Do You Like Your Own Name?

[angiepie]

Angelica [Angie, or to my family 'Geli']

Pros:
It's not common and I hate common names
I've never met anyone with my name
It can be shortened and most people call me Angie
I hardly ever have to say it or write it

Cons:
No one can spell it or pronounce it correctly
I don't like the sound of it
It's too long- prefer shorter names
My family nickname, Geli, is so ugly sounding but I'm stuck with it, oh well
Mail, documents, ID always have typos
I can't understand why they'd call me that if they never EVER use my full name?!
My little woggy name doesn't accurately represent who I am
I'm named after an ugly plant
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is like 'Oh like Angelica from the Rugrats' -__- and they called me Angelica Pickles as a kid. Major eyeroll.

Luckily, a friend in high school started calling me Angie and it stuck. I don't mind Angie, but it's still not my favourite.

Having said that, I wouldn't change my name. I was born with it, and it's who I am.

I like my name Rosalie, I get called Rose by family and friends, colleagues at work call me Rosa for short, and my OH calls me Rosie (what he's being sweet/ or wants something ).

My name was really unusual when I was younger, but think it's kind of come back into fashion since twilight xx

Im called Emily Rose and I love it! xx

 

[holdonslowdow]

I'm Renee Lynn, and I never liked it. It always came with mispronunciations and nicknames that I hated. As I've gotten older I don't hate it as much, it's nice not having a common name and I was the only Renee in school so if I heard the name I knew it was me.

 

[nicb26]

I'm not overly keen on my name (nicola). Its ok I guess but really boring, and there were always at least two others in my class at school with the same name. I REALLY hate nikki, don't know why, but its just not me, so it annoys me when people just start calling me nikki!

 

[SMFirst]

My first and middle names are Susan Catherine, and I think it's both feminine and strong, so I've always liked my name..

There were a few Susan's growing up but not many, and I don't mind when people call me Susie or Sue, but since I always refer to myself as Susan, I don't get nicknamed that often..

 

[MrsDani]

I hate amanda it's way to girly for me, and people used to say cause your A-MAN-DUH. I go by dani now

 

[Islander]

its ok...i didnt like it and i thought about changig it but nothing else suited me so then i started to like being lindsay paige

 

[steph.]

I like mine, Stephanie. Its quite international which is good because I've travelled a lot. People usually call me Steph which I like, but some have called me Fanie which needless to say makes people giggle
