Do you like your given name?

[Aggie]

With all these babies being born (from the board and people I know personally) it got me thinking about baby names. It seems like so much thought and care goes into choosing the "perfect" name, but how often is the child happy with it?

It seems like a lot of people don't like their name, so I thought we'd take a poll. Personally, I like mine but I hate my middle name. What say you?

[ANC]

I like mine just fine!

I think I remember going through a phase as a little kid that I didn't like it though.

[NateCantDance]

Yep, I hated mine growing up, but I've grown to like it.

[ToiletCrusher]

Mine works well.

I wouldn't exchange it for any other 4 letter male name.

[ANC]

Mine works well.

I wouldn't exchange it for any other 4 letter male name.

you said it Chad!

[JerseyRich]

I like mine because there are lots of different ways to say it.

My middle name I could take it or leave it...it's not important enough to have a real opinion on.

[Snoogans]

I hate having to explain to people why my name is spelled right. Other than that, I'm fine with it

[led37zep]

Yes, Yes I do.

When I was a kid I used to hate it. I've been known as Chad as long as I've been alive but my given name is Charles. Something bothered me about it when I was young...not sure why.

As I grew older and I realized it was a family name and I was 8th Charles Parker I started to really appreciate it and dig the name. I slowly started working it into professional situations.

I still go by Chad (especially in the listening threads and on the phone) but that's mainly because its what I've been known as my entire life.

[spoon]

Everyone knows how to spell douchey mcclarty. Just stop.

[drjoek]

I hate having to explain to people why my name is spelled right. Other than that, I'm fine with it

Whats your actual name?

[Aggie]

So far the yes's are killing. I'm assuming most of you have "common" names. Maybe it's people with the names like Moon that don't like their's. Sometimes different isn't better. I almost got a hippie name, Sequoia or something like that. Silly.

[SilentSpic]

Since I was adopted, I had an opportunity to change my name to John, but my family preferred to leave it as Armando, which they made the right decision.

[TheGameHHH]

I love my name, always have

[Lady Resin]

I hate my name. It sounds like a little old ladies name. But I have to respect my mom for naming me after her youngest brother who died when he was 5. She added *ine* to my name to make it sound feminine.

[Aggie]

I love my name, always have

I wouldn't expect anything less from an egomaniac like you. :sleep:

[~Katja~]

I am not a fan of my name but it's pretty common in Germany... since I live here people have said it is pretty so I have liked it more here than growing up. And it is fun to hear people butcher it.

[RhinoinMN]

Its not everyone's fault that they aren't fluent in Chinese.

Armando wins over Juan.

Ernestine?

[RoseBlood]

I like my first name, it's unoriginal and people misspell it, but it could be worse.
My middle name causes confusion and my last name people like to have fun with because it's a word.

[Snoogans]

Whats your actual name?

Shaun

[ToiletCrusher]

Shaun

I think you meant to say, Shawn.

Am I right, Sean?

[TheGameHHH]

I wouldn't expect anything less from an egomaniac like you. :sleep:

Oh you can kiss my butt. I hate my last name. Does that make me less of an egomaniac?

I think you meant to say, Shawn.

Am I right, Sean?

but what about Sjaun?

Do you have ideas for names of babies?

I have two that are normal enough to not get mocked, but different enough so that they wouldn't have 10 other kids in their class with the same name.

Benjamin or Nigel
and
Sofia

[Dude!]

it's really Deshaun

[Hottub]

My name's OK, but the spelling is ghey. Much like snoogans'.

I hate the name Brett, but glad you like it.

I looooove your name, yeah probably cause it's not common in the States.
Shaun
Shaun/Shawn > Sean.

Mom was going to name me Daniel, but it didn't go with my last name that starts with a D.

I think there was another thread about baby names and I already said there that Miles and Nigel are names I really like.. eve if they will get kicked for them :)

[Dude!]

i love my name
first, middle and last
are all very scottish sounding

[JerseyRich]

Dick is my favorite.


Are the MODS sleeping again?

[Aggie]

Geraldine blah....

That's not terrible but it does sound outdated. It's better because it has meaning. Do you go by a nickname or something?

Oh you can kiss my butt. I hate my last name. Does that make me less of an egomaniac?

I can never spell your last name right, it's a pain in the ass.

Do you have ideas for names of babies?


I like your names. I'm for sure using Joshua for my boys name. I have way too many ideas for girls to have it narrowed down.

