Would you change your name?

If you got the chance, how many of you would change your real name? What would you change it to, and why?

Guess you'd have to put me down for a 'no' on that one. Can't imagine ever changing my name.

Dobber, Pat, you had to put your name in it

Mmm, my Mother chose mine, it's a tad more common here now in Australia than it was when I was born, but my Father, wanted to call me Venise, after looking at venision blinds on the wall, bwhahaha.. Now I've never heard of that name

I always liked Catia sounds like " CARTCHIA"

But, I've shortened mine now, even though, those around me won't use it

I don't particularly like my name, I dont think many people do, but I would never change my first name. My Mum chose my name, so I wouldnt consider changing it unless it was for my own safety. I have however, changed my surname legally.

Yes, Brad Pitt, 'cos I have a stunning resemblance to him !
Just kidding ladies before you all rush to my door. On second thoughts, it's true, please come !! x

I quite like my name

It makes me seem innocent! So no. I wouldn't.
Whichever name I like, I'll name my kids it

but I do have a rediculous list haha I met a gorgeous little girl named Disney once and since then i've loved the name!

**ItsASecret** · 07-24-2010 09:53 AM

I would, but I am just far too lazy to sign all those papers to do so.

**Traveller** · 07-24-2010 12:18 PM

I like my name only met 2 other people with the same name.. only thing i don't like is trying to tell people how to pronounce it. but its different all over the place.. as long as I dont get karena its all good.I don't know why but I always have had a reaction to that name.

I have a friend who thought the name Erin was too common so she legally changed it to Bryn. I thought that was odd since Bryn is almost as common.

I would never change my name Now..

As **Rest her Spirit ** My Cherokee Grandmother named me, as per "The Trail of Tears Tradition" ...

Although, when I was younger, I was teased alot as it is very Unusual and so far ... the only one by my name ( at least in the 6 states I have lived in ).. And in all of my 55 years ( almost, Next Month is 55 for me...) Everyone says it is the first they have heard of it As a First Name.

When I write it or say it on a phone or make an order online, Everyone mispells it or mistakes it for several names with similer sounds . GRRRRR !!!! Lmao

I did however stay in "Cherokee Tradition" when I named my oldest son, now 35, London...
Yes, London after the City. London, England... As a school aged child he hated it !!! Mostly due to the kids singing " London's Britches falling Down" to the nursery rhyme London Bridge is falling Down..

But now , he loves his name as the name London is more know as a Last name, not a First , as in Jack London or Julie London, Writer and Actress.

To those that do not like or think too "common" a name. Remember there is a Reason your Parent(s) named you that. If they are alive, it's a good question to ask sometime... (if not alive, ask a relative).

How they chose your name ?

Family History name or favorite Movie Star/relative ? Religon or Tribal name... Best Friends name, Just liked the sound ?

Hate Your Name ?

Use your middle name or your Childhood Nickname or your * Self chosen * name. Like a chat name. Or shorten parts of your name or combine First and Middle.. Many ways to Be Who You Are in a Name you are Comphy with..
