Do you like your name?

[shanna_guarana]

Do you like your name? I do, but it's stupid that you apsolutely have no influence on it's creating...

[Shank]

Once again,

Terri is my name - nope I hate it. It's a unisex name and people ALWAYS spell it wrong. That and my last name too, cause it's french.

[zsk]

i realy realy hate it it!

[Free?]

My name's Andrei [pronounced like AndrEi] and I like it, it can't be changed into some superlame form like most Russian male names. Thank you, mom and dad!

P.S.: shanna, could you please edit the first post and ask people to introduce their name and then say their opinions? It would be just so much better.

[Raptor88]

My name is Dicklike Bratwurst. I absolutely hate it.




No, no, actually i'm Rok, and i'm quite pleased with my name :D

I like my name as well. The one thing I don't appreciate though, is it can't be shortened. It be lengthened, but not shortened.

Zsk, you can always change Simon to Peter if you don't like it; I agree though, Simon is ugly :p

Vanessa what ARE your three names, poulaki mou? Vanessa Thrasivoulas strikes me as unwieldy :p

Andrei is delicious; eminently orgasmic.

peter is more ugly
great german names are:
Marvin,Markus is ok,too, Alex,Marc/ko,

David is also very groovy, like Andrei.

It also happens to be frightfully common :s

And very very international. A world-wide name I'd say.
Das ist fantastich.

[Bipolar Bear]

I'm Jimmy. I voted yes.

[0r4ng3]

There are other names I'd prefer, but I'm getting used to "Jesse". Though I wish people wouldn't misspell it most of the time.

[PilZ-E]

Cody is alright I suppose. I want to marry some girl with a really awesome last name and offer to change mine because Smith isn't that interesting.

[_Lost_]

Jesse and Andrei are very hot names. Not kidding. :)

I like my name. Karin. Its spelled that way so that my nickname could be Kari. I rarely get called Kari though. Mostly my nickname is KD. I like my name because most people don't spell it that way. Of course that means I have to correct everybody on spelling it. I'm tired of hearing "carin' Karin". URGGH!

[Free?]

Aww, du bist sehr nett, Andrei.

Surely we're on first-name acquaintance now? After a thread like this :p

Also it's none of my business, but Jimmy makes one sound fat. And slobbish. Highly personal, of course. :)

As you wish, Maria :).

My name is Thomas, and I like it.

[mrconeman]

I like my name, it's Irish, and nobody on the internet outside of Ireland and maybe Britain ever knows how to pronounce it when they see it spelled.

Ciaran. Unfortunately I'm sick of trying to explain how it's pronounced, all I'll tell you is that it starts in a C, not an S, so stop pronouncing it so.

It's a fairly common name here though, in my street of 15 houses, theres 4 Ciaran's. In my old job there was a whole row of us, that was fun. And I was in a band with two other Ciaran's once.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fayiAfDvzgM at 0:35 you can hear something like "KhEEaran". It's a right way to pronounce it I guess.

Pretty cool unusual name. I wouldn't have guessed that it was Irish though, looks more like Arabic to me.

[mrconeman]

Yup, that's how it's pronounced.

[_Lost_]

What does the "D" mean on "KD"? Or just some expression?
the 'd' is the first letter of my middle name. i don't like my middle name though, so i won't say it here.

Thats pretty cool. haha. Reminds me that there are three van halens in van halen atm.

I like your name. :)

[ilovellamas]

I love my first and middle name (Brianna Joy), but I hate my last name. My last name was Krueger until I was 8... I liked that last name, and wish I had never changed it. But my step dad took legal adoption of me and made me change it. My last name is a shortened version of a Czech last name. My step dad didn't like his last name (Kacerovsky) and thought it was too long, so he got it shortened. I would've preferred Kacerovsky or Krueger over my last name. However, my real dad's last name was Beebe, and I'm really glad that's not my last name.

The only thing I don't like about my first and middle name is the initials...

[PilZ-E]

So wait, what is your last name?

[ilovellamas]

It's Kase, pronounced like it looks "case".

Also, I hate being called Bri (though I'm starting to like it again because not everyone calls me it anymore), but I don't care if people pronounce my name like "Bree-ANN-ah" or like "Bree-AWHN-ah". I think my mom calls me the former, but I almost like the latter more. haha.

[ilovellamas]

Oh, and for anyone who hasn't noticed, when people call me "Bri"... Bri = Brie = cheese. Kase = Käse = cheese (in German). That's another reason I don't like being called Bri.