[TheGameHHH]

I hate the name Brett, but glad you like it .

Now I wanna cry

[Hottub]

you said it Chad!

I figuratively spit water out.

:lol:

[Aggie]

If I was a kid again I'd kick the ass of every Nigel in my school just for fun

You can't blame him, he's a limey bastard and needs to keep the tradiiton alive.

[~Katja~]

I hate the name Brett, but glad you like it.



Brett makes me laugh cause it's pretty much timber translated from the German... some also call it Latte which is the same term as morning wood... so I kinda relate it to that and giggle

[led37zep]

I figuratively spit water out.

:lol:

you bastards! :bye:

[Aggie]

I was almost named Ryan. Tragedy averted.

My cousin just named her little girl Rhyan. Don't know if I like it or not.

[~Katja~]

I like your names. I'm for sure using Joshua for my boys name. I have way too many ideas for girls to have it narrowed down.

Joshua and Sebastian... two more names on my list that I love!

[Contra]

I like my first and middle names (they're biblical!), especially having my middle name as my uncle's name. Its meant more to me since his passing.

My last name is just very...Italian. I like it though.

[TheGameHHH]

Brett makes me laugh cause it's pretty much timber translated from the German... some also call it Latte which is the same term as morning wood... so I kinda relate it to that and giggle


Sadly you're not the only person that has laughed at my morning wood

I'm cool with mine...

Even if Rose makes fun of it.:furious:

You sunnofabitch!

[Sarge]

I like my name, don't particularly like being called Tony though.

I can never spell your last name right, it's a pain in the ass.

Try having to pronounce it to every teacher you've ever had growing up. Torture

[Aggie]

I like my name, don't particularly like being called Tony though.

Nothing's worse than someone shortening your name when you don't approve it. Say the whole thing dammit!

[JerseyRich]

Whatever Lorrie.

[TheGameHHH]

Hahaha, now I like it.



Yes! Now I'm happy again

[Aggie]

Whatever Lorrie.

Be quiet, Dick.

That's what I kept saying. I'm glad we agree!

[Sarge]

Usually people I don't know will call me Tony, then ask if I prefer Anthony, tools.

I call people by whatever name they introduce themselves to me as.. not that difficult.

Yes! Now I'm happy again
I hate your board name though.

I like Aggie's name. At least he's not calling you dum broad or toots.

[hammersavage]

I like mine, its the best spelling. At least the 2nd best. And my last name couldn't be better.

[TripleSkeet]

I like my name. I think it fits me well.


The trend I see nowadays especially with young mothers, is combining names or just changing the spellings which annoy the shit out of me.

I dont want to offend anyone that may have kids with these names so Ill pick one from a relative of mine that decided to combine Chloris with Linda for Chlorinda. I fucking hate it.

Another one is my friends sister who decided to name her daughter Giulia. Its just seems like such a desperate way of trying to be unique I find it pathetic.

[JerseyRich]

Be quiet, Dick.

I actually prefer that to Rick.

The name Rick makes me vomit in my mouth a little.

[RoseBlood]

And my last name couldn't be better.
Yay!!! for having actual words for last names!!! :happy:

[RhinoinMN]

I actually prefer that to Rick.

The name Rick makes me vomit in my mouth a little.

Was Rick that man the face fucked you?

[Aggie]

I like Aggie's name. At least he's not calling you dum broad or toots.

It was great until about 1993 when my nickname became "Bobbit". Ugh. And I don't even pronounce it the same as her so there's even more confusion. I still like my name though.

[JerseyRich]

Was Rick that man the face fucked you?

Wanna try that again?

[~Katja~]

Wanna try that again?

so Rhino's middle name is Rick and you LIKED it?!

[RoseBlood]

Was Rick that man the face fucked you?

Wanna try that again?

He said: It's hard to speak with your cock in my mouth.

[JerseyRich]

He said: It's hard to speak with your cock in my mouth.

If I had a dollar for everytime I've heard that...






















































...I'd still be broke.

[RhinoinMN]

Wanna try that again?

Nah. First time was bad enough.

[hammersavage]

I actually prefer that to Rick.

The name Rick makes me vomit in my mouth a little.

Now I know what I will call you forever.

It was great until about 1993 when my nickname became "Bobbit". Ugh. And I don't even pronounce it the same as her so there's even more confusion. I still like my name though.

They should have quoted Swingers and said 'like the quiche?' then you could say 'Like the quiche? That's a really original joke.'

