"i wonder if it's against the law to CHANGE your name?"

"of course it's again' the law."

"but WHY is it against the law?"

"because a person ACCUMULATES things around a name."

"well, what have I ACCUUUUUMULATED around MY name??"

SweetQintheLights, you have good taste in names.

When I was 7, I liked the name Ashley because that was my best friend's name. As I got older, I realized that not having the most common name of my generation was probably a good thing.

I used to really hate my middle name and wished it were Marie or Anne like everyone else's seemed to be. But I really like my middle name now.

(G-zheg-ozh ven-go-zhev-ski)

For fear of my cruel cruel friends starting to use it as a nickname.

Akiva

The only thing that I really dislike about my full name is the length. Most people have 3 names, and they aren't all long names, but I have four names, three of which are rather long! Luckily I have a first name that can be turned into a nickname.

I like my first name - although it's one of those names that can be spelled about 16 different ways, which confuses people, but I'm used to it.

I always liked the name Sophia. I don't look like a Sophia, but I like the way it sounds.

RobbO or MattG

I love my name. I really can't see myself as anything else. It goes really well with my middle name. Kate Elizabeth.. good choice mom and dad! :)

if I were a girl, which I am not, I would name myself:

Eleanor Scott

I have a really great unconventional nickname for my not-overly-common-but-still-conventional name. In middle and high school, some people knew me by my nickname and some by my real name. That's how college started out for me, too. But there are far more people at my Catholic women's college with my first name than there were in my high school, so more and more people have begun using my nick-name. These days, I'm pretty much only known by my nickname at school, and my family uses mostly my real name at home. But I kinda wish more people would call me by my real name. My boyfriend, for instance, was introduced to me using my nickname. We've been dating for 11 months, and he still doesn't feel right about calling me by my name. It kinda feels weird.

Oh man, while helping my sister pick names for her baby, I definitely made a list of my own.
I like my name though - Kate. It suits me.

I've totally become obsessed with the name Szusza (Jhu-jha) though, ever since I met this one girl with that name. They call her Szus for short though. I just feel like THAT should have been my name, it's just so me.

But, I also love the name Ellie, Audrey, and Jolie.

Best name idea I've ever had = Beckett, for a boy, after the playwright. And I could call him Beck for short! Eek!

i was supposed to be names Kate (which i love), but when i was born my parents said i just "wasnt a kate" so its my middle name. but i LOVE the names:

elle/ellie
molly
kelly
and a few others i cant remember right now..