My sister calls me Bri-Bri, pronounced like in "Brian", because she knows I HAAAATE it.

[randman21]

My name is Randy, and I absolutely love it. I love saying it, I love writing it, and I love hearing other people say it. I don't know why, but maybe partly because it's not short for anything. Just Randy. Barring that short time from 1997-2000, when Austin Powers was at its biggest, I've had no problems. Plus, I've only ever known one other Randy besides my dad (well, and my high school math teacher, who also shared my last name). Now, as common as my last name, Williams, is, I really enjoy that, too.


Ciaran. Unfortunately I'm sick of trying to explain how it's pronounced, all I'll tell you is that it starts in a C, not an S, so stop pronouncing it so.

I really like how that's pronounced. A lot better than I thought.
the 'd' is the first letter of my middle name. i don't like my middle name though, so i won't say it here.

I hate my middle name, too. I thought about going by RC for a while, but then I'd have to tell people what my middle name was. Haha, I often tell people I don't have one.

I would've preferred Kacerovsky or Krueger over my last name.

I like your last name.;)

However, my real dad's last name was Beebe, and I'm really glad that's not my last name.
As in Don Beebe of the Buffalo Bills of the '90s? I think I'd like that a little more.

Cheese Cheese however is absolutely fantastic.

hahaha. As much as I love cheese, I don't like to be called it. I've had plenty of people in my life try to call me "Cheesy McCheese" or just "Cheese Cheese"... and variations thereof.

I'm not sure how Brianna Kase sounds secret agent.

My science name for my teaching job is Bionic Brianna.

[jacknife737]

My first name is Alexander, and i love it.

I hate it when people call me "Al", it makes me feel like a hill billy or something.

I also love it when I hear someone call me "Alexander", instead of Alex. Strictly, because no one ever calls me that, other then my parents.

[Budzy]

No one I know besides my parents call me by my first name, even teachers at school and my friends parents. Everyone calls me by my nickname Budzy.
But I do like my name.

[iGustavo]

My first name, as most of you know, is Gustavo. And I just love it. I love the way it sounds. Even though it has some Swedish or Greek roots. It sounds so Portuguese-ish.
And I just love Portuguese-ish names. Here in Brazil, it's become common to put foreign-ish names on children, and that just sucks, in my opinion. I very much like names written and said in a Portuguese-ish way.
As for my last name, Cruzeiro. As most of you don't know. I love it too, it also sounds very Portuguese-ish, and Cruzeiro is a very rare family. There aren't many Cruzeiros out there. I'd say that there are not more than 60 Cruzeiros in the entire world.

[Conspiracyof1000]

I love my name. Zoe means "life" in Greek, if I remember correctly. I just hate it when people misspell it as Zoey, because of the way it's pronounced. At my elementary school, they used to give you a card on your birthday, and the secretary spelled it Zooey. Her explanation? She wanted to spell it that way.

[_Lost_]

My friend in high school's name was Zoe, but my Zoe is a guy, so people always wanted to pronounce it Zoh.

[Tizzalicious]

My name (Maartje) is such a normal name in Holland, I can't really like or dislike it. It's not one of those standard everyone has them names, but not unusual either, so it's really just one of those names that's a just a name.

[Al Coholic]

Do you like your name? I do, but it's stupid that you apsolutely have no influence on it's creating...

I hate it when people call me Johanne (my grandpa has always called me like that and I always thought it was because he didn't know how to spell my name properly or what my real name was). But I don't mind being called Jo or Jojo. Jojo was better when I was a kid, now I prefer Jo. And then of course there's the way people pronnounce it with or without the h, normally you don't pronnounce the h!
Even if I was named after a Bob Dylan song "Visions of Johanna" in which he pronnounces the h!

People who complain about their names being mispronounced should relax. My own mother and my girlfriend can't pronounce my name and it doesn't bother me.

It's no big deal, certainly nothing to be annoyed about. I grew up in a country where no one could pronounce my name correctly. Wasn't a big deal (and I win).

[findout5]

I like my name Bruno...it has a nice ring to it!

