Do you like your name?

Question

My name is whatever lol.
I don’t hate it but it’s not the name I would have chosen for myself.
Justin is just such a douchey white fuck boy ass name. Yanno?

also I feel like it’s a teenagers name.

A teenage boy named Justin? Fitting. Perfect.
a grown man named Justin? 🤨 no lmao. I’m walking around with this little boy ass name.

Well you sure as fuck aren't a Julius.

If you where names James thats not much better.

Wheres James, his sweeping up in the warehouse.

Hey this is James.

Boy when are you going to get that tool box ready.

What you need to do, is walk into a new work place and say your names Ryan. That guy always into trouble, thats why they went looking for him in saving private Ryan. Funny thing is his names James and thats his last name.

But yeah I can understand why youd feel like a bitch by a bitch saying Just in. Or Justien is even worse.

But if you're just en. Welk fuck you're a no body thats going no where and will be a junky. Probably already a bong head bitchen about still being a boy as a grown adult. Go and get started on the hard job that you think paying someone to do, will be done relatively easy. Then come up with a solid name. Once youve tried the new name in clubs and work places, stick with it.

Change it, change your bank details and your accounts but you can still get all your mail for orders with what ever name you like. It doesn't matter. As long as people have your address but anything can be lost in the mail. Speaking of which, I returned something to sender after what amazon explained is was delivered to the wrong person, which could have been delivered anywhere in my country. Go figure but it seems like im at least popular with Amazons computer system.

Im also pretty popular here with the AI bot 😅

I usually go by my "stage name." I'm a performer. For one, my name, while slightly "ethnic," wasn't that hard to spell or pronounce, though it seems like everyone seemed to have trouble with it. Then they couldn't remember it, so I'd be dependent on some shtick, which might be temporary.

I also had some family that I didn't want people knowing I was related to them. I lived in a small town, with some family doing some weird creepy, dumb crap that made me associated with them more than I wished to be. Several were abusive and toxic. It made several of them VERY angry that I chose a professional name that wasn't my real name, which was an added bonus.

I don't REALLY care that much about bringing a "legacy" to the name; a part of me would like to carry on the name, but I'm not obsessed with it.

But, it's a hassle trying to change it legally. Right now, I use the stage name unless it's a legal thing. Then I use my birth name. Sometimes I use both. Mail and post office, which gets confused about my name, I use my real name. Checks, legal name. Contracts - Legal name once or twice for clarification, then stage name throughout.

I rarely even think about it any more, unless someone knows me since before the name change.

I don't hate nor love my name. I am wanting to change my first name because I want to live in a new city with a fresh start. If I do change my first and last name, it'd be like I'm growing up and leaving my past behind. Hearing people calling my name (family, friends and peers) kind of makes annoyed a little bit. My name reminds me of this broken child who had the shittiest childhood.
As for my last name, I was thinking of just changing it to my dad's surname or use both of my mom's and dad's surnames (Ex: If my last name was Roberts and I got my mom's last name, and my dad's last name is Cameron, it'd be Roberts-Cameron).

I'm neutral. I didn't like my name most of my life as most people couldn't spell my name right and couldn't even pronounces my name correctly. Teachers killed my name every time they would pronounce it, it almost hurt me physically, lol. So did my classmates. Not to mention my brothers tease me for having that name and one weird guy at college making my name sound naughty to get my attention which only resulted in me getting mad at him and later I realised he liked me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Since my mid 20s , I stopped caring. I don't hate it or like it. It's just there, lol

Apple1996 · Answer

Eh it's good enough. I'm just glad that my name isn't super common like I've never experienced getting mixed up with someone in school or anywhere else

KoolKita · Answer

I do like my name, but it's tricky sometimes. There were three other Kieras at my church, all in the span of 4 years of age difference. So there were three Kieras in the same High School class, but they were spelled and pronounced differently (Kiera, Keirah, Kiara). It caused everyone to constantly pause before saying my name and ask, "Wait, do you pronounce it ______?" I really didn't care how they pronounce it, I would tell them that if they pronounced it wrong I wouldn't react like "You were talking to me? Oh, I'm sorry, it's pronounced Key-ERA." So people just wouldn't say my name that often because they'd get confused by one of the other versions.

The other tricky thing is people constantly spelling it wrong. I don't really care about the pronunciation, but I guess I feel different about people spelling it wrong (I mean, the name is literally already there and you misspelled it!)

I do like my name because I think that it's unique and pretty, but the problem is that it's unique enough to make things tricky and people rarely get it completely right, haha!

