lol I've got a mate named Simon who's lived in the US :) |

What about Bo Bice from American Idol, his real name is Harold. I think if I was a boy called Harold I'd change my name too.

Re: do you like your name?
I actually dont mind Lisa as it happens I would much rather have that than both the names my parents were arguing over when I was first born. They settled on Lisa. See what you think:
Mum wanted...Dennet :scared: Dad wanted Meredith :eek: |

Re: do you like your name?
Yes I do, even as a child I used to say "it's Victoria not Vicky".

Re: do you like your name?
I like my name even though it runs in the family. My grandad, uncle, cousin and step-cousin have the same name as me.
David beats Siobhan anyway - which is what I'd be called if I'd been born a girl. |

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 Better than being called Ford Escort or Skoda. |

My mathematician father wanted to call me Pythagoras... but thankfully my mother refused. |