[~|Vredina|~]

My name is Rose, and I voted yes. But I can't say that I like my name that much, because in Russia it's rather rare, and sometimes people don't even believe that it's my real name, and then I have to explain them, that it's not a nickname and so on. It annoys me so much =/

I find it amazing. My name is really common. Not as common as Katie (with variations on the spelling), but because its spelled 'Karin' and not the usual 'Karen', no one who sees it written out wants to pronounce it correctly. They always want to pronounce like you would pronounce Corrinne (said core-in). Thats incredibly annoying!

haha. That's pretty weird. My first name doesn't normally get mispronounced (except a lot of Europeans have a hard time with it and tend to pronounce the "i" like an I instead of like an E.... like in Brian.

The real annoyance is that nobody can pronounce my last name right. Kase. It's pronounced how it looks. If it started with a C, nobody would have a problem... but you put the letter in front that always makes the same sound, and nobody can say it. It's always "Casey", "Cassie" or "Cass". Nobody ever says "Case".

Per it's only annoying for people to mispronounce stuff when it seems like they go out of their way to be wrong... rather than making the most logical choice, like in the situation of my last name and Lost's first name.

My first name is Alison (obv). I like it i guess.

I don't mind my first name. Thibault works for me. I identify with it. What else do I need?

I think my last name is sweet though. When the French assimilated Brittany, some of the more complex Briton last names got shortened or people were forced to pick new ones. My family's got shortened from Ker Varec'h to Kervarech. It could have been worse. My grandfather on my mother's side never had a Briton last name - he was just born Le Sauce, which to anyone in Brittany is a clear indication that your original last name just wasn't process-worthy in French.

[JoY]

a name grows on you. like, you can determine the reputation of a name by your personality that people connect to it. I like my name, independent of any reputation I have. I'm just sorry I gave the name "Isabella" such a blonde chaotic reputation. I'm sorry for all the other Isabellas in this world that are greatly organised & ad rem. I'm just not, but I carry my name with pride, because it's a great name & people know me by that name, which is great & basically everything's great about my name.

then again, I believe that even all my down sides are in the end in my favour, at least add humanity & humour to my character & personality, so my self-confidence & feelings of self-worth are totally okay. I guess that helps in the process of carrying a name & a character/persona/personality, even if it isn't flawless.

Nina is a pretty popular name in the Netherlands too. I can't imagine it's that exotic for German terms. I don't know a lot of girls that go by the name "Nina", but the ones I do know, including the Nina I know on here, are pretty damn cool.

edit; when I was a kid - & this is for you, Nina - I intended to write a book & all my stories had a Nina in it, because I thought it was the name of a dreamer, an idealist & perfectionist. & every story of mine needed one of those. I don't know if you reckon that positive, but to me those are the best compliments there are.

Yeah, I figured it was more of a Western European thing, at least... I was mostly curious about if it's from her Germanness or her Persianness.

[GreenTerror]

I'm Shelby. I was neutral about my name for most of my life until recently, when I realized how much it can be toyed around with to make super neat nicknames (thanks, Mike!). With friends, it's commonly shortened to "Shelbs", or as Mike likes to do, adding fun things on to the end. "Shel" is used with anyone and everyone in my family. But strangely enough, no one at all outside of my family uses it.
My middle name is probably the most common American middle name for girls, Marie. I like it, it goes well with the rest of my name, but then there's hardly a girl's name that doesn't go well with it.
Gonzales is the last name. With an 'S', not a 'Z'. I cannot tell you how irritated I get when it's spelled "Gonzalez". My last name is nothing particularly special, and is pretty common, too. But it could be worse, so I'm happy with it.

Actually, I think Nina originally comes from Katharina, which is a Russian name. I've been told this, I never looked that up myself. But it would explain why the name Nina exists in Iran. There are a lot of people with the name Nina in Iran! I was born in Germany; my parents actually drew my name, another option was Yasmin. I guess they chose common names so I wouldnt have a hard time in Germany. A very wise decision.

But I must admit that I dont know many Ninas. I might just be unlucky though ;P

Nope, Russian version of Katharina is Ekaterina [pronounced with soft E's like [Yekatyerina]] and is commonly shortened into Katya (or Katja in the rest of the world).

Nina is a different name which isn't related with Ekaterina. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Nina .

[wheelchairman]

I just want to go on record as saying my name is cool as shit.

Per = after the Apostle, (and he was the cool apostle).

Ulrich = comes from old German, like the Visigoth (or was it ostrogoth, one of the germanic tribes) chieftains was called Alrich. '.rich' comes from the term 'rich' but also 'reich' which translates to empire or power. It's cool.

The only downside is that in Denmark it's only hicks who use both their names. So I just go by Per.

