What's in a name

I liked what SexGod said. He said that we should define our names and not let our names define us. Also, the anonymous user said that names bring back good or bad memories. I think that sometimes we need to not allow the names we have to carry a stigma or that we should bring good vibes to our names - that when people hear our names, they have good, positive feelings! That's how I want people to remember my name (which is an unusual name as well). When people hear my name, I want them to be like, "Cool!"

I think that when a person hears certain names, it just normally brings about memories and feelings because of people we may have known or met in our past. It either brings good feelings or bad feelings - kind of like how when we smell certain smells or visit certain places - we either have good feelings or bad feelings about it. That's how names are for a lot of people. We tend to either remember them with good or bad feelings.

I love my girl's name & it's very unusual. I never asked her if she likes her name or not, but I love it because I love her! The only girls names I don't like are like the really old weird names like Gertrude & weird stuff like that!

Names are a funny thing. I guess for me there are consonant sounding and dissonant sounding names - like notes in music. Like A min is a sad sounding note, and D maj is kind of a happy sounding note.

Or like when your watching a movie, if you closed your eyes you can still tell when something good or bad is happening just by listening to the music. Like if you watched a late 80's Friday The 13th movie, you'd know when Jason is coming just by hearing "Ha ha ha, Oh Oh Oh" lol, but you know what I mean. You wouldn't have to be looking at the tv to know.

Or lol, if you saw Indiana Jones and heard "Ba bada bun ba" you know he just escaped from danger.

But names have a certain expectation due to what someone personally thinks sounds good or bad, we all have different tastes. And also what seems uncommon and then common.

and Aiden was a name that was uncommon in my area where I live now a lot of people seemed to use it. At first I was surprised a little when I heard it, like where did they come up with it? Now it just seemed like a trend that passed.

I personally when I never met a girl but people tell me a name always picture people that I have met or seen in other places with that same name, but if a meet a girl face to face the name makes no deference.

My name is Lisa, so whenever I introduce myself to someone, the reaction is:
-like Lisa Simpson? or
-like Lisa from Saved by the Bell?

It's pretty annoying. I've also been told I have a boring name. I wish my parents would've named me after one of their grandmothers. Loretta and Genevieve aren't as common as Lisa.

i always wonder if guys think that girls with really common traditional names are boring. you know like emily or mary or elizabeth.

or if they think people with certain names should be a certain way. like in the breakfast club when the guy says that claire is a fat girls name.

i'm not sure, there may be something to it, but only initially. when the guy gets to know you he'll get past the name, whatever it is, and judge you on your personality [and of course, the way you look].

It's just a name unless they don't like the girl and her name stands out!
There's a girl I know called tamara and the boys are always making fun of her, stuff like cya tamara tamara, but there aren't many weird names around anyway so I wouldn't worry bout it!

Well, it depends. If I meet a guy face to face and his looks help him pull of his name assuming it's "different" then who cares but if I don't know the guy and his name is "different" I will probably look in another direction. Call me shallow but whatever lol.
