    I don't have a problem with my name. Just a problem with the way it is spelled. My parents decided to name me Cristi and I get sick of telling people 'Cristi with a C, no h, e, or y.

    My best friend didn't like her first name and had no middle name, so she spent $40 and got it changed! She went from Lisa to Elisa Misette.
    I used my mother's last name for a while because it was easy to spell, but people still asked me to spell it; it's Scott!
    When people tell me they don't like their name I tell them for $40 they can fix that, (in NC).
    Lisa is by far my favorite name. If I have a daughter, provided that my partner agrees, I'm naming her Lisa, possibly short for Elisabeth.

    I don't know what I would choose. I used to hate my name, Paige, because it was hard to pronounce with braces and a lisp and it's easy to make stupid paper jokes. It's also my middle name. I don't think I could go by Anna full time, though.

    My name is perfect for me. I think I would suit Gabrielle or Gloria all right too though

    I have never liked my first name, Jillian. My parents panicked when I was born a girl and named me after a doctor on some soap opera. Lame. They planned on naming me Stephen Hayes but SURPRISE! I'm a girl. Wish they would have planned better and come up with a better name.

    Something like Aria Marie or Belle Elizabeth. I love the name Belle but not sure I quite live up to a name that big.

    I really like my name, Lauren, but when I update/give out my resume I sometimes wish I had a different one - I'm 16 and I feel like Lauren is a typical teenage name. I like unique names ad names that start with vowels.

    Then again, places that are ok with hiring 16 year olds in the first place are probably also okay with the name Lauren..

    I've always liked alot of boys names for girls and like I said, names that start with vowels. Ryan, Tyler, Taigen (favorite ever), Erin.

    I'm better at picking out boys names, though. I like Leo and Oliver for boys.

    My name is Lacey and I've grown to love it. It's not very common and everyone I know is pretty fond of it as well. It also goes great with my boyfriend's name-Michael ;)

    However, if I had to change my name I would choose:

    -Alaska: inspired by a character in one of my favorite books
    -Jessie: mostly because I love it but also because I wanted to BE Jessie from Toy Story when I was a little girl
    -Ariel: who doesn't love the Little Mermaid?

    My name is Meghan Rose.

    But I'd change it to Murielle Meredith if I could.

    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.

    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.
