What's in a name?

Hi! My father was the one who chose my name. I may not love my name but I am contented with it. Alt least I have a name.hehe. I never thought of changing my name.

I was named after the spring season in our native language. During my childhood days, I thought my name was very old. But now I understood the meaning of it and love it a lot.

Naturally i was given my name after my birth.Name gives you an identity and everyone recognizes you by the name given to you.Of course you may find people with the same first and last name as yours.I am quite satisfied with what my parents have named me.During my time people were given traditional names but now it has become the norm to give an outlandish name and which sometimes embarasses the person.Women,especially in my country change their name after marriage but they are still called by the name given by their parents.

I'm fine with my name. It's a mediocre name but I like it as it is. I feel sorry though for those who has names like "Wiener" or "D!ck". I bet they had to suffer a terrible childhood first before learning how to cope up with their name.

It's not said we are not born with a name. How do you know we are not? How do you know that name, that suddenly pops up in the mind of your parent(s) is not be whispered into their ear by... For my youngest two I did not really look for names for weeks/months like I did with the first 3. I decided they will bring their own names with them and they did. If it comes to my children all their names fit by the way. Their names say something about who they are, their character.

I am happy with my name. But If there's a chance for me to change my name I would love to change it.

I was born with my name in a way, they had decided before I was born :-) I wanted a double name at some point but now I can't really see why. I like my name, not as I couldn't imagine having another name, but it's very me now.

name gives us a lot. because if the name is sometimes determine our destiny. it is very important that you give us our parents because it determines to some extent our destiny. I'm happy with my name and I like it a lot. interesting discussion. nice day!

Names are given by parents, so we can't really influence them. But names are sometimes reflection of social and cultural surrounding in which people are living. More educated and liberal people, tend to give more "unusual" names to their kids. On the other side, people that are lower on social scale, less educated and often more conservative, will give more conservative names to their kids. So, the names themselves, are not so important, but can show where people coming from, and that's often quite decisive fact in life. Other thing are nicknames. Quite often, it becomes part of our identity. Just like in my case, many people still don't know what is my real name, since my nickname is short version of my last name, but it's also quite often first name. So, I have two names, and it's OK with me.

i believe that the name we bear has a lot of impact on our life, i know of a guy whose name is surprise because his mother was old and didn't expect to give birth to him ,this guy always looks confused as if his name stuck to him . i believe it is always good to bear a meaningful name that has a positive connotation

No, thanx i am happy with my current name, what i believe that names do have a significant impressions on ones life, If the meaning of your name is good enough it will create positive affects in your life, if u have a name with bad meaning than u it may leave a real bad impressions in your life so better change your name if it have bad meaning.
