Do you like the name your parents gave you?

Question

I feel like I am one of the few who do like the name they were given. My name is Chantal, and I love it because it's unique to my country and pretty.

Yes I like mine my son name is Steve my middle name is Mike my family all my family calls me Mike and at 10 years old my stepdad my mom got divorced and I was angry we moved to another state and the teacher said if you're new to the class stand-up say your name so I stood up and I said hi my name is Steve LOL so it's kind of funny if I'm around my friends and family my friends are calling me Steve my family calls me Mike and they say what is going on I thought you were Steve and my friends that work they call me Ohshee, i guess because when someone screws up at work and I see it I guess I say oh shit quite often LOL

But I would like to understand something is what happened 5 10 15 20 25 years ago did they stop making baby name books I want to know what happened and why so many parents started naming their kids anonymous did they run out of names or something who in the hell would name their kid anonymous if you've noticed they're on every app I've ever been on there's more Anonymous is in the world in people with Bob Carol Mike Linda with names like that why would you name your kid an ominous I just don't get it

I think it’s more indifference than a like or hate. It’s just a name. My last name for certain helped me get attention because it sounds “fancy”. My first name? Couldn’t care much. It’s The most common name especially among Irish people ( Patrick). I prefer Pat

you said it alright, chantal is indeed a nice name, sounds nice to hear it. i dont really like the name nor the nickname my parents gave me... tried to change it permanently at work, but then one day my family came to pick me at work bcos my car was broken... they asked for me, using my actual name. after that day, people at work still called me by what i told them, but the point is, it still felt like a failed experiment. hope this helped.

I like it because its unique and unisex so I can hide my gender which increases my chances of finding a job - my screen name is not my real name - my real name uses words from another language.

snackthatsmilesback · Answer

That is a nice name.

I don't like mine just cause it's really common and that's all. It's not a family name doesn't have any cool meaning it doesn't even sound cool on its own. They basically just called me "son" lol.

Actually recently I've started going by my last name cause it sounds cooler and is a family name. And I do like that name.

nolabels · Answer

Sure. There were times when I was young that I said that I didn't care for it, but I think that was just teenage rebellion. I like your name, Chantal. It looks and sounds pretty.

I feel weird about my name. I've always thought about it. Wondered if I would like my name if it wasn't mine?

menina · Answer

I like your name but I hate mine. It's very common where I live and it doesn't suit me. I would change it if I could.

Jlegacy · Answer

I didn't at first. I felt like some of them were meaningless but in retrospect I was naive. Knowing their meanings now, I love everyone of them.