I hate it when people call me Johanne (my grandpa has always called me like that and I always thought it was because he didn't know how to spell my name properly or what my real name was). But I don't mind being called Jo or Jojo. Jojo was better when I was a kid, now I prefer Jo. And then of course there's the way people pronnounce it with or without the h, normally you don't pronnounce the h!
Even if I was named after a Bob Dylan song "Visions of Johanna" in which he pronnounces the h!
i envy u ur name

[Cock Joke]

I love my name very much, I don't know why I get funny looks when I introduce myself, however.

[Kennytar]

My name is Katrin. Its not pronounced or written incorrectly, its quite common name here and I kinda like it. There are really few ppl who call me by my real name. It has many short versions that everyone use (for english talking ppl Im usually Kat). And my family name is very catchy so most of my friends call me by that instead. :cool:

Btw, Brianna is very pretty name. And Johanna too (we pronounce H in it).

[ilovellamas]

Actually, I think Nina originally comes from Katharina, which is a Russian name. I've been told this, I never looked that up myself. But it would explain why the name Nina exists in Iran. There are a lot of people with the name Nina in Iran! I was born in Germany; my parents actually drew my name, another option was Yasmin. I guess they chose common names so I wouldnt have a hard time in Germany. A very wise decision.

Nope, Russian version of Katharina is Ekaterina [pronounced with soft E's like [Yekatyerina]] and is commonly shortened into Katya (or Katja in the rest of the world).

Nina is a different name which isn't related with Ekaterina. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Nina .

Ooooh namepwn'd! But seriously, that's actually really interesting. Yasmin is also a pretty name.

I just want to go on record as saying my name is cool as shit.

Per = after the Apostle, (and he was the cool apostle).

Ulrich = comes from old German, like the Visigoth (or was it ostrogoth, one of the germanic tribes) chieftains was called Alrich. '.rich' comes from the term 'rich' but also 'reich' which translates to empire or power. It's cool.

The only downside is that in Denmark it's only hicks who use both their names. So I just go by Per.

I know how to pronounce "Ulrich", but I've always pronounced "Per" in my head like we pronounce the preposition "per" in English. Is that how it's pronounced (at least kind of)? Can you give an idea of how to properly say it?

[Jules69]

How could I not love my name!!! My middle name is Michelle, named after a famous Beatles song!!! My first name I also love, even though I did not know how common it was!! Just say JULIE!!!!:D

For some reason, I've always thought of it pronounced like Pierre. I don't know where that came from... but I always think that when I read it...

[randman21]

Forgive me for speaking for you WCM, but I'm nearly certain it's pronounced like "peer," or "pier," if you will.

[Ryder1234]

I love and hate my names. My first name is Kevin, I think its pretty generic but i like it. My middle name is Andrew, I really like it. Im considering going by Drew now,thatd be sweet. I hate my last name, Jewett. its always misspelled as Jewitt, and spawned my nickname, Jewboy. It doesnt help that andrew kinda sounds like it has jew in it. maybe switching to drew wouldnt be so good. Drew Jewett. id be super jew :(

[Tired_Of_You]

Valérie. Meh. I don't really like it, although everyone calls me Val besides a person or two. I prefer the diminutive. Valérie was like the most popular name for baby girls the year I was born, so at least no one ever mispronounces it. My last name is also quite common, although for some obscure reasons people tend to write it incorrectly.

[Paint_It_Black]

I had no idea that is wasn't pronounced like that. My entire world is going topsy-turvy right now...

Aww. Haha. It's so interesting how we connect whole personas to a name. Did you know a Nina as a child who was like that?


nope. I made her up. the name suits her, I think.

You are right. That's how it's pronounced in English though, in Danish it's something super weird. I can't do it :( He should record it some time.

[XYlophonetreeZ]

Jonathan. I don't like it. No one in America says 3-syllable names so it gets shortened to "Jon," which I accept, but it sounds really boring. I'm cool with it because I don't have any better ideas for what to call me. Just don't fucking spell it with an h. "Jonathan" is a totally different name than "John." I could insist on being called Jonathan but that would make people hate me. See, I know that it's not the same name as "John," but an amazing amount of stupid people don't, so in their eyes, it would be the same as someone named Christopher insisting on not being called Chris. If such a Christopher existed, I would judge said Christopher to be an uptight douche. Since I do not wish to be judged as an uptight douche, I let people call me what they want as long as it's not John with an h. I rant about this way too much.

