Do you like your first name?

Yeah, I do. My name is Marko, and I especially like it because no one else spells their name the way I do. But it can be a pain in the ass when everyone tries to spell it with a "c."
Samantha's mine.
It's alright I guess.
If I had my pick, I'd probably go with something slightly more unique than that.
But I'm the odd one who likes to stick out.

Woo! Another Eli!UncleUlty said:
I'm actually the only Eli I've ever known, so it still seems rare to me.
When I was younger I didn't like it -- I wanted to be Eric. I thought that was the epitome of awesome names. Now I'm content with the rarity of my name.
Unfortunately, when I first attend a new class, and the professor takes role, they tend to pronounce it like the girl's name, "Ellie". Which confounds the fuck out of me. Eli is very simple to pronounce: Ee-Lye. Simple.
Benjamin. Good Hebrew name. Although the meaning is a bit shonky ("Son of the right hand" seems like a masturbation joke) and there are a lot of abbreviations. Of which "Benjy" is my least favourite as it usually belongs to puppies.
Your first name, Marcus, your first name.Marcus Kehoe said:
My name's Ann-Kristin, don't know if this name is (like that) common in other countries than Germany. Mostly people have problems writing it correctly (like Ch instead of a K), or they pronounce my name slightly different, because there are so much possibilities to combine Anne/Anna with Christine or something else. :< I don't bother much because I got used to correct people if they got it wrong (well, not all the time, only when it's important), but I'd prefer a shorter name.
The name's Cahn. Yup, name given at birth. Named after the son of a Barbarian king. Love it. Also, the middle name is Spartac, which, incidentally, is freaking sweet. Last name is Colton. I guess i really lucked out in the names department
My name(Alexander Alex)? Yeah it's not too shabby. And with a just few minor edits you get Axle, which is way more badass, so that's hard to complain about.
My last name is another story. I don't dislike it, but it is unfortunate and also doesn't really sound good with a lot of names, though works alright with mine.

My name's Gavin. I believe it is of Scottish origin (although it has variants in Welsh, Celtic, Norman and Middle English as well). It means "White Hawk", which I think is pretty awesome.
Thomas, or Tom, Tommy. I don't like it. I was named after my grandfather, and his. Than my last name literally means "dull town". Super boring and when my mother was alive well, when people called her easy to mishear and think people were calling for me.
I'm going to change my name one day.

Yesterday, I was told by a friend that every single person she knew with my first name was a dick except for me. For the record, I've found it to be roughly true in my experience. But that doesn't mean I don't like my name; in fact, it makes me like it even more. I'm bucking the (perceived) trend.
My name is Nick, and I like it.

Lev
It's fairly unique, outside of the Russian-speaking community, and I like its simplicity.
Yet there are still idiots that insist that I spell it out.

I like Tim.
Though usually the name is portrayed on little wussy characters, there are some nice exceptions...

I'm fine with mine (Aaron), but I have a stutter (blocks), so it can be a nightmare introducing myself or talking on the phone.
Einar (say the letter "A", followed by "-nar", to pronounce it)
It's Nordic descent. Means great warrior of the I-can-handle-this-myself caliber. It's related to the title "Einherrji", given to warriors who ascend to become guardians of the gods, according to the old viking faith.
It's safe to assume that I like it.
