How do you feel about your name?
|
Can't Post
|
|
Curious G's thread about giving a child a Tolkien inspired name prompted me to think about how I feel ( and how I used to feel) about my name. Which, of course, led me to create a poll about what others think about theirs. I'm not asking for real names here, just your feelings about them.
For me, I used to haaate my name; I begged my mom to change it. But over time I came to accept it, if for no other reason than that I don't run into twenty other people with the same name. Later, I noticed that on those few occasions when there was a character with my name in a movie or on TV, she was almost always smart and spunky. So I've come to rather like my name. One bad thing: it lends itself to stupid jokes. Not mean or crude jokes, just stupid. And people always seem to think they are the first to come up with them 
You can choose more than one answer, so please share.
