Do you feel good when someone compliments you on your name?

[Bethany22]

Do you react as though they are complimenting you as a person as well, or do you feel awkward because you didn't do anything to get your name?

I feel as though they're complimenting me as a person

I feel neutral/awkward

I feel annoyed

[sawno]

Positive to the intentions behind it, neutral on the actual compliment.

[krin_m]

Sure, why not! A compliment is a compliment and I thank them for it.

[krin_m]

Thanks for the MHO!

[Guy13]

Yeah sure but my name is so boring one yawns when saying it.
It’s much more fun…. I’m usually getting called a Name according to body cues🙃. And that’s so much more interesting as I learn new Kra-Dai, Thai, and Hindi regional and tonal expletives. 🗣

[NathanDavis]

from your choices, mostly neutral...

I am just used to it, my second name seems to be a likeable one by few people, they think it is a very good sounding name, and my nickname seems to be popular as well

I certainly don't feel bad or annoyed in any way, but I do not make it more than just a compliment on my name, it just is what is

No, because my name is Phillip Micucci. And anyone that would compliment my name I assume is just taunting me. I don't have it as bad as my sister Sharon though. She was teased much more growing up than I was. My parents said they didn't do this intentionally but I don't believe them. 😡

[Bethany22]

Does Sharon share? :D

[Chazmatazz269]

None of the above; i laugh. I’m also quick to point out that i didn’t name myself. Big fan of Bill Engvall and “Here’s your (idiot) sign.”! Ell oh ell!

Well as my name is usually a girls name I always tell them its a family name on my mom's dad sides because they was Irish and his dad was name Kelly. I was kinda made fun of my name in grade school but changed in highschool and girls liked it.

[loveslongnails]

It's not like I had anything to do with it so thank my parents. LOL If I had changed my name and chosen my current one, I'd say "thanks, I picked it myself".

[socair]

I just think they are bit dim

although I imagine it might be different for people with unusual names whether they chose them or not

[Mtbgirl]

Like my real name? That’s odd my name is nothing off the wall

[FunkyMonkee]

It's never happened. What's there to compliment?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I feel as though they're complimenting me as a person.

[snackthatsmilesback]

I go by a nickname that I decided so yeah, I'd feel complimented. Means I picked good. 👍

[pizzalovershouse]

I dont get that most people can't pronounce my last name first time right they butcher it so do automated bank voice machines an phones

[Nikki1989]

With my name, that would be an odd compliment to get.

[XXblack88]

Neutral being complement it on my name isn't that big of a deal to me.

[collie22]

People sometimes make fun of my name, collie isn't a common name I guess

[Dnice1]

Yes I do feel very good about hearing my name getting complimented

[jayhams]

Why would a compliment on something I didn't have to earn feel good?

[Jennz6]

Yes, I like it when people are using my name

[Teriyaki70]

Nobody has. They rarely remember it. Lmaooooooo

[InsecureLivesMatter]

Feel like it's the first time ever because usually I get compliments from my family
