Does your first name suck?
I'm quite happy with Jim, or James to be exact
I prefer Jim to James but hey ho neither are that bad.
Siobhan doesn't like her name, she says nobody knows how to say it properly
Yvonne likes her name, I think it's a lovely name.
I know a guy called Tarquin and he hates his name because everyone takes the piss out of his name constantly as it sounds really entitled and posh.
So does your first name suck or do you quite like it?

That's good you like yours.
I don't like mine lol, in fact I've gone by another name when I was a teenager lol. But now I wouldn't like that name either. Maybe I should go by what my name would be in French

I am perfectly fine by my name. Mom named me after a bookstore that used to be in San Fransisco. The only thing I don't like about my name is that no one ever spells it right. My name is spelled S-T-A-C-E-Y, and even people who've known me for a long time leave out the "E".

@Ineeddentures No, you never spell it wrong.
To me, "Stacy" looks like it should be pronounced "Stacky".

I don't ponder over it but I suppose a cool name is better than such a generic common name.

@Ineeddentures Yeah, but I don't care the same name as the Supreme Court justice and nickname for clients of working girls.

Aye poor Tarquin
Lining up at the food bank and getting his name called and people looking to see who he was.
He said that happened, nobody believes someone called Tarquin could be poor

I am very used to my name and the combination of my first and second names RasmaSandra. Noe I know why when you mention Yvonne a bell sort of rings, It reminds me of Yvonne de Carlo who portrayed Lilly in The Munsters,

People in our Highlands who say " you Fakur or you Can't would struggle methinks
