My first name is unique but not unheard of. I guess you could say it is a less common name. It is only spelled one way and is easy to pronounce and most people have heard of it. I generally like my name and I always feel happy when I hear of someone else who shares it. BUT what about rare names? Hard to spell names? Just plain weird names? Are you stuck with one of those? Do you even like your name? Do you just go by a nickname?

Hi, I like my name a lot because it is good, unique, not very common and with a lot of meaning tagged to it. However, it becomes difficult for others to pronounce and spell it. I also love my name because it was been chosen by my grandfather whom I love a lot. I feel proud of the name he chose for me.

I really like my name which was given to me by my father. But it's unusual for my country and most people like my name. Once it was said that my name is so unusual that there're two variants at the first meeting: either to forget it or to remember it.

i have a good name, but i don't like it at all, it all because there is a pop singer got the same name as me too. he is so fat and ugly. everytime when i told someone my name, they will say, oh ***(that super star's name). i hate that. so everytime i went to public, if someone wanna got my name, i will change my name and tell others another name that i really like and usually call myself. i want to change my name, but it is complicated. so i only can use the super star's name.

Oh, that would be difficult to be sharing the name of someone who is famous. You are probably tired of the attention that it brings. Thanks:)

Hi there Rocket J! My name is really common but I like it. I also like my nickname which is "Angel". My name and nickname was given by my aunt with the approval of my mother and father.

Yes, I like my name.. But, I am not too thrilled about it.. It sounds very common to me.. A lady at the hospital told me that she loved my name.. But, to me it was just an average name.. I guess others see your name differently than you see it for yourself.. But, I do dislike my middle name..

My middle name is a shortened version of my mom's name. I like it because it has a unique spelling because it came from another name. It reminds me that I'm named after her. Thanks:)
