Re: Do you like your name?

Hey I'm the same way! (The liking first name but not second name part) People always make Tom Cruise jokes. Yeah, I get it, I've got the same name as a famous person, get over it! Not like either Kate or Holmes are particularly uncommon! I mean, being asked how Tom Cruise is is funny the first time, but not the millionth.

Re: Do you like your name?

Ha...having the same name as someone else can suck. I was flipping channels the other day and there was this special on a serial killer with the exact same name as me. *gasp* Hopefully no one watches that channel...lol. I might have to start using my middle name!

Re: Do you like your name?

I like my name . It's kind of common, but there are multiple spellings for it, and I haven't met many people who spell it the same way I do.

Re: Do you like your name?

I used to absolutely hate my name, but it sunk in once I started saying my first and middle name together.
Kathryn Clare. I usually go by Katie, but I love my full name because it's very formal.

Re: Do you like your name?

I like my name, actually. There's something about 'Christina' that sounds kind of..royal? Like a queen or a princess? I don't know. I think it sounds mature but fun at the same time.

Re: Do you like your name?

I don't like mine at all. Way to short and childish, doesn't have style. I'd rather have it longer and a bit more special. My name is Tom.

Re: Do you like your name?

My first name is the best. Ryan, people can pronounce in right, and it just sounds cool. My middle name is Joseph, which is okay, I guess. Many people have that as their middle name.

I despise my last name, so I usually go by the pseudonym "Venault" online and such because it is very far from my regular last name and I like the letter "v" (Vonnegut is great). Also, my original last name is from my Grandpa, who was adopted, so it's not some family name for generations.

I have the same middle name. Welcome to the Josephclub!

However mine's spelled Dutch, which is Jozef.

Re: Do you like your name?

I love my name. Samantha, but I just go by Sam, it's very me. Though there are a few people who call me Samantha, and one that calls me Cham.

I always pick on my mom though because I am the oldest of my sibling, and yet the only kid without a family name.....

Re: Do you like your name?

I like my name, but mostly because of the meaning. Together my first and middle names mean "Heavenly Angel". My name is Nicole Celeste. (First and middle)

Re: Do you like your name?

I hate my first name, so I use my middle name. My mother named me after the first person who walked in the room after I was born. She was a nurse named "Verna" Guess it could have been worse, though. I don't know where she got my middle name, Marie, from. Guess she just picked it out of the air. I named my daughters sensible names: Leslie Marie and Michelle Ann.

Re: Do you like your name?

Agreed with some of the above posts. I love my first name (Kathleen) but I hate my second name (Amanda). No offense to all the Amanda's out there, but I despise it. >.< I love my last name too, aha, but I'd prefer to have my mum's, not my dad's. It's more British and pretty.

But does it sound good coming after Kathleen Amanda?
I like my mom's surname much better than my dad's, mainly because my dad's is kind of boring, but also because I hate having the same name as a celebrity [>.<], but my surname sounds good coming after Kate and after Kate Brenna, which cannot be said for my mom's surname.

Re: Do you like your name?

I only like my first name if someone pairs it with my middle name. My first name is Sarah, and I hate it, but when someone calls me Sarah Marie I think it's much prettier. My last name is just the epitome of Italian, but I don't mind it or anything.. when I was in school, my teachers would always call me by my last name (Tomasino), and I liked that.
