Poll of the Day > Do you have any BITTERNESS to your Parents for the NAME they gave you???

(+) Yeah! (+)

Do you have any repressed feelings about the first name that your parents gave you? let's see if people do.

No I love my name. Sure, my initials form a mental illness, but they're right next to each other on the keyboard which is kind of cool.

Eh, largely indifferent. When I was younger, I kinda wanted a different first name and -- I would later learn -- I almost had one of those names but my aunt took it for my cousin's name first.

There are a lot of cooler last names, though. Like Power.

Is your name Oswald Cobblepot Dresden?

Not really. I liked my name growing up until my mum told me that I was named after a girl my dad fancied while in highschool.

That made things a bit awkward for me.

:/

My mom couldn't decide on my name until she was nine months pregnant and standing in line at the grocery store and saw some magazine with Jaclyn Smith's daughter's name on the cover and just went with that.

I'm a dude.

I do like it now though.

Haha nice guess, but no. Those letters aren't in order on the keyboard.

I have no bitterness towards my parents and I'm happy with my name. When I was a kid I would have picked something different given the chance and it would have most likely been something dumb.

I know of a wise man that picked that name once, Max I think it was.

I'm fine with my names. My last name was annoying growing up, because it has a U with the two dots over it and had to be Anglicized, which didn't make it much easier for anybody... I like it now though.

No I got a good name

It strikes fear into the hearts of people who honestly maybe already had the fear in their hearts idk
---

I don't dislike my name, but when I was younger I always wished I had a gaelic name like my sisters.
---

I'm neutral towards my name but it's fine since I can turn it into a cool nickname. My Dad WANTED to name me Ulysses though :|.
---

I'm fine with it. I kinda think I'd have preferred them swapping my first and middle though. I would have rather been a Levi than a Dustin, but Dustin Levi sounds nice as it is.

As far as I'm aware, that was my parents only choice for me, but my dad really really wanted to name my brother Dana. My mom wasn't having it though, and went with Tony instead.

I think my name lessens any initial fear/distrust people would have towards me.

Well then change it. That is a thing after all.

Levi's nifty.

I don't care enough to have it changed, it's fine as is. Besides, if I ever have a kid, and it's a boy, Levi is a top contender for my choice of names for him.

Levi II.

I'm fine with my name. I guess I'm lucky I'm not a girl though, they would have named me Margaret.

Sorta... my parents just selected names at random from the bible rather than coming up with ones themselves, and of course I ended up getting the overused names of "Joshua" and "Daniel" for my first and middle, respectively.
