I wish my name was Louise or Olive. For some reason I love those names.
And then, do you know Monseiur Marius, I believe I was a little in love with you.

Brigid, just a great Irish name.
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Conan O'Brien

re: The Names-You-Wish-You-Had thread

I wouldn't change my name because (a)I don't dislike it, (b) I'm so accustomed to it, and (c) my mom chose it because she loves it and I could never take that away from her. I know this is completely hypothetical, but still.

re: The Names-You-Wish-You-Had thread

I wouldn't change my name, simply because there isn't a name I'm crazy about. I would like to change the spelling, simply because many people don't understand it. (It's Margot, and the "t" is silent)

When I was in second grade, I adored the name Melissa. Then, I had an obsession with the name Erin in third grade. In forth grade, I loved the name Ivy. I have no idea why.
There's a lot I am not certain of...

I LOVE the name Ivy. My French teacher caleld me Ivy yesterday. She said "Ivy, go work with Katherine and Stephanie," as opposed to "Katheirne, go work with Ivy and stephanie."

OOOOOOOOOo I love the name Ivy, too.

I first heard it when I saw "On the Town", and after, I fell in love with it.
And then, do you know Monseiur Marius, I believe I was a little in love with you.

re: The Names-You-Wish-You-Had thread

I love the name Jovie like in the movie Elf, that's what my kids name is gonna be...boy or girl haha

re: The Names-You-Wish-You-Had thread

I actually like my name, and I agree with ihearttheatre, my parents chose it for a reason. I feel bad enough about the idea of eventually taking my husbands surname!

I tend to like old-fashioned names, though.

re: The Names-You-Wish-You-Had thread

I am actually legally changing my middle name to Jane as soon as I'm finished working on my apt.

re: The Names-You-Wish-You-Had thread

I've always wanted to change my name. It is so stinking common. I went through different phases, but right now I adore the names:
Madeline or Jami, although I have thought of others for me, those are my two favorites.

re: The Names-You-Wish-You-Had thread

I love a bunch of names. However I don't mind my own, apart from the fact that I share it with everyone and their mother. It's Jessica, but I love my BWW spelling, Yessica, because a) it makes it a bit more special and b) that's how it's actually pronounced...Maybe I'll change it one day.
#22

re: The Names-You-Wish-You-Had thread

Oooooo. That's a fun way to say it, Yess.

I like my name ok too. Cept no one can say it. Maura. Is that so hard??

I really like the name Marianna though. I've always wanted a name that you can make nicknames out of.

re: The Names-You-Wish-You-Had thread

Babe, I bet I can pronounce it right. Sounds very German re: The Names-You-Wish-You-Had thread

I love my little sisters name, it's Janina, pronounced YahNeeNah.
But she ended up with some pretty horrid nicknames (Nana, Nini, etc) because that's what I called her when I was little and it stuck.

re: The Names-You-Wish-You-Had thread

I've always loved the name Amy.

I go through phases and now I like:
Erica
