do you love your name?

[Dorian]

Well my name is Dorian, so yeah, love it

 

[Capeet]

No I don't really like it but I can't see myself changing it either. I think my name's too long and dull and gender specific. Many languages have some variation of it too whereas I would have preferred something more country specific maybe. I prefer going by my nickname and am glad that most people I know use it. Some people at school don't even know my first name because everyone uses my nickname.

 

[Bowie]

I don't dislike it. It's a very unique name, so I can appreciate that side of it. In my work I like to go by a different name, though. That's more or less just to protect my anonymity.

 

[Tao]

My full first name (Christopher) I kind of dislike I guess. I only really use it when I'm filling in something official. I use it so rarely that I have to take a moment to think how it's spelled. I just dislike it because it sounds too formal to me.

The shortened version (Chris) I'm fine with. People assume that's actually my full first name. I don't really have any feelings towards it though, it's kinda just a name. It does its job.


The only issue is my best friend is also called Christopher, and we also have the same middle name, so people kinda have to call us by our last names to distinguish us, and I don't really like being refereed to by just my last name.

 

[himeki]

birth name: no
new name: yes

 

[Oblivia]

Not really. My real name is pretty... weird for lack of a better word, but I rarely sit and think about my own name and am obviously used to people using it to address me.

It'd be so useful if it was easier to change your first name and there was some system in place that allowed, say... a free and easy one time name change once you reach adulthood. That way we wouldn't have to rely on someone else to choose the name we're going to have for the rest of our lives, especially if our parents are somewhat out there and opt to choose a name that fits them better than it fits the person it's intended for, you know?

 

[Belle of Pripyat]

I like my name. The meaning actually fits me perfectly. It was a fairly popular name when I was born, but you don't meet too many people with it now...unless they're around my age. Just for fun, I checked a list of the 100 most popular girls' names for the year I was born and it was number 12. Not bad.

 

[kayleee]

I don't really like or dislike my name. It's a pretty popular name in my generation, however the spelling I have is my preferred spelling out of any. I'm really glad it's not spelled Kaleigh i don't like that at all. Kaylee just looks the best imo

 

[timecapsule]

I despise and love my name at the same time. I don't see a lot of people w/ my name but it isn't exactly rare, you know?
I don't like it though.. I would rather be called by my middle name (my middle name is a lot better shortened.) but I don't think I could get people to do that.

 

[Celestefey]

Lucy is a pretty common name I think and it just sounds really boring and plain. I don't like it all that much. A lot of people say I look like a Lucy though, not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

 

[Llust]

ah, i have two names i go by. sydney is what pretty much everyone calls me by (family, teachers, friends) but my viet name, mi, is something only other vietnamese people call me, excluding my family. i used to really hate them both, but they're starting to grow on me

 

[pandapples]

My name is Christina. It's okay, but kind of long. And a lot of people call me Christine sometimes which is a little annoying.

 

[Jacob]

im not a fan of names that start with J but jacob is something i can live with

 

[Domestic]

I used to not for some reason, but I actually like it now. Plus my name is "Domenic", and usually people spell it "Dominic" so I like that my name is at least semi-unique.

 

[ShinyYoshi]

I never liked my name growing up, and I'm still not a fan of it now, but I don't really hate it. It's a common name (Allison), but I've been going by Alli since kindergarten and everyone spells it wrong. I even get birthday cards from my family that say "to Allie" and I've never used an "e" in my name. I don't see the point in adding an "e" when one was never there...

 

[Kittyinpink87]

it's alright. i would have liked something more cutesy though.

 

[Rasha]

yes.

 

[Javocado]

I dig my name. I'm just used to getting called jav on the reg so I barely hear it haha. I kind of wish my name was Xavier though because man there's just something about the letter "X" that fascinates me. However, I wouldn't change my name for the world because it's wonderful and I have some fun initials (JAM).

 

[MintySky]

No I hate it and want to change it when I'm older.

 

[Crash]

my name is super common to the point where I had at least four to five other girls in my grade with the same name. that's most of the reason why I go by a nickname ;v;​
