View Full Version : Do you like your name?
Sharop 07-24-2009, 07:09 PM My full name is Stephanie Michelle and I go by Michelle - my parents have called me Michelle since day one. I like the name "Michelle" - I think it suits me and I like the soft sound of the "ch" in the middle.
I like the name Stephanie but I would never want friends or family to address me by that name, which they wouldn't do anyway. Since I was always called Michelle since the day I was born, it wouldn't feel right, even though it's my first name.
Jessica 07-24-2009, 07:41 PM I LOVE MY NAME!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Hollow 07-24-2009, 08:48 PM yeah, i do. it's kind of pretty. my mom gave it to me anyway, so i'm fond of it for that.
Marvo301 07-24-2009, 08:57 PM You know I do like my name. I like that it is not too terribly common. Besides after over 44 years I'm rather used to it!
Janice 07-24-2009, 09:21 PM I do like my name. It's not very popular, and I've known very few Janices in my life; lots of Janets though. It surprises me because I think Janice is a pretty name.
Nighthawk76 07-24-2009, 09:54 PM I do. At least my first and middle name. :)
LuLu Rogers 07-24-2009, 10:58 PM yeah, i do. it's kind of pretty. my mom gave it to me anyway, so i'm fond of it for that.
I've always loved the name Sarah, it means princess, and it's really special that your mom gave it to you :)
I love my first name, but hate my middle name. My name is Lauren Ashley, but I'm not a big fan of the name Ashley. I like it when it's spelled differently, like Ashlee for example ;) but I think mine is boring. I love Lauren though, I think it's more unique. I've only known a few Lauren's in my life.
ZeldaGilroy 07-24-2009, 11:16 PM I do not like my name at all!
browneyes106 07-24-2009, 11:16 PM In a way I don't like my name but in another way I like it. My name gets misprounced a lot but it's not a common name and I sort of like that.
MonarC 07-24-2009, 11:21 PM Michelle is also my cousins name. She is such a cool person and I love her laugh. I knew another Michelle in High School and she was a cool person too.
As far as my name, I do like it. I think it fits me perfectly and I could not see being named anything else. :)
Schmoopie 07-25-2009, 02:00 AM I like my name, but I hate the fact that people are always mispronouncing it. I answer the phone all day at work and I swear it never fails... at least once during the day, I'll answer with my name (obviously using the correct pronunciation!) and the person on the other end will repeat it WRONG! Irritates the holy crap out of me. I know it's stupid, but it seriously does. Sometimes I will hesitate before addressing someone by name, for fear of pronouncing it wrong. I've had to deal with the mispronunciation of my name my whole life. My husband has even done it! And he has NO excuse!!:lol:
Andrea (that's "ONdreeah" in case you were wondering!;)
dawsongirl 07-25-2009, 03:57 AM Yeah, it's grown on me. When I was a kid I thought it was old fashioned because I went to school with a bunch of Heathers and Melissas and Jessicas and such. No biggie now though.
But similar to Andrea, I get so sick of people misspelling it. NOT EVERY CATHY SPELLS THEIR NAME WITH A K.
beautifuldreamer 07-25-2009, 06:18 AM I think my name is okay... meh :lol:
It's Matlyn... and it's led me to a lifetime of misspellings and mispronunciations... which explains why, anyone who gets it right the first time gets a big hug from me.. seriously. :rolleyes: :lol:
howierules86 07-25-2009, 11:05 AM I like the name Stephanie but I would never want friends or family to address me by that name, which they wouldn't do anyway. Since I was always called Michelle since the day I was born, it wouldn't feel right, even though it's my first name.
This story reminds of the "Full House" episode in which Stephanie wanted to change her name to "Dawn" just because she was getting sick of "Step On Me" type signs on her back put on by other kids.
Penny Lane 07-25-2009, 11:40 AM I like my name I guess(Marlene) but for some odd reason almost everyone that I meet think that my name is either Marilyn or Maureen. Is my name so uncommon that nobody can remember it? :confused: It' gets old correcting people ALL of the time!
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 07-25-2009, 12:49 PM I've always loved the name Sarah, it means princess, and it's really special that your mom gave it to you :)

