, well then not so much. It's pretty interesting though.

My name to me is just what makes me who I am if you know what you mean. It's just what people call me.

Between my given name, my one online game character (female in WoW), and my most commonly used nickname, I have gotten pretty accurate results. The least accurate was the game character's name.

My various online names seem to apply to me more than my real first name tbh.

However, I would rather that people call me that rather than a nickname or by my last name.

I like my first name as I've known practically only good people who share it. Though I don't like how some pronounce it.

My last name is dull and common. Also rather jaded that my name doesn't have any meaning to it.

I absolutely hated when my name was called in childhood.

I got used to it some since I'm out of school and am being called by my name by the majority of people, but it stills irks me. I try not to think of it.

Sometimes when called I still experience a totally revolting feeling though.

Being called by my name is personal. And that's bad, really.
