Do you like your name?

[Total LOLige]

My name is an unusual one, my name's Blane for the record. My mother created her own spelling for the name she removed the i , to make it sound less girly could've just chosen a normal name. It was originally spelled Blaine. Whenever I tell people my name they always say "What? Wayne" I say "No Blane" they say "What? Dwayne" I then have to spell it out. People always make a joke about David Blaine as well. It sounds like something a celebrity would name their child. Which is funny because whenever my mum mocks a celebrities choice of name for their kid I always shoot a glare at her, as if to say "you can't talk"

I'm just glad I wasn't named Michael. It's such a disgustingly common name in the U.S.

I don't mind my name too much, and it can be abbreviated easily. My school friends called me by my one-syllable surname anyway.

My middle names are awesome though - William Robert.

That's right. Billy Bob.

Same name, different feel for it.
Sure our name means awesome things and Alexander the Great was a badass, but when someone calls for "Alex" anywhere, my instinct is to respond even though there are 7 billion people named Alex(ander) in the world. [Hyperbole is hyperbolic]

My instinct is to curse all the Alexanders who go by Alex. I'm not called Alex, it's my name.

How about I use my name, and you use yours. I've only ever met one other actual Alex before.

Kelly. Urgh. It makes me sound like I should be some blonde bimbo with no brain. I don't look or act like a Kelly, but I got stuck with the name. Curse you, mother! Curse you!

i hate the name because it's just the name laurens (which in america etc. would be called lawrence)with a t which is very lazy since it's a very popular name

 

[Grimh]

I'm not particularly attached to my name, it's passable I guess, but I wouldn't exactly cry if I was forced to change it.

 

[JokerboyJordan]

Jordan, I'm a boy mind you, not particularly happy about having a unisex name but I suppose I don't mind it all the same. Then again, my mother named me it right when it was beginning to gain popularity >_<

It could've been worse. If I was a girl my dad wanted to call me Paige...

You could move to the states. Jordan is almost always a dude name here. Might want to leave behind any Ashleys though, as that's considered to be a "girls" name here, ditto for Jaime.

I use Alexander when I'm being incredibly formal. It sounds a bit pretentious to me.

The entirety of high school teachers would ask if I went by Alex. I, being an immensely sarcastic smart ass, was half tempted to tell them to call me Xander instead.

 

[Tiger Sora]

Tom. Tommy, Thomas. I was named after my grandfather. Growing up I didn't think anything of it but 5ish years ago, with my not so perfect hearing when people would shout out mom, which sounds like Tom. So I think they were calling me, reply, than they say again they were calling for mom. It was a real annoyance, all ended when my mother pasted on. But I still to this day hate my name.

Least I have the nickname Tiger, derived from my screen name. Which often I introduce myself to people as.

 

[GrimGrimoire]

I have rather uncommon name, at least outside of Norway, and I share it with the English name for a powertool...
But sure, I quite like it. Although using the alternate spelling (with an X) would also be awesome.

EDIT: Oh, an no one ever gets my last name right. I'm currently in the US, and since it uses two letters not found in the standard Latin character system.
But even in Norway, where we use these characters, it'soften spelled wrong. I don't mind though.

 

[RaNDM G]

Sage.

Basically my mother's way of saying I'm wiser than all of you. And she's probably right.

 

[NoNameMcgee]

Joseph, but I hate it. Friends call me Joey (which I like best) most other people call me Joe (which doesn't suit me that much but I don't mind it)

 

[DreamaSkylar]

I was named after a comic book character, so it's not all that bad. Plus, it sounds very pretty and slightly exotic.

 

[Shuguard]

Andy... kinda wish i had something else. Such a dull, boring name.

 

[Elemental]

I like my name, it's pretty uncommon. My last name is even MORE uncommon.
I'm pretty sure I'm the last one of my kind.

 

[Floggo]

Bradley.
It makes me feel like an esteemed business gentlemen of high society.

 

[Mr. GameBrain]

I used to like the name Oliver.

Until it became such a popular name in the UK! XD

Now it irritates me to no end hearing my name shouted as parents chase their children around the supermarket.

It always makes me react. Always.

 

[LarenzoAOG]

Lawrence

Why yes I rather like that name, although most of my family, who are Puerto-Rican, call me Lorenzo, and I rather like that as well, I even enjoy when my white friends pronounce it "Larenzo" a fun little mispronunciation that led to part of my Username.

 

[DementedSheep]

Well my names Erin and I like it well enough I suppose. I did know a guy who use to call me earring as insult which is just stupid.
