If you had to name yourself.....

Amanda Marie - I've always liked the name Amanda (Mandy for short) and would still take my mom's first name as my middle.

My middle name now is Louise (same as my mom's middle name and my grandmother).


Ro,

Unique names can be a curse or a blessing. I have NEVER met anyone in my life that had my real first name - tho it does exist. I looked it up one time on the net - there are both males and females with my name - but only a few hundred out of the billions of people. IMO you don't want a totally unique name - something uncommon but not that unique!

Well, personally I like my name (Linda), but if I had a gun to my head and was forced to pick a new one.....

Hmmm...

*thinks*

*rubs chin*

*thinks some more*

Probably "Jillian". I don't know anyone with that name and I have always liked it but I've never been one to picture myself with a different name. So yeah....Jillian.

I have 2 middle names...one is Louise. That was my grandmother's name on my father's side.

It can be unique and not sound stupid. I would love a name everyones asking me about and that nobody has. I dont care if nobody likes it, ID like it lol. Im so glad my parents did give me a name like Brittney or Courtney LOL, I tottaly dislike common names...if your name isnt practically made up I dont like it (no offense).

LOL!!!!1 I wonder if that ever happens

Oh I HATE my name being Jennifer, and my middle name is Lynn which is also incredibly common.

I love the names Jade and Cory and Brenya and Arlyn is a beautiful name, I like the sound of Irish or Celtic names...

LOL me and my friend were JUST last night talking about how common the middle name Lynn is. I told her ive never met anyone with that middle name. She said she hates the name Elizabeth and thats my middle name LOL

Ohh that is such a hard decision!

I wouldn't mind being called Stella. I love that name, its so pretty. There is a girl at my work whose name is Adela Jane, and I think that is a lovely name, I wouldn't mind being called that.

I love the name Jordan, so if I could change my name.. it would be Jordan.

L Adora Victoria

Lilith morgan rose..

When I was a kid, I went through a phase of calling myself Diana, followed by a phase of calling myself Julie. When I finally got back to my real name, I was so relieved! Carol is right for me.

But I love the name Claire for myself, too... or I did, until I got to know a woman with that name who turned out to be awfully small of mind. No more Claire.

Liked Catherine, too, until my brother married one and she turned out to be Evil Incarnate.

I do like Wren, though -- I knew someone once who was given Wren as a nickname for Catherine (-rine, Wren), and I think that's lovely.

But if I really had to choose... I'd be Pearl, the name I gave my little Pearlygirl kitty.

When I was 20 I contemplated changing my name... to Morgan Adams.

My real name is Amanda, got called Mandy growing up and HATED it... I see it as a child's name, not for an adult. It's cutesy to me (although I do like the song, shuush you Barry haters)...

I'll use Morgan someday as an alternate pen name. For the time being, I opted to use my real first name, but family names for my last name: A.P. Adams, short for Amanda Parker Adams. If I ever get my kids books going, I'll probably use Morgan to keep them separate from the sci-fi and fantasy.

Amanda

Violet, or Mikey.

Both of which I have been called by people. I went through a phase in elementary school of trying to force people to call me really random stripper names like Bubbles. People still remember that when I run into people from my class.

I despise my middle name for a myriad of reasons, and I'm likely to actually change that when I get married.

My real name is Rachel and I like it..I didn't used to. But I have always liked the names Alexis and Desiree.

Melissa, Catherine or Kaylee.. But since I called my cat Kaylee I think i'll have to go with the other two!

While i was in my mums belly, she called me catherine untill two days after I was born my dad said I had to be called Francesca with no middle name :S

Actually i don't mind my first name, because mum chose it from the Jane Austen novel, and i love her books. I'd much rather change my surname to my mums maiden name. It's ugly and half the dimwits i meet can't pronounce it, yet it's so simple *sighs*
