Michael.

There are days when I like my name, then there are days when I despise it with the fire-y pasion of a thousand suns. Thankfully I was one of three Michaels in my graduating class. It's even better seeing as some people call me Mike.

I like the name Samantha. I hated it when I was a kid, but couldn't find another name I'd liked more. I find it disrespectful when strangers call me by the full length. I have no idea why. It just bugs me. I like the shortened version of Sam and I fricken love the nickname Sammich.

Yes, quite a lot actually. It's not fairly common (so less of a chance to be called out by mistake), but not something incredibly out there to attract unwanted attention or a terrible childhood nickname. Best of all, it has 7 letters in it like my middle and last names.

Edit: Oddly enough, my main username that I use in games and forums (not this particular name) and my main email address (discluding the @*****.com part) are also made up of 7 letters... CONSPIRACY!

My name is Zach.

It's a name that fits me, and I totally love it.
Not exactly all that uncommon, but the more Zachs the better, helps build up our army faster.

Not a big fan. I was very happy when work gave me a nick name that is all anyone calls me. My wife calls me husband, the kids call me dad. A person worked with me for 2 years before they found out my actual first name.

Marco Fletcher.

I should like it, I chose it. When I was 18 I changed my name from my... much less appealing original.

A lot of people put the change down to spite, like I didn't want to be a part of the family anymore. Nah, just simple aesthetics.

Joel. It's okay I geuss. I'm not too crazy about it. It's not terribly common so its got that going for it at least.

My last name however I'm really not too fond of. But what can I do? Changing it would feel a bit too much like denying my heritage. Choosing my own name is just, I don't know, pretentious.

"Th' names Maddog. I've heard 'bout you."

Sorry about that. Anyway, name's Johnny. I don't think it's that common here (Sweden), but I'll admit that I love my name. I constantly claim that it's the best name in music and point at songs like "Lost Johnny", "English Civil War (Johnny Comes Marching Home)", "Bye Bye Johnny", and "Johnny B. Goode". I also point at musicians like Johnny Rotten, Johnny Winter and Johnny Cash.

So, yeah. Johnny rules.

Sarah.
I used to hate my name when I was younger because I was picked on mercilessly for spelling it "Sarah" instead of the (in Sweden) more common "Sara". But yeah, then I grew up and realized that kids are not only evil, but fucking retarded, and will pick on you for the most mundane of reasons.

I have since come to the conclusion that my name, while pretty damn common (in my age group especially, since it was one of the most popular names for girls in Sweden during the late '80s and early '90s), is also pretty damn awesome.

Josh, yeah, its alright I guess. I'm just happy its not something trashy like Axel or a name with an unusual spelling (like Quendra).

Caden

I like my name, it's fairly unique and the only other person who I've seen with it, was some fat dude, so that certainly boosts my chances against other Cadens. It's also celtic, so that too makes me happy as I like most of the celtic nations. That's it really, it's unique and fairly cool and when said with a pommy accent sounds mighty fine, I myself am not a pom but Australian though.

I guess it's ok. When I was younger, me and my friends played a lot of Final Fantasy games and I got nickname "Mage". Awesome times.

Pretty cool, means Gift of God, Loved by God in Hebrew. My last name however, is Wensley, and Wensleydale is a kind of cheese. Not the coolest last name, but it could also be a bastardisation of Wellesley, Arthur Wellesley being the famous Duke of Wellington!
On an unrelated note, It's my birthday today! I'm 20!
