Hey You.......?

when i was little, i hardly knew anyone, or very few that had my name, Bonnie. i hated it for that reason. my mom named me after a childhood friend that my uncle had cut out of all the school pics to keep himself as that was his crush/gf. so i couldnt even see what she looked like i loved my middle name of which i passed on to my daughter that also came from an aunt i liked. even as a young woman i didnt care for it and the kids knew it. therefore none of them named one after me. problem is, now i like it, very much but still no grandkids named for me except the middle name. so, the middle name has lived on for freakin 5 generations that i know of... but i always wanted the name my cousin had growing up and if i was made to change it it would be that one. i named my daughter after her, Darlene!! the middle name? has been Kay, passed down for 5 generations.

I'm very very glad that where I come from, people don't have middle or second names . I like my real name, and I don't think I would change it, as I have been called by my real name since I was born and it would be weird making people to call me by a different name

Hi MsTickle! I hate my first name and my second name! I haven't changed them because it is too much of a bother to change them legally anyway so I have just been stuck with them! And I hate my last name too and since I never married I am stuck with that one which is the worse one because I hated my father! So, I would totally like to change my entire name and identity! So, what do you think I should change it too? Opal sounds nice?

I like my first name well enough. Mostly because you can make a lot of variations from it, and several nicknames. I've never cared much for my middle name. I guess that's because the only time I heard it (growing up) was when it was strung along with my first name - and I was in trouble for one thing or another...

I actually kind of like my name. When I was younger I did not like my middle name, but I have even gotten used to that. My mom told me the name that they had chosen for me if I had been a boy, and I am definitely glad that I turned out to be a girl!

I haven't changed my given name because it WAS given by my family, and I feel that holds something for them. I have other names that have been given by friends and classmates, but I mainly go by Draeke lately. I usually go by names that relate to dragons by my own chosing, drawn from my love of the creatures.

Hi Rosalie, its nice to meet you. That is a very pretty name. You haven't told us your first name, My "real" name is Vickie, I have always liked it. When I was young I used to wish my name had been Victoria. My hubby always said I looked like a Maggie, I was his Maggie, I liked it when he called me that. My stepdaughter calls me by my middle name, Lynn. And I have lots of youngens calling my Grandma, thats music to my ears.

REally never cared for my first name ,never used my middle name altho it was my grandmas and my moms middle name. My hubby had a name for me that I did like but sometimes he would change it he had a nickname for every one lol. I like my name I use in here but to old now and to much to do to change given name.

My parents named me and i am happy with my name...I have never thought of changing my name..I supposs it is the parents right to name their children..My sister has made a few statements about her name , she does not like it..They named her Winifred, so instead of changing her name she just goes by "Winnie".....I was luckey i like my name.....

Hi Rosie! I love that name! My mother had no say in my name when I was born - my grandmother insisted I was named after her. I was born in Scotland and they tend to give their children surnames as middle names, so I ended up with my first name which is Barbara and two surnames - then my father's surname! So I have 4 names in all. Apparently when I started to talk, I pronounced my name as Abbey - and it stuck! However, since I emigrated to Australia, I get called Barb mostly - but that's ok with me. I like either, and would never dream of changing it as it means a lot to me that I was named after my grandmother.

I'm pretty comfortable and happy with my name.. it's kind of cool to see how others have unique names. Think Shiloh.. Angelina Jolie's daughter..that's a cute name to me..by the way your name MsTickle is nice..have an awesome week..

One year, third grade I think, I went by my middle name, Elizabeth. That didn't last for long, and ever so often when somebody would come up to me and say "hi Elizabeth" it felt pretty strange. I've never been hugely fond of my name, I guess, but it's me and I identify with it.

Hi Mstickle, I was named by my father after his mother who was French, but I do like it, I have a friend who does not like her name so changed it by deep pole, to be honest, I don't care how many times you change your name, you will have the name you were chosen by your parents. Tamara

..Hi there MsTickle, I stood up in seventh grade and told everybody in my class, at my new school to not call me by my first name and asked that everyone use my middle name. Everyone who knows me from before the seventh grade call me by my first name, those after seventh grade call me by my middle name. My first name is very feminine and it is a reflection of my artistic side, my middle name is reflective of my business side, which is why I used my first initial with my middle name, when I was working. I would not change my name, it is me, and I believe that our names were our names, even before our mothers and fathers met each other. Roslie is a nice name. Take care.

I have changed my middle name, thanks to my father I was given a very embarrassing middle name which he stated was his father's, it can be a boys and a girls name but I've never ever heard of a guy with a name I was saddled with so I changed it to a far more appealing one of my choice. My first name is Brian and I get so sick and tired of so many people spelling it incorrectly, the amount of people throughout my life have spelt it Brain, I mean look at it, it's obviously WRONG! My mum wanted to call me Shane and I would much rather have been christened Shane than Brian.

I really dislike my name. the meaning of my name indicates that I’m supposed to light up other’s worlds and lives for them…I’m supposed to bring in the light…such a weak sacrificial lamb type of name as if I was born not for myself but for mankind…for all I care, my mom should have kept me at the nunnery! I haven’t really changed it coz it’s a big bother but I sincerely believe that the way we are named, reflects a lot of our personalities. I don’t know the logic or the science behind it or even if its true at all, but I wish I was names something better…something with a lot of character in it.

Mine is Tina Marie. My Mom named me after the actress on Gilligan's Island Tina Louise. I've always thought my name was really plain and there weren't many Tina's around when I was growing up but now there are dozens of them. I like it alright now that I'm older and I wouldn't change it b/c my Mom picked it out for me. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

Hello Ms Tickle My youngest daughter wants to change her from Shawn to Shawnee since she is girl. Most people when I call to make appoinment auotmatically thinks she is male and not female and her middle is no better I picked Erin which could be a boy or girl. I want a full Irish name that well with my last name which is polish with a lot letters in it. I would let her if she wants to after she turn 18 which she tuned 18 March 4 of this year. No talk yet of changing her name we will see. I know it seems like a very male but she is girly girly etc... But it is also a strong name too(at least that what I thought when I picked it and pretty) and I am the Mom. Oh well I will let her decide when she wants to do it. Thanks and Have a Great Easter Weekend Sincerely Unique16

sometimes our name given by our parents has a meaning. sometimes it could be joined by the name of our grandparents. but for me, i like my name because my parents give it to me. it doesn't matter for me if my name is not beautiful, but i like it. it depends on you on how to handle with your name., or if doesn't like it must prefer to select your nake-name a beautiful one.

LOL yes that's right every people in the world they found their name from their Parents or Anyone is considered to entitle their name when anyone since newborn... for example... 1. the Grandfather or grandmother 2.
