    I don't particularly like my name, but I think it suits me. I would have preferred Nikita, Lola or Stormy.

    I created a fictional character for a novel I was writing. His name was Nick Sharpe. If I had to pick another name, it would be that.

    That's a great name. It sounds like a dark and mysteriously handsome P.I. or a gritty N.Y.C. detective.

    Addelyn.

    I'm better at picking out boys names, though. I like Leo and Oliver for boys.
    My friends just had a daughter named Addalyn!

    I love names that start with L and end with A. Lisa, Laura, Lydia. I also love Karen, and just about any flower name. I love lots of As too, like Amelia.

    I like my last name even though it makes for a lot of sexual innuendos. It's hard to put with other last names, though, and I'd like to hyphenate when I marry. My boyfriend's last name is just not going to work for that though, if it were ever to happen years down the road, because Dixon and Handley is just too much.

    My first name is Sinead..

    I wouldn't change my name, but I would change how it's spelt!

    Everyone thinks you actually say it like how it's spelt, when it's actually pronounced shenaid

    I love the name Sinead! It's Irish and spelt with a fada over the e to give it the "A" sound!

    I wouldn't change my first name but I would like to have my grands last name with mine. And I would have added it to my son's name as well. They raised me and my papa is the only male with the name in our family. I don't want the name to die with them (Yeah, its a morbid thought, but I'm actually terrified of their passing). My son is named after him anyway. Natalie Dianne Jones is current name, wish Jones-Livaudais (live-a-days)

    My first name fits me, I think. It's Toni. The only thing I dislike is that it commonly gets mistaken for Toby or Tony.

    If I were to change it, I would go with my middle name which is Catherine and add Brigitte.

    YES! Sarah is way too common of a name. I'll be sitting in Starbucks and hear my name called out like four times at the drink bar.

    My mom wanted to name me Abigail. I love that name. It's beautiful and unique and easy to spell and pronounce.

    As the first post:: it DOES feel "awkward" saying my name out loud.

    I've wanted to change my name to many different ones. Kinda stuck to "Alyssa" but that was when I was in 3rd grade. Now, come to think of it, I'd like Charlie. Yeah, it sounds like it'd be for a guy or short of Charlotte. But no, just Charlie. I've grown to like that name. Even if it doesn't fit me.

    Was a major Tom Boy growing up, and wanted boys when I was pregnant. So i would change my name to the names I had picked out for my two girls, who I was hoping were going to be boys. Chad Steven and Heath Ryan. Love them both.

    I almost hate my name, It's Andrew and i really don't like it,
    The wife calls me Drew which is better but still not great
    I wouldn't go as far as to actually change it, and if i could i wouldn't know what to change it to anyways

    I love my name now , June, but as a kid growing up I hated it. I was the only one, No one had the same name. Now I like that I am the only one (I have only met about 4 other Junes ~ all "old ladies")
    I used to pretend it was Chris. Which is odd, because I really don't care for that one either.
    I would love to change my middle name, Jeanette. I have never liked it. But not many names go with June smoothly.

    I used to hate my name, Emma. Felt it was an old lady name (I was named after my great aunt). But if I were to change it, it'd be to Riley. Just love that name.

    My name's Clarise-Elise. My parents sure did like to be different :( If I ever changed it, it would be something androgynous and normal. Maybe Chris, or Sam. When I meet people in public I usually introduce myself as "Jessica" or "Amy". Something normal.

    I'll never change it, though. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one, and sometimes that's rather neat.
