I used to wish my name was Gabi (I guess Gabrielle, but it was really Gabi that I liked). I have done a lot of creative writing, and when I have a character based on me, her name is always Isabel. But I really like my name, although it's really common in my age group.

Always hated my name. It rhymes with unpleasant things. That's fun growing up. It was also popular.

I used to want my name to be Jessica now my name is growing on me... slowly.



This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry's girlfriend's name was Dolores....

I don't mind my name but if I could I'd probably change it to Alexa or Dayna.

When I was a kid, I would have chosen Heather or Crystal.

Now? I'll just keep it since I've had it this long anyway.

Re: Heard this on the radio today and thought it was interesting...if you could chose your own name...

I was supposed to be Madeline which would probably have been shortened to Maddy. I don't think it fits really.

I like my name because of who I'm named after, and my nickname. But I love flower names and when I used to play Sims, my character's names were always things like Tulip, Buttercup, Lily, Aster, Fern...

I love my name - Sabrina.

It's not popular and I know only one other person with the same name.

Re: Heard this on the radio today and thought it was interesting...if you could chose your own name...

Over the years my name has sort of become who I am. Seriously just about everyone I know calls me "Jenn (insert maiden name here)". It's actually kind of funny because people still called me that even after I got married, so, with that said, I couldn't imagine being called anything else.

However, I've always liked the name Laine.

When I was younger I hated my name and loved the names Laurie and Stacy. As I got older I began to like it. I love it and wouldn't change it.

Re: Heard this on the radio today and thought it was interesting...if you could chose your own name...

I had a pretty tough time growing up with a very Italian name like mine. Everyone in my classes had typical names and here I am with this weird name. It wasn't fun, let me tell you. So yes I would def. change my name. It would have made my younger years easier!

Re: Heard this on the radio today and thought it was interesting...if you could chose your own name...

Too funny. I'm Jillian and I don't think it's all that fantastic. Don't get me wrong, I like my name, but I just think there's better ones out there. Given the opportunity now, I probably wouldn't change it though. I feel like a Jillian.

ETA: The other names my parents were considering for me were Elizabeth or Kimberley. I don't mind the names, but I can't picture myself as a Kimberley. Nor a Liz.

When I was a kid, I thought Christine was an old lady name because the only person I knew named Chris was an old lady. Now, I don't really think about it.

I used to go by Samantha at my last job - I like that name a lot.

As a kid, I hated my name (Laura). Now I'm so used to it it doesn't really bother me. I used to love the name Christine, but now if I could choose, I'd choose Alyse.

My name is Beth, just Beth. I wish I were Elizabeth, so I could go by Liz. I feel like I'm more of a Liz than a Beth.



i'm Lizbeth and most people call me Liz. my grandmother calls me libby. only one person ever called me beth. i used to love hearing when he called me that.

i used to hate my name because everyone assumes i'm ELIZABETH. they don't bother to read. so i've spent a lot of time correcting people.

as i get older, and am understanding the meaning of the name: hebrew for consecrated to God. i'm trying my best to live up to the name.

the other name that was being considered when i was born were Mae (but i was born in may, so that was voted out), and Tomasina (my dad is Tomas... my mom vetoed that one)... although, i might have liked being called Tommy

OMG, do you want to know the other name my mom was considering (had to be a B after my grandmother Bessie)?

I like my name now but I didn't when I was a kid. I wanted a more common name, like Lisa. There were *only* 5 of them in my class already. Chat Icon

I HATE when people shorten my name though. I'm just not a "Becky". At all.

Hate it. Would do either Lindsay or spell my name Lyndie so people would stop calling me Linda. If I could have picked my name I would have picked Isabelle.
