Do you dislike your first name?

[Grepper 3,192]

I don't hate my first or my last name.

My name is [CENSORED FOR PRIVACY]

[Mrain901 216]

I like my name (Martha), it's just not my legal name (as of yet).

My legal name sucks. >_<

[Away 2,077]

I don't mind it. It's Samuel. I think it's a pretty nice name :3

[Lord Bradley 1,319]

Well, it's unusual, so a lot of people I meet say that it's weird. Otherwise, I'm fine with it. (Bradley is not my name, by the way)

[Noei 718]

I plan to change my name...

 

Not that I dislike it, it's just..not for me.

I don't mind mine! I think it fits pretty well. My birth name is fairly old-fashioned and professional, so people don't call me that a lot. Not cause I dislike it, but because they consider it weird to call me that because they don't think it suits me. My nickname, on the other hand, is what a lot of people know me by (some people even think it's my real name!) and it fits my personality a lot better. I don't think I'd ever get it changed though. I like both my names, and it's the choice of those I know as to how they want to call me ^^

I kinda hate my name. My name is Jimmy. What I dislike about it is that it's supposed to be a nickname for James but, my name is NOT James. So I get asked "Is your name James?" a lot and it's pissing me off. Why couldn't I have a had a more "normal" name?

 

So anyone else have any similar issues with their name? 

XD my name is James but i hate being called james so i ask everyone to call me jimmy since there are 5 james's in my school and only one other jimmy so i prefer to be called jimmy since more people know who were talking about. Not only that but 3 other james's all have similar last names to me. Also to me jimmy sounds like a more fun bubbly name so i hate being called james since it makes it sound more sophisticated and like i have to stand up to it.

Ok so here we are 12 pages later, and it turns out I grew to dislike my first name..... for reasons, I'm not sure if I wanna state here. If you're curious you might pm me .

 

One of them that I can say, is just it's too damn normal/regular/boring? It's really weird for me that people just name kids with same set of names over and over and over again. We're all different, pretty, unique and special snowflakes ( I know snowflakes look identically to each other ) with same set of names to make us indistinct... There are other reasons too.

 

My last name is still fine, although it's werid... and hard to pronounce for foreigners ^^ I'm even surprised I'm still okay with it.

[CheeryFox 23,821]

I'm not too fond of my first name. However when people use parodying, I don't mind that at all, lol. 

[RainbowPastel 185]

I sometimes don't like my first name, but I don't really see myself with any other name.

[Midnight_Magic 72]

when I was growing up, my first name was very uncommon, so i would get teased relentlessly for it, but now the name "Triston" (thank you very much Legends of the fall!) is quite common and everyone seems to like it...so I'm happy with it 

[midnightlegacy 172]

My first name is Carson.  My parents gave me the name because they wanted to name me something that was uncommon(that's a laugh).  In the past I have not really liked my first name, but at this point, I have finally come to terms with it.  I look at my name, and I see myself in it, which is not exactly how I felt before.  But I understand not liking your name.  Here is a question for all y'all who don't like your first names: If you don't like your current first name, is there another name that you feel you associate with more?  I don't mean just any name that you think would be cool like, "Ghee Buttersnaps", or "Gusjay Gupta", or anything like that.  Rather, is there a name that you feel fits you better than what name you have currently?

[Kankuro 233]

Zac.

But I'm mostly know as Zeke.

I like it 

[INACTIVE USERNAME 383]

Nope, not at all. It's unique. And its what makes me, me.

[Lightwing 12,970]

I don't have any real complain respecting my name.

There're names that I like more, but I won't say nothing bad about my name.

[_GLaDOS_ 102]

No! Because if I didn't have my first name, I wouldn't have the same name as GLaDOS! I would have never joined the Portal fandom fully  as "GLaDOS" and my real life friends would have never called me that nickname.

[Wolf General Alpha 636]

Hm....I am unsure. Seeing as how my first name is Daniel, I don't really have a problem with it or with the nicknames that I am called every now and then. Now my middle name, I hate that, but this thread isn't about middle names, so I am going to keep silent about that.

[probablynotacat 4]

It's taken me a while, but I'm thinking I'm used to my name now.

Socorro is a unique name, so it sometimes takes people a bit to get it right, usually messing it up now and then, but I've grown used to that since school haha.

Lately I've accepted my "baby nickname" Coco, idk it seems cuter, and I like that :3

[Katie Fire 158]

Hmm, Morgan. I don't like or hate it. It's just a name. I don't get people who call their kid like India or Sahara... They're places not people

[Attack of the Pwns 894]

I absolutely LOVE my name. Most people have never heard of it, but there are others with my first name out there. It never really has had a spike in popularity, so it doesn't sound dated like my middle name does.

 

BTW, my full name means "angry singing brewmaster".

[SkullcandyPegasus 603]

I rather like my first name. It's unusual and fun which is perfect in my opinion

[Tao 7,757]

Ashley,  feck every class i was in had like 4 to 2 of em and it was to a point till I hated my name till my mom said I was named from the Ashley in Gone with the Wind which is hee fav book/film of all time and also, I'm name is based from a druid tree of the pagans!

[Ampharos 1,009]

Listen kiddies. If/when you have children of your own, I highly recommend this:

 

Please, for the love of Gandhi, don't name your kid Christian. Seriously. I'm not saying this because I hate Christians or whatever, but  rather I'm saying this because they just might not end up following that faith, and it's going to be real awkward for them if that's the case. It's not even that nice sounding of a name in the first place

 

TL;DR My name sucks and is inconvenient.

[Axel 1,059]

I like my name. Cameron is pretty awesome tbh. 

[Happy Spark is King 331]

I like my first name however its pronounced in spanish. Its Andres but alot of people cant roll their R's and also poeple tend to over do it on the D (thats what she said) its pronounced Andres not Undddreees. Thats why i tell peoole to call me Andy.