Lliam · Answer

I like my name. Even though I was named in 1954, it is not dated and "For 400 years, it has been second only to John as the most popular name in the English-speaking world."
Even though I am a 4th generation American citizen of Irish Catholic descent, my first name is Anglo-Saxon. It is masculine and fits well with my last name, which is very Irish (doesn't begin with Mc or O'). They are five syllables combined and easy to pronounce.

I was always called by my nickname, which is one of the common nicknames for my full name. I like my nickname, too. It is very common and will never be confused with female.

PinkMichae · Answer

Hey, my sons name is Justen. I know it's spelled different but you shouldn't be such a hater about the name Justin. I have a friend named Justen too and it's fine. Personally I wanted to give my son a more unique name but unfortunately his dad won guessing his gender so he got to pick the name.

But I love my name. Because it's unique and pretty. Michaela is my name. Not pronounced ma-kay-la.
It's pronounced Mi-shay-la. All of a sudden people started naming their daughters ma-kay-la but spelt Michaela like my name.

Anonymous · Answer

I'm very amblivent about my name.

I'm named after 2 amazing kind hearted women, my name is rare, about 500ish people who have it and I like the meaning of it - to grow.

However as an immigrant - it is very frustrating since very few can pronounce it correctly or even willing to put in the effort to do so. I realized not long ago, that I barely respond to my name when said correctly anymore and that I had stopped pronouncing it correctly, which has made me more keen to "force" people to at least make the effort.

RobT312 · Answer

I am 100% indifferent. Don’t love it, don’t hate it. But dude, yours is awesome, I really dig it

iiinsOMNIA · Answer

I love my name! I think it's super pretty. "Naomi" means pleasant in Hebrew, and in Japanese it means straight and beautiful lol. Hopefully I live out to fulfill my name's meanings.

I don't think Justin is a bad name for a grown man. I think it may be a little funny once you get past the age of like 45 or something though, lmao. What would you change your name to if you could?

menina · Answer

I ABSOLUTELY HATE my name! It's too plain, too common and it doesn't match me. Besides, I was named after a family member that I barely know. What sense does that make? None.

My full name is horrible, I would change it if it wasn't so expensive and complicated.

Apulu_Imback · Answer

I'm good with my name, I won't change it. I like it. My name was going to be 'Angel' by my grandfather but my mom didn't agree as it was really common. I would have appreciated that name more personally but I'm satisfied with the current one as well.

sage2021 · Answer

No, I have never liked my name. They were going to name me Barbara Louise. Glad my Dad said no to that name.
Even with the first name I have, my family never called me that. I asked my mom why didn't she just name me that name instead? Never got an answer.
But she used to call me sweet cheeks a lot (sweet face cheeks).

petitedollbabee · Answer

I hated it for most of my life, since no one has the same name as me and I’m very easy to find on social media and if anyone mentions my name, people know exactly who that person is talking about (since I live in a small town), but over the last few years I’ve grown to like it.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I like my name cause it’s mysterious and gender neutral and associated with my cultural background so I feel like it’s highly personalized to my individual identity. It also sounds formal which I think gives me a professional advantage when I apply for jobs. My real name begins with Xi.

Fabiloso · Answer

I don't actually. Realized that recently. It can easily be played with and joked with and I'd just rather had something way more masculine. It even holds me back at times like in my head I think huh that's just not really a "insert name here" thing to do so I hesitate with it. I've tried to own it but just recently realized it ain't great and I'll admit that.

Anonymous · Answer

I like my name on my mom, we have the same name. I dislike that they named me that but I see it nice and fitting for her, I just dislike it on me. I don't know how to express that to her, it's not that I dislike the name I think it's nice but just not on me.

Just_call_me_Levi · Answer

I have a pseudonym which I use online and occasionally go by, but not because I don't like my actual name, just because I value my privacy and don't like leaving too big a trace.

There was a time I hated by name though, this because it ties me to my family, but I have since come to terms with that.

MichaelEspinoza · Answer

Well here's my opinion on this , no I wouldn't change my name - because i really like my name . My mom chose to name me - Michael ♂️ because it was a special name like the Arch Angel Michael so that's how this happened

ChillaxingLove · Answer

I Like my name. You should try looking up the meaning and history of your name. Usually people unexpectedly take on the value of the meaning of their name. Justin means upright, just, righteous.

Anonymous · Answer

I was named after my grandma, a very old, long and complicated name. When we moved to the US when I was a kid, no one could pronounce my name. I felt so isolated. When I got my US citizenship, I changed my name, but used my grandma's name as my middle name. I chose a more common and easier to pronounce name. Since I changed it, I can feel that my social interactions have drastically improved.