[JerseyRich]

Now I know what I will call you forever.



Forever is just a silly name to call someone.

[hammersavage]

Ya bearded (p)Rick!

Can we all just agree that Gregory is the correct way to spell it...

Enough with the double "g".

Gvac will agree with this.

I can"t blame ya Misti... every time I hear you real name I have to think of this old black and white comedy we used to watch growing up... but at least the old broad was funny!

[Misteriosa]

i dont like my first name (Agnes) but its something ive grown into. childhood was rough. i still get mess about my name sometimes. the looks of disbelief on people's faces are fun to watch when i do tell people my name, tho

and i dont have the option of a middle name

edit: HA! i get the sympathy vote before ive even posted :o

[ANC]

I like my name, don't particularly like being called Tony though.

Also as a kid I hated the "Anthony, it's Prince Macaroni Day!". Is it? Is it really?

[weekapaugjz]

Love mine. James Marvin. Middle name is after my grandfather. I think I'd hate it if my mom would have called me jim or jimmy though. Or even worse, jimi.

[RoseBlood]

Love mine. James Marvin. Middle name is after my grandfather. I think I'd hate it if my mom would have called me jim or jimmy though. Or even worse, jimi.

What about Jimbone?! I met a kid growing up who actually told me "I prefer Jimbone". He was serious and that was the last time I ever saw him.

[Aggie]

Spellings can be a bitch. I agree with you Rich on Gregory. My little cousin was born and lives in Ireland and is named "Reese" but with the traditional Irish spelling of Rhys. Would you get that on the first try?

[Misteriosa]

i ran "agnes" thru the google image search... not as depressing as i thought :o

edit: the old people that came up were agnes moorhead, agnes heller and st. agnes :o

agnes lum, monica, and bruckner ftw!

[TheGameHHH]

I hate your board name though.


It's pretty clear you hate everything about me

[JerseyRich]

It's pretty clear you hate everything about me

You have a penis...so yes.

[Edwin]

I really like mine. Edwin Landis Garrett II. Named after my grandfather.

Name I hate being called: Edward.

[Aggie]

Oh Misti, I'm glad you've come to accept your name. It would be hard to be teased. It only made you stronger!

It's pretty clear you hate everything about me

I think she hates all men. That's why she joined the dyke club with me and kat.

yeah... finding out that i was named after an aunt that died in infancy helped things along... :o

<---no middle name either. Actually nobody in my family does.

Cot-ya.

Well with my name I'll cut it off!

Mine is Lorena but it's not pronounced "Loraina" it's more like Loretta except but an 'n' where the t's are.

It's perfect.

I hate my name. It just screams "fat retard."

agnes lum, monica, and bruckner ftw!

My mom's name was Agnes. It was the name of her mom as well. I like to think of them both as being cool people so there is two more for your list!

I hated my name growing up (Kathleen). Being the tall, blond, blazingly white girl in a town of Italians and blacks was bad enough, the name just made me seem even more of a freak. Then I went to a Catholic college where every other girl had the same name and I got over it. Plus most people either call me Kat or Kathy anyway so I don't think about it much.

[Lady Resin]

My husband and I have the same nickname. Jerry and Jeri. If you ask one of us question, it's sure deal one of us will answer.

[Mr.Positive Pants]

I love it.

[zildjian361]

I'll take Mark anyday over what they named my kid brother,Randolph aka Randy. you know how many kid's i had to beat up every Chritmas for calling him Rudolph, until he could fight on his own.:smoke::drunk:

[sr71blackbird]

I hate my name. My name is Joseph and I have yet to see a Joseph that is not fat. So, I am fat because my name is Joseph. I hope no one names their children Joseph, because if you do, you are condemning them to life of being fat.

[Lady Resin]

I love it.

One time Jerry and I went to our local pub. Jerrys co-worker walked in and a guy I went to high school with walked in a few minutes later. There we were sitting at the bar 3 Jerrys and 1 Jeri. The locals, great friends of ours, kept calling out the name. Either none of us would answer or answer at the same time when they yelled our names. Good times!:drunk:

[Kublakhan61]

Do you have ideas for names of babies?

I have two that are normal enough to not get mocked, but different enough so that they wouldn't have 10 other kids in their class with the same name.

Benjamin or Nigel
and
Sofia

I was considering Sofia, or more so, Sophie - I looked it up and discovered that the name is on the rise. It's like naming your kid Dylan.