haha I was about ready to fight you, but you saved yourself :p
Nah, I dunno. I'm indifferent about my name. Don't love it or hate it. It's okay, I guess. Having it spelled Ashlee has always been a pain, though. No one gets it right.
Sharop 07-25-2009, 12:53 PM Having it spelled Ashlee has always been a pain, though. No one gets it right.
My boyfriend sometimes has his name misspelled too. He's called Kris and people sometimes spell it Chris.
MickeyMac 07-25-2009, 02:15 PM Mickey isnt anything special but I like it.
Family Ties Forever! 07-25-2009, 05:58 PM Yes, I like my name Jenny Ann. The only thing that bugs me is when people try to call me Jennifer, which by the way, is not my real name, it never has been. The name Jennifer is fine, but it's not my name.
Schmoopie 07-25-2009, 10:52 PM It' gets old correcting people ALL of the time!
AMEN to that! Everytime someone reads my name, they always (and I mean ALWAYS) pronounce it "Ann-dre-ah". I guess that is the 'accepted' pronunciation or something, and usually I just blow it off, but sometimes I'll correct them, depending on my mood.
Andrea
Marvo301 07-25-2009, 11:04 PM My full name is Marvin and if I tell people that I ussually get called Martin or Mervin. If I tell people to call me Marv (which is what most people call me) then I usually end up being called Mark. But hey, at least they're talking to me!:lol:
dawsongirl 07-26-2009, 02:23 AM Yes, I like my name Jenny Ann. The only thing that bugs me is when people try to call me Jennifer, which by the way, is not my real name, it never has been. The name Jennifer is fine, but it's not my name.
I feel you...my name isn't Catherine/Cathleen either, but a lot of people over the years have assumed it was.

:lol: Mark??
Purffin 07-26-2009, 10:51 PM ehhh its ok i guess
HuntingtonM15 07-26-2009, 11:09 PM Yes, I like it, and I've always liked my initials of MGM.
Darren J. 07-26-2009, 11:12 PM I'm cool with it. Not too many Darrens, so it's not as if I am going to get mixed up with someone else.
Janice 07-27-2009, 12:21 AM I like my name, but I hate the fact that people are always mispronouncing it. I answer the phone all day at work and I swear it never fails... at least once during the day, I'll answer with my name (obviously using the correct pronunciation!) and the person on the other end will repeat it WRONG!

Andrea (that's "ONdreeah" in case you were wondering!;)
Please take no offense, but maybe people aren't mispronouncing it; but you are. I've known quite a few Andreas in my life, and every one of them pronounced it ANN-DREE-A. Even if it's French or something, people pronounce names and words phonetically. Have you ever considered changing the spelling to Ondreeah? That way, people will get it right. Just saying, since it bothers you so much. People are always going to pronounce your name the way it's spelled. That's only natural.
littlebelle 07-27-2009, 03:18 AM Not really. It's weird and not very common.
Wreckless 07-27-2009, 03:21 AM Yes I love my name. If I didn't have the name Kyle, their wouldn't be any me. I think your first name and personality/who you are, carry around and stay with each other. It's like a bond they share. What I like, What I am, Who I am, how I am- everything that is me, that is all in my name, and I'm so glad I have it. I like my middle name as well :).
Wreckless 07-27-2009, 03:25 AM Not really. It's weird and not very common.
no it's not. I like your name a lot. Be proud. It represents the great person that you truly are.
DLevine2 07-27-2009, 07:43 AM I like my name but the confusing of it since my name is Brett, I could get called Brad or Brent sometimes. I rather be called by my real name "Brett".
Scoobiedoo30 07-27-2009, 11:15 AM Yes
littlebelle 07-27-2009, 02:05 PM no it's not. I like your name a lot. Be proud. It represents the great person that you truly are.
Thank you
LuLu Rogers 07-27-2009, 02:31 PM Thank you
I've always thought Ramona was a beautiful name, it's not weird or uncommon, I know several Ramonas ;)
MrCleveland 07-27-2009, 02:47 PM Well, my name is Paul Warren (Like in the Amiright.com page). But the way I feel, I might as well call myself Cleveland.:(
littlebelle 07-27-2009, 02:50 PM I've always thought Ramona was a beautiful name, it's not weird or uncommon, I know several Ramonas ;)
Thanks Lauren but I've always wanted to have name like yours, pretty and normal, lol.
LuLu Rogers 07-27-2009, 02:59 PM Thanks Lauren but I've always wanted to have name like yours, pretty and normal, lol.
haha thanks, I like it, I think it fits me. :) I was named after soap opera characters :lol: ;)
littlebelle 07-27-2009, 04:05 PM haha thanks, I like it, I think it fits me. :) I was named after soap opera characters :lol: ;)
Really! well my friend was named after Fallon from Dynasty :lol: I guess it's common for people to name their kids after soap opera stars. Hehe.
Theda Bara 07-27-2009, 07:10 PM Yeah, I do now, but I used to hate it when I was younger. The pronunciation of my name, Tara, is TAR-RAH, which sounds more unique, because it not as popular as pronouncing it, TER-RAH; which is the more common pronunciation.
