Do you like your first name?

My name is Sophia and I do like it.
I hated it as a kid and insisted on being called Sophie (which incidentially I now cannot stand!) but since I was 16 or so, I have loved Sophia, although all of a sudden it is getting popular with a lot of reality show women with children named Sophia.
Horrified! :ohwell:0 -
Mines Julie and I like it just fine. It's not too common but not too unusual.0

my first name is maroun, pronounced like the color, and i love it. its a lebanese family name and it has been a pretty great conversation starter throughout my life. it is hard to come up with original names though. im about to have a baby pretty soon and coming up with a unique nice sounding name is tricky, so dont put to much hate your parentslol0

The only thing I don't love about it is that I can never find any of those little trinkets - like pencils or license plates for my bike - with my name on it. Not only is it an unusual name, but an unusual spelling of an unusual name.
Sometimes I go by Lori because it's so much easier, especially on the job or on the phone.
"____ Animal Hospital, this is Lorina, how may I help you?"
"Maria?"
"No, Lorina."
"Marina?"
"No, Lorina."
"Mariah?"
"No... Lor-eeeeeee-na. May I help you?"
"Nancy?"
Lori's easier.
But I prefer Lorina. I was named after a Johnny Cash cover of a Civil War ballad. You can't get much cooler than that.0 -
My name is Lenneah (lyn-ay-uh). Most people mispronounce it or don't even try, but I like it.0

I neither like it or dislike it.0

I really hated Heidi when I was younger. I thought it always sounded young--there was no way to shorten it (I occasionally will get Heid or Heids from family/close friends) and it wasn't like other names. I didn't think that name "Heidi" would be taken seriously and of course, I rarely found "Heidi" things when I was younger.
However, now I'm starting to love and embrace my name. It's unique. I love the meaning---"noble one; star" and it hasn't held me back at all.0 -
My first name is Emily and I love it! I didn't love it growing up... thought it was old-fashioned. But now I do. And who knew that later on, for ten years straight, it would be the #1 name for baby girls? (I was named after Suzanne Pleshette's character on the Bob Newhart Show.)0

My name is Nathan and I don't mind it...most call me Nate....I had a nickname growing up "Buddy"....didn't like that at all. Middle name is a little weird though. "Loyce" but, its an old family name. Most people like my daughters name "Mckenna"0

I love my name, as an adult, Peggy, NOT MARGARET! The only person that gets away (got away) with calling me Peg was my Dad, called me Peg-leg-Pete. Not many real "Peggys" out there, but it's fun to ask. As a kid I got called Piggy by my 7 sisters and have a ton of pigs - now in boxes for goodwill. My dad named me so I love the name.
And Heidi, I love that name so much I named my daughter Heidi!0 -
My name is Anna and I like when my friends call me Anke, but I hate nicknames like Anča, Anička, Andula, Andulka etc. :sick:0
