do you like your name?
I was inspired by the US names post...... Definately some strange ones there! :scared:
I was thinking if any of you like your name and why? I really like mine it's Portia/Porsha (I use both spellings of the name, ones on birth certificate, other is on passport)! :p I used to think that it was quite unique, until names like Mercedes started poping up, now I am always associated with the car! Still love it though. :D |

Nought wrong with my name, but it's as common as muck which is why I go by Bob :D

I would have prefered Engelbert Humperdinck, but my parents had other ideas.

Nah, I didn't like being called David so I changed my name to Dave :p

Re: do you like your name?
Nope - never liked my first name as no-one could ever pronounce it correctly first time.
The only good thing about it and it's uniqueness was that the FBI check was rather speedy... :D |

Re: do you like your name?
Well....clothes designer Ralph Lipshitz obviously thought that his name was a detriment to his brand (it's a Jewish surname - don't know if it was German but sounds sort of eastern European/Russian).
He is now called Ralph Lauren. :D |
Re: do you like your name?
The only person that calls me by my proper name is my mother and then usually when I've done something wrong (happens alot). Then I moved to Michigan where for some reason my name sounds like 'jon' when I speak on the phone so reluctantly I've had to start using Janine instead of Jan

Re: do you like your name?
Yes. Thanks for asking. :D

For some reason, the name Simon is not very common in America. People find it really funny some times. Aparently there was a sketch on Saturday Night Live back in the 80's, the game "Simon Says" and also the game "Simon" which really screwed this name up for me.
Throw in Simon Cowell and I really feel like changing my name some times! I used to work for a payroll company setting up appointments for our employee benefits guys to come round... I actually had people say, "I'll book an appointment if you say... I'M SIMON COWELL AND THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL!!"... I laffed so hard I almost shat meself! :mad: |
Re: do you like your name?
I legally changed my name when I was 16. So yes. I like my name as it is now.
