couple, us we him her.

We don't use real name on here and don't expect anyone to say theirs.

But do you wish your first name was different or would you like to change it.

I like my name but quite like the idea of being called Sebastian.

I've always hated my name.

I'm not going to say what I'd change it to, because I'm strongly considering it. Character from my favourite book.

I simultaneously like and hate my first name. I like being unique (most of the time) but absolutely hate having to spell my name with the phonetic alphabet every time I make a phone call. And still people write down the wrong name

I'll stick with it though.......

I hated my name growing up but as an adult I had a chat with my mum about how I got my first and middle name. There's meaning behind them which makes them special so I will never change either.

I love my name as during a drug-induced labour my mam started thinking about the local three legged dog and when the vicar that was in attendance (extremely premature) asked what she would like to call me she blurted out the dogs name.

I’m lucky it wasn’t Rover or Shep really aren’t I lol

Growing up my Name was unique, didnt quite fit in and wanted a name change.

But now it’s a very popular name and TV presenters and famous rugby players names the same. Now i couldnt be more proud. Meaningfull name and Meaning behind it couldnt be more bang on.

Dark swarthy Celtic Welsh history to the very early days.

I'd never change mine. I used to loathe it as I would always get singled out growing up. But it's unusual and quirky and always gets people talking. My dad was the one who chose my name and it had a special meaning to him so that makes me love it even more.

When the kids nag "mum, mum, mum" all day I say I'm not mum anymore I'm Lady Penelope Theodore Taptiklis, that is the only name I respond to, stopped the repeated calling of my name during lockdown.

It's kinda stuck, so I'd like to change my name to this.
