Do You Like Your Name?

[LadyCG]

I don't mean your AB name. I mean your real name?

I quite like mine. I liked it even more when my mother told me what the alternatives were?

And what about names you got lumbered with through marriage. I bet there are some hilarious stories out there...

[ToraToraTora]

Yes, I'm happy with mine, though my middle name was after my paternal grandmother's dog apparently!

[Arksided]

Yep, ‘yo nobhead’suit’s me

[Bobbisox1]

I like the shortened version of my name

[LadyCG]

TTT, you just made me laugh put loud because you reminded me of my late nan who could remember anyone's name and I often got called Rocky or Jasper, or even Pauline, Liz or Joyce! I got called "son" once.

[bednobs]

nah, i prefer my middle name. Even more so now my name means something different than just a name.
i was glad to shed my maiden name as those who could spell it couldnt pronounce it, and those who could pronounce it couldnt spellit

[Arksided]

Really though Anthony is smooth, not pronounced with the f sound in the middle

[LadyCG]

Arky :-)

My married name is quite common :0)

I neither like nor dislike my name. It's a bit out of the ordinary, but it hasn't caused me any bother. My mother said, when I asked her why I had the name, that my father looked in the Radio Times to see what was on the radio, and he saw that a pianist was performing. "That's a nice name," he said, "we'll call him that." And that was that.

Your name suits you, Bobbi x

[Bobbisox1]

I’d like to think so Lcg

[ToraToraTora]

I used to work with this Indian Guy who's name was so long that he used just 3 initials LVC and that was how he was known but once Chinese whispers had taken effect everyone thought his name was Elvis! (Say LVC.....)!

[LadyCG]

It's usually the Sri Lankans who have stupidly long names.

[Bobbisox1]

// Your name suits you, Bobbi x
To add, I’m usually a ‘joyful’ person, I love life and embrace it , s’funny how a website can alter that :0)))

"My married name is quite common :0) "

What? Sox :-)

I like my name. I could have been Justin but my parents changed their mind justin time.

[Canary42]

Yes

[tiggerblue10]

I'm not keen on either of my names :o(

[choux]

Mrs Sirimavo Bandaranaike had no problems with people pronouncing her name. Spelling might have been another matter...

[pastafreak]

I don't mind my name...it's better than the other 2 choices my mum had...Maureen or Priscilla. Nooo!
My maiden name is the name of a village near where ex and I bought our first house in Bedfordshire. That impressed me.

Awe bless you Tiger, neither represent who you are or come across
