Do you like your name?

[I Have No Idea]

Parker.

I used to not like it very much, but I've gotten over it. Apparently it means "Keeper of the park", but I have no idea which park needs keeping

 

[ThegodisAbraxas]

Darby

Named after a Sean Connery character

 

[Grey_Focks]

Michael, usually just go by Mike, though I'm fine with both. As a name, I like it, the only downside being every other Mike I've met has been a bit of a scumbag. My surname on the otherhand. is just awkward, to the point where I'm actually considering changing it back to it's original Scottish version, before it got bastardized.

 

[Dfskelleton]

Dalton.
Not sure if sharing my name with a bunch of infamous bank/train robbers is strange or awesome. Either way, I like it. Also, my initials are in alphabetical order; D.E.F.
I'm just thankful that I didn't get named after my Grandfather: Gothrop.
Seriously, Gothrop...

 

[Leandros8]

Leandros, though i usually go by Leo. Apparently it means Lion-Man in Greek. score.

 

[Arcane Snowman]

Tao.
Don't meet many people with that name, which suits me just fine. Although you'd be amazed at how many people can mispronounce something as simple. Doesn't really matter too much to me as I've never had anyone outside of my family pronounce the whole thing properly. In fact, my username is in part derived from the more common mispronunciation that people made with my surname.

Though, I should probably introduce myself as "Tao, like the ism" a bit more often, maybe that'd make less people mispronounce it.

Luke

It may be a common name and I get a few 'Luke, I am your father!' lines from people who think they are extremely witty but I like it. There are certainly worse names out there (for example I hate the names Keith, Gerald and Wayne).

I wouldn't change my name. A short name is better than a long one for sure and you can't get much shorter than 4 letters.

Edit: Also it means 'Bringer of Light' so that's pretty awesome!

 

[Tanis]

Nope.

I'm named after a mass murdering jerk, one of many, from the 'old testament'.

Not cool when I actually READ the book and realized 'o, hey, this dude is like a mini-hitler who doesn't eat pork'.

BAH!

 

[pearcinator]

William.

The only time I dislike my name is when people call me Bill. I will never understand why Bill is short for William.

Still...could be worse. Your name could have been 'Richard' in which case people would have called you 'Dick' which for some reason is short for Richard.

 

[Odinsson]

Mine is good. My full name means 'usurper and conqueror', which is pretty badass

 

[Valkaris]

Evan, yes I am quite happy with it. not too common but not odd, and when combined to Evan Frazier it tends to have a nice ring.

 

[idskusters]

I don't like my name
WHY?!! Well cuss my name is Ids
Am not kidding MY NAME IS IDS
Most people can't even pronounce it
Well I suppose i could have bin worse
(like being named Adolf or something)

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

Christopher, apparently means "Christ Barer" or "the one who bears Christ (in his soul)", according to wikipedia. Also the legend of St. Christopher. While I am Christian, I don't like my name because of this.

I was named after a relative on my dad's side who died when he pushed his fiancée out the way of a car driven by a drunk driver so I'm immensely pride of my name. The name also has some benefits; I know when something is important because I get called Christopher instead of Chris.

Not a perfect name though. It's been corrupted into all kinds of adjectives to compliment the corruptions of my last name.

 

[itsthesheppy]

I'm not a fan of mine. My parents picked it because it was the most popular baby name for 1982. They literally went with whatever was most generic for my birth year.

It was my mom's idea. My dad wanted to call me Gaelyn. I would have preferred that, to be honest. A name like that, you grow up with a certain personality.

 

[TheFunPolice]

I've been told I have the most amazing name in the entire history of the universe

Literally, anybody who's heard my full name has told me they want to swap names

But yeah, I have 3 middle names, for a total of 5, incredible names...So yeah, I love my name. My first name is Oscar, which I believe means "Defender of the Faith" or something along those lines

 

[rdaleric]

I'm Richard Maxwell James Philbin, I used to hate my middle name, but I have grown to like having a slightly unusual name

 

[Deem-4]

Well, my name is Demi. Which is messed up, because for a long time, the only Demi I knew (Moore) was a woman. Then there's also the fact that it's French for half. So yeah, not too excited about that.

But the people closest to me just call me Deem, in a way that is very hard to pronounce in English, but it makes sense. But it has recently been brought to my attention that Deem is... well, a dick. In Flemish. Of course, it's not gonna stop me from replying to my nickname or other people from using it, but it is there, y'know.

Also, there's the fact that I'm the middle child in my family. My mother always told my oldest sister that she'd be called Sean if she was a guy, after Mr. Connery. And she also tells my younger sister this... I'm in between those two, and I am a guy. And I'm not called Sean. This amazes me. She then replies by saying that she was just tired of the name... Facepalm.

 

[SageRuffin]

My given name - Jason - certainly. Greek in origin, and named after the tale of Jason and the Argonauts. My middle name - Alexander - I'm quite fond of as well, especially since Alexander was one of the greatest generals (or some such, my memory's a little hazy on that one) the world has ever known.

My surname, however... I won't comment.

 

[sagitel]

my name is not bad. its short and good but it sounds like the name of some poor low-class guys.

but my last name. it sucks
