    The name Marisa...eh..I don't like it. :( I Wish I had a cool name, like Chriseis (from the Iliad). My last name is ok (it means 'corner' in Spanish).

    My name is better than all the other options that were a choice :D
    I could have been either, Kiffin, Trixie, Annie Rose, Joslin, Georgia...So, I think Kayla is better :D although, Trixie, I could of been a street whore with that one :D

    I like my name alright... Patrick... I was supposedly named after someone, but it's also what my parents went by kind of jammed together. I think they were just lazy. :rolleyes:

    if by real you mean the name the parents of the body i live in gave it sometime arround the time i took possession of it, no, i am not pleased by either its commonness nor by why it was given to me. in and of itself, a name is just a sortkey, and one lacking in sufficient uniqueness isn't very useful as one.

    all things are unique, and sentient things such as ourselves even more so. that any person, place or thing should be named after any other person, place or thing is an absurdity to begin with, and for sentient beings an unearned burden besides.

    conventionality is denyal of the diversity of reality

    I never liked my name (Ian) because no one could pronounce it.

    How hard could it be??

    Most people would say "eye-an" or "ee-on", when in actuality, it is "ee-an"
    whatever...

    My parents told me that they named me after the actor who played Judas in Jesus of Nazareth. His name was Ian McShane. yay :D

    But yeah, I suppose it fits me. The name is Scottish, and I am a mix of Irish and other Celtic and northern European stock. Too bad I live in the bassackwards American South :p

    yes and no. i was named after the chippette brittany from the show "the chipmunks" and brittany is a popular name. but i do like the name because of all the nicknames my friends and younger sister gave me. Brita, bri, brit, so on and so forth.

    I like my first name. People just use my middle name, Angela. I tried getting people to use my first name for about a year, but it never worked. I guess I look more like an Angela, than a Katherine.

    My first name is Christine and I have never liked it. I was going to be named Penelope and I really wish that my parents had gone with that instead.

    I really like my name. I was named after my mom's friend who had cancer and still helped my mom out while she was pregnant with me. I was going to be "Stephanie" but that is my sister's name instead.

    That's a cool name.

    I like mine. William. Though, I go by Will. It's nice, but I had to go through that "Iron Will" and "Free Willy" bullshit in elementary.
