Do you like your first name?

My first name is allright. It's not all too common without being forcedly creative.
I don't really have anything against my name but sometimes when people say it it feels like it's a kids name. I know that sounds a bit weird but that's just how it feels. I don't go by something else and I have no plans on changing it. Filip is who I am and whom I always will be, even if I sometimes don't like it that much.
Alistair. I really like my name. It's uncommon, but it's an actual name. It's a gaelic name. (despite being a bastardized version of the Greek Alexander)(and I just learned from Wikipedia that the way I spell it the anglican way.) And it means 'protector' which is also cool.
But despite really liking it, people mostly call me by an abbriviated version. Which is fair enough, besides I like the abbrieviated version as well.

I hate my name. Detest it.
Catriona-Sian.
Never met anyone else with a double barrelled first name. -.- Not to mention no one pronounces the first part right (It's said Katrina.). It's a mix of Gaelic and Welsh because my mum's Scottish and my dad's Welsh and they couldn't pick a name so they went with both. It means God's pure thoughts.

Yah, I know... Walpole was basically de facto PM from about 1730 onwards when Townshend retired. I was just being facetious in the extreme! -_-El Dwarfio said:

OT: As an aside, I've never really had my middle name picked up on even though it's very rare (think a physicist and a WWII Luftwaffe general)...
My first name is Dillon, even worse is that I spell it like Dillon not Dylan, so when people figure out that my name isn't spelled the normal way they try to bullshit in whatever they think it is.
I've gotten, Dilan, Diilon, Dillion, Dylon, ect.
It just doesn't sound cool either.

hard to say in loud places , and people never spell it right but i like it
Well, I don't have a problem with my name, but the world seems to. My first name is Dominick but I am not even Italian (I'm Irish). Plus the spelling is always problematic with other people. I can never find anything with my name on it with the right spelling. [sarcasm mode] Come on, people, what the hell is an "e" doing in there? And only 1 "i", how preposterous?[/sarcasm] And as a bonus (I count it as a pro or a con depending on my mood), I have a Christmas song that I must despise on principle.
So I have a love-hate relationship with my name. I'd have no problem with it if I lived in a vacuum (so to speak) but in the real world it gets annoying.

Congratulations! I entered you in my "Coolest Name" contest and you won! Your prize is nothing except you get to go through life with a badass name.BrotherSurplice said:
Ashley (the boy's name) wins runner-up. It's true here in the US it's almost exclusively a girl's name, but I always thought it sounded cooler for a guy.
Scott. As names go, I think it's one of the ones that more prominently shapes your identity, particularly when part of your family's Scottish and you live elsewhere.
So I identify more with my Scottish heritage than my brother, although we both visit family there. I try to look into Scottish, and by extension British, history in my studies, and I keep my accent practiced (I grew up with one because of my mom, but it naturalized after a while).
I'd probably be a little different if I had a different name, I don't know how different. As to whether I like it? It's nice, I don't really think about it much, there's more interesting names but certainly many more less interesting ones.

Vanessa isn't too shabby really. I've known a few people who say they really like the name. As for me...eh, I'm a bit indifferent.