Yeah my name is spelled 'Ulrich' because my Dad's such a germanophile, but actually it's pronounced like the Danish 'Ulrik' (basically the hard 'k' instead of the 'ch'.

Heh if my name was as simple as 'peer' don't you think my mother could pronounce it? :p Anglicized I accept 'Peer', but generally I just accept whatever the local vernacular would be, Peter, Pierre, Pedro, Pyotr, and for people who knew me in the states 'Peer'.

The thing is the Danes swallow the 'r' sound, it's still there but buried in your throat, and it sort of effects the other letters. It's very hard to describe.

The r sounds quite a bit like the Germanic r with the pseudo diphthong going on. I hope this will make me able to hear your name the right way when I see it, rather than hearing/pronouncing it like the American "per". :P

[JoY]

you swallow the 'r' in Per's name & after the P, there's some sort of 'i'-sound. so last tuesday we came to the conclusion basically Per's name is pronounced as pie.;):p

Brianna; the two times I met Per, I didn't go through the trouble of trying to pronounce it correctly. I just say "Per" the way you guys would probably say it too. (hah, like the first part of "Paris", which got very confusing every time someone at the meet-up was talking about Per & said "Per is..") I probably can't entirely pull it off anyway (though Per said the way I pronounced it the time I actually tried was close) & I guess I always think of him as "Per", you know, the way I read it. I can't help it. that just happens when you learn to know each other through written messages.

[Tizzalicious]

The meetup seemed very Paris orientated now I think of it. Did you know Paris is a city too?

[wheelchairman]

That's the Danish word for tit.

Also the Danish word for mammal is 'pattedyr', meaning 'titted animal'.

If you took everyone' criticism though you'd end up listening to the wrong people sometimes.

"LOL you're a chicken! Not even willing to steal from that store with us LOL"

Personal values must override criticism, but not accepting criticism for the pure sake of not appearing wrong is fucking idiotic and it's something people do way too much in modern society. Nobody can admit their faults, really.

Look at me, I'm a good person, I can admit my faults. I admit it was wrong when I killed my mother.

No, you can't admit your faults. That's a continuing theme with you.

Taking criticism is one thing, reforming yourself to it, is another thing and not always the same. It's like when someone gives you advice, you don't always have to take it, they're not always going to be right.

There is a huge difference.

Stop judging me you fucking creep. We're not talking about me but about the issue in general in this thread. Quit trying to turn every thread into a "let's talk about bipolar" one. If you're so interested in me and my personality, I can sell you my autographed picture. Have a fucking blast with it, till it's white with cum.

I have no problem accepting criticism, but when I disagree I stay strong with my opinion. If there are people unable to accept criticism here it's the 1337s and mods, so shut the fuck up.

[wheelchairman]

Oh quit whining. That is all you do. Like I told you, it's tiresome to deal with someone as ridiculously whiney and sensitive as you are. I make two posts directed towards you and now I'm stalking you. Grow a pair. You go around spamming and whining, and acting like a victim all the time. It's pathetic, really.

This is really amusing to me considering the source.

[Bipolar Bear]

This is really amusing to me considering the source.

I have admitted my wrongs MANY TIMES, I have accepted to CHANGE, etc. I don't see how refusing to agree with someone's opinion on fucking cellphones means that I don't accept other people's opinions. I'm entitled to disagree with something once in a while, no I WON'T AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S SAID TO ME but I will USE REASON TO EVALUATE WHETHER OR NOT I AGREE WITH THE POINTS BEING MADE. Sometimes I may disagree and it's my right, it's not because I don't care. I have listened to what you had to say and made that decision. Similarly, I can agree. After argumentation with wheelchairman about needs/wants, he apparently decided to classify me as someone who never agrees with others and only sticks up to his own opinion, because in that particular instance I didn't agree with him. He's being ridiculous and way too judgemental. If you're going to follow his opinion of me, you're being ridiculous.

This is a constant problem around here where people are too retarded to establish fair opinions about people and always judge them. This will probably only lead to these people, including myself, to quit trying to be reasonable with you.

Bipolar Bear, yes you have taken some things you have been told into account and when you're not throwing a fit you're not a bad guy to read, but trying to debate with you on any sort of a normal plane gives me the sense of trying to talk to someone covering their ears going "LA LA LA LA I CANT HEAR YOU!". Your version of discussion (you are not the only one) is "Here's my opinion. What you don't agree?!? 1337s are out to get me! AGH! *throw a tantrum*"
