Do you like your first name?

Is it common or more unusual

It's taken me 55 years to finally like my name

I've never minded my first name tbh, its not as common as it was when I was a kid, think it has fallen out of favour now.

It's ok. It's easy to shorten. I don't use my full name except for official forms. I don't even use it at work.

It was very popular about 20 years before I was born, so most people with my name are now around 60. You do hear it fairly often. There's even a girl at my children's school with my name, which is a little odd.

I can't imagine being called anything else, so I guess it suits me
