    Danita - I am on the fence about mine, I wish it was simpler because I have wasted HOURS of my life spelling it for people and endured the Worst name calling as a kid (dumnita, da-need-a brain,....).

    I disliked the uniqueness of it, myself I like old plain names like my kids have; Audrey and Emmett. But Danita is who I am now, and my husband LOVES my name. SO that is a good thing.

    Brittany- I didn't come across another Brittany until I was in high school, then I came across a ton in the younger crowd when I hit the workforce. I'm cool with it, because most people call me Brit.

    My name is Francheska, I hated it growing up. People use to pick on me, call me French fries , San franciso, Fresca... But I definitely grew into my name, I AM Francheska Evalisse... On top of two long names, I got two last names. So I can say I love my name, just hate when people repetitively call it!

    I'm Aldora. Yep, hated it as a kid. Wanted to be a Susan. But now that I'm older, it fits me perfect. (and it means "winged gift")

    I love your name!

    No. My name is Casey. I shared a class room with 3 other Casey's growing up........... all of them boys.

    I am referred to Cassie or Stacey more than I am called by my actual name. I had an elderly lady in my office the other day arguing with me that Im not Casey, because Casey is a mans name, and Im clearly not a man. And the icing on the cake: I received my *address labels" from a local charity that I dontate to, and they said Mr. Casey XXXXX. Thank you- thank you very much.

    My name means fossilized tree sap...woo hoo...haha ok, but when you think of it as a gem - a beautiful orange-yellow gem that holds things together, preserving something perfectly...then it sounds cool :)

    My name is Amber, named from yellow highlights in my dark hair when I was born. My parents could not agree on a name until I was born.

    I was named after my aunt...a name that was definitely quite popular in her day, but NOT popular at all in my time. I am 28, and no one my age ever had my name. There were a million Jennifers, Katies, Ashleys, and Jessicas walking around and only one of me. I didn't like my name when I was younger because it was so old-fashioned, but I do like it now. I think it suits me.

    **edit: I guess it's not a big deal to write down my first name on here; it's Susan**

    In response to the girl who says she's 27 and named Mary:

    I didn't know any Mary's my age when I was growing up (I am 23, not named Mary though haha) but when I went to college I met a ton of Mary's! It's more common for the younger crowd than I realized!

    My name is Daniel....originally a Hebrew name, meaning, "Only God can judge me." LOVE IT!

    Actually, it means "God is my judge" - and indeed, He is the judge of all. Daniel is my brother's name, but he usually goes by Dan. I like the name Daniel much better - it is a beautiful name with a beautiful meaning! Always think of the book of the Bible, Daniel, and Daniel within the lion's den!

    My parents must have had the same thought. I was christened “Alex Robin”. At school I was ribbed about it and started calling myself Alexis. I keep changing my mind about it.

    I remember being in 5th grade or so...we had to stand up and say our middle name. I was horrified at the thought, and I was right. After school everyone kept asking me what my middle name was, and why was it so stupid. I tried to explain I was named after my grandma who was one of the first female CHP's, and it still didn't matter. I was teased relentlessly because of it. To this day, I never use my middle name, not even my initial. Funny how your childhood can do something like that to you.