[~Katja~]

I was considering Sofia, or more so, Sophie - I looked it up and discovered that the name is on the rise. It's like naming your kid Dylan.

I hate my sister's name... it just does not sound nice... at the time it was still unique but just months after it started picking up in town and more kids were named the same for a few more years... her name is Ilka
When we picked the name for my niece it was a similar story, though I LOVE her name ... but she was the first to be named that in town and it has been picked up since, her name is Leonie

[Lady Resin]

My sisters name is Nadine and she hates it. My mother got it from a woman she use to work with was from France.

[razorboy]

I dig being an Ian.

[TooLowBrow]

I dig being an Ian.

is that ian like eye-an or ee-an?

he hated it growing up

Lukas' name is Henry?

so is Lukas his board name?

[cougarjake13]

no not really



i woulda preferred the name i was gonna get but ultimately didnt cause a cousin of mine who was born a few months before me, died, and my parents felt it wouldnt be right to give me that name

[~Katja~]

Lukas' name is Henry?

so is Lukas his board name?

ha, his middle name is... Lukas Henry!

There were a lot of kings named Henry, it makes him royal... sorta... well he is my king anyway

[King Hippos Bandaid]

I love my first name, it is perfect like me



my middle name and last name are torture on my soul

Richard Neil, I like it and it follows our German traditions. My last name though is a butt for people to pronounce or spell which makes me like it more.

[IamFogHat]

It's weird, the two cousins who I'm closest to hate their names, and I have no idea why, I think they're both pretty names, but I guess girls are typically more judgmental about things about themselves they can't control if that makes any sense. Anyway, I think my name is cool, even though it's pretty common.

[MHasegawa]

I loved Manny but never liked Emmanuel - too many syllables.

[razorboy]

Close, more German though.

Richard Neil Boosterp-Buttenheim?

Neil is not a typical German name though... and your last name just means "mean" translated

I had a great uncle whose middle name was that and you are correct about my last name which is not fitting what so ever.

Richard Neil Boosterp-Buttenheim?

Closer.

I hate my given first name. That's why I legally changed it when I was in my 20s.

Did anyone else change their name?

[Hottub]

Goddam hippie parents!

[TripleSkeet]

I dont have a middle name. Somehow my mother had this idea that when they drafted boys for the military the ones with middle names got drafted first.

Has anyone ever heard of anything that psychotic? Oh this was in 1976 too.

[Devo37]

my first name's fine.

never liked my last name. it sounds very Guttural and everyone mis-pronounces it.

[A.J.]

Why do you think I go by "A.J"?

Not legally but I haven't used my given name (first or last) in about 6 six years.

[grlNIN]

I like it, sometimes annoys me that it is assumed that i am Spanish because of it (via phone mostly). If i also had a nickel for every time someone sung my name to me i would be rich.

My middle name is a variation of my mother's middle name and my last name has been fucked up to high heavens in pronunciation throughout my life. Other than that it is almost the perfect palindrome sans 1 letter.

[~Katja~]

Why do you think I go by "A.J"?

you are not fat so the J can't be for Joseph

She seems nice.

If your name was Marisol, Maryse, or Mara; then I could see the assumption.

In college people assumed I was Mexican (or at least half) all the time. Mostly because of my name, but also because I don't look like the typical blonde, blue eyed white girl down here.

Since my name is not that common people thought I was spanish all the time based on my married last name... it was so annoying. I would get all kinds of mail and calls in Spanish, even from my bank or insurance... talk about racial profiling... I even yelled at a solicitor once cause his attitude towards me just pissed me off...

Yeah but the Italians usually go the "Marie" route, at least in Jersey that's the stereotype.

It mostly happens at work (New Brunswick area), so i guess they go by what the standard they are more commonly used to.

maybe that is just in your area? I have worked with many Maria's and they were Italian or German... it probably depends on the population of Italians or Hispanics in the area you are in.. and which group the name typically gets "assigned" to...

"There must have been two dozen Peters and Pauls at the wedding. Plus, they were all married to girls named Marie. And they named all their daughters Marie. By the time I finished meeting everybody, I thought I was drunk."

I hate my name. My name is Joseph and I have yet to see a Joseph that is not fat. So, I am fat because my name is Joseph. I hope no one names their children Joseph, because if you do, you are condemning them to life of being fat.

Name as the Gov't sees it is Jeffrey. I drop the formality and until my latest job not even family calls me by the full name. I don't mind it, but I see Jeffrey as the name of a prick.
