Americans seem to think it's a girl's name.
They are wrong.
It is reserved for the manliest of men.

Do you like your first name?

Alexander. Pretty typical, but the nice thing about it is that it has several language versions.
I like my name (Joe), but when its combined with my middle name (Ross) people start to realise that im named after "Friends" characters. Oh well, at least i can be happy that neither of my names are "Chandler".
Christian. its a great name, means "disciple of Christ", and I am a Christian, too. so its fitting, but i am statistically less likely to get laid lol, so I go by Chris mainly now, makes me more "attractive", at least where names are concerned.
My name is Diego, which is very damn common in Brazil, so I'm not that fond of it. However, all my American friends reacted with delight when I told them because apparently Diego sounds really badass to English speaking people, thus I like it a bit more now.
Yes I do. My name's Zach, and it's name that sticks in your head with it's ease of pronunciation and catchiness.
I like to think it fits me.

I've always thought my name was too generic for what I want to get into (the entertainment industry) so I've thought about changing it or going with something a little more unique by the time I get around to that career. Now that I think about it, my first, middle and last names are all incredibly generic and common names.
Oh, my first name's Adam by the way. My dad tells the story that he wanted to name me Butch when I was little, while that would've been great growing up playing little league football and such, I don't think it would work as an adult.
I always wanted one of those unique last names that is so interesting that people call you by your last name instead of your first. I had a guy I went to high school with (he was a few years older) that everyone called Burgess and I just found out maybe a year or two ago that Burgess wasn't his first name, but Jeremy was.
I've also known several other people who either had a last name or middle name that was much more interesting then their first, so they went by that.
I do have an old baseball coach that calls me Batman. Maybe I can get that to stick...

I like mine, but as it turns out, barely anyone can pronounce it correctly the first time, despite it being a 4 letter name, Ilia.
Well, I'm pretty happy with my name. It's fairly unique, which is important to me.
(My name's Julian)
And I'm named after a Roman emperor, so that's pretty cool.

The worst part is when you correct them, and yet they still call you "Kyle". It wasn't right before; why would it be right now?SlaveNumber23 said:
I like my first name, and wouldn't change it. It is irritating if I meet someone with my name, but my name isn't popular enough for that to be a constant thing.
My first name's Ross, so it's hardly an issue and it rolls of the tongue easily considering it's only really one syllable long. Despite it apparently being really common in Scotland in the 90s there was only ever one other Ross in my year at school and even then it was high school.
Though there was a kid in my street with the name.
And one of my childhood friends.
And one of my good friends from university.
And any viewer of Friends will know why it's weird that I have a sister called Rachel. My mum acknowledges this but my sister is only one year younger than Friends and my mum hadn't started watching it then. ¬_¬

I too am Josh and I completely agree. I usually go by Josh, because Joshua makes me sound like a cult leader.itsausernamewhatofit said:
