Poll: Are you happy with your real name?

[4RM3D]

Are you happy with your real name (your parents gave you)?

The subject just popped up while thinking about Skyrim. How is that related? Well, because [http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/parents-name-child-skyrim-character-195904653.html]... I'm not sure I want to be named after a game character. On the other side... Being in the top 10 most picked names, is also not preferable. I would like for my parents show to at least a little bit of creativity, but at the same time don't go all out.

What about you? Are you (un)happy?

I like being Bret because there aren't many Brets around were I live. Like......none at all, and if there are its spelled 'Brett' <--da fuq is this shit? What's the extra T for? To look fancy? Fuck that shit.

My middle and last name could use a change though.

 

[Kae]

Not really, it sounds like somebody mispronounced another name and the fact that it has a typo in it is kind of annoying and the pet name by which people call me sounds feminine which is annoying don't like what it means either, but at least most people don't call me by my name, they normally refer to me the same way you would refer to someone whose name you don't know like "hey you" and all those things you say to avoid saying a name, I actually prefer it that way.

 

[Dandark]

Yeah im happy enough with it, it's a decent enough name, quite common but still nice enough.

 

[Tuesday Night Fever]

I'm gonna go with "Could Be Worse"

I don't really feel strongly one way or another about my real name, though I do generally prefer to be addressed by my middle name.

Can't say I've ever really had the desire to get it changed.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Yeah I'm, happy with my name despite it has another (and annoying) meaning to it.

 

[Spambot 3000]

My last name has a silent letter in it so that's cool. I guess.

My first name is alright as well.

 

[The Night Angel]

Haha, well I really don't care, a name is a name. I guess I'd like mine to be a bit less blatantly Irish, as it caused a lot of pronunciation problems when I lived in Spain As Shakespeare said "What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet"..... wait did I just call myself a rose??? oh well

 

[D Moness]

It's also a very common name. Makes it hard for people to google me.

That is the reason i like my irl name as well so common it is impossible to be easily googled.
Also the fact i hardly use my real name online makes me more difficult to find.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

Nope, I already changed my name (and surname) and I love it now

 

[Jharry5]

When I was a kid, I hated it because it was too long for me to spell.
Nowadays, I like it. It's isn't that common either, which is a bonus.

 

[SckizoBoy]

I'm gonna go with "Could Be Worse"

Yeah, that...

To be fair, it's quite rare, my name. As far as I know of very few famous people with the same forename and I've only ever met one person with it. It's a really really really old English name which hasn't seen any sort of popularity for the last six hundred-plus years, but it's pretty good IMO. Besides, I've already 'projected' onto a fictional character my 'preferred' name (or, rather, a series of characters)...

 

[Vanitas likes Bubbles]

Seeing that my parents named me after some religious gook (I'm atheist) I really want to change it. But I guess it could be worse.

 

[hazabaza1]

I'm pretty happy with Jack. Although I really like the name Damien.

 

[Ultress]

I like my name and am a bit protective of it(it's silly I know). Though I do find it funny that my name means one who shout the praises of god yet I'm agnostic.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Yes, actually. It's a fairly unique name, and I like the meaning.

 

[JoJo]

My name's pretty standard for an Englishman but it suits me well, so yeah I'm happy with it. I've considered adding "JoJo" to my existing middle name but that's a different matter.

 

[Goofguy]

My first name is easy to pronounce in both English and French.

My last name gets butchered all the time.

Am I happy with both of them? Yes, I like that I have a unique name that is pretty rare in this part of the world.
