Do you like your first name?

[satindesire]

If you don't, what would you change it to?

I hate being called William or Will or Billy.

Everyone except my family calls me Bill. Since I am a third Will was all that was left.

 

[bronzeage]

I like my name, but if I had to choose, my new name would start with an A, just so I would be called first.

 

[ViciousTease]

Not especially. I'd probably go with ... Freckles ... yeah, that rolls off the tongue quite nicely.

 

[doctor_insanus]

I do. It's a pretty common name, but I go by my middle name anyway. It has a nice flow, I think.

My parents argued about my names while my mother was in labour. It was their first-ever serious argument.

My father was home on a 48 hour pass. They had agreed on names if I was a girl, but couldn't agree on boys' names. Shortly after I was born they did agree. Within six hours my father had registered my birth with the agreed three Christian names, obtained my National Identity Card, and had presented my mother with the paperwork.

When I was a teenager, I was in a Scout troop but three others already had my first name so I was called by a shortened version of it. I still am. But that annoyed my parents again. They, and the wider family, continued to use my birth name in full even if everyone else used the short version.

Only my brother still uses my full first name.

As for oggbashan - my profile explains that.

I have never once, in my entire life, told my first name to anyone in America and not had to spell it out for them.

So, there's that.

Same here and that's the main reason why I've gone by the shortened version for so long.

Jokes about people's names might be humorous the first time, but the person whose name it is has heard all the jokes far too often.

On the plus side, it makes things difficult for potential identity thieves.

I don't like my name. Mostly because growing up there were several other girls of the same name.
When my name was called out, no one was ever speaking to me.

I'd rather be Sarah, or Ivory, Or perhaps Natara.

 

[Wings]

My full name is so weird I'm pretty sure that no other human is named it.

Me too.

 

[1millionsecrets]

Because you said human, does that mean I can name my hedgehog after you?

 

[Wings]

Because you said human, does that mean I can name my hedgehog after you?

Yes you have my permission and that's very apt.

 

[Queersetti]

Because you said human, does that mean I can name my hedgehog after you?

Naming a hedgehog "Wings" would be cruel, like naming a hippopotamus "Slim".

 

[1millionsecrets]

Yes you have my permission and that's very apt.

Wonderful! I only have to attain a hedgehog, and well... your name.

Me too.

Would you like to be even more common, and switch names?
Mine would suit you quite nicely.

 

[chillywilly2]

3 or 4 I know of have mine

 

[RjThoughts]

Considering I could have been a Wayne Edward Jr, or a Andrzej Micah, sure I do like it
