Do you like your real name?

[Chuckus]

G. Gordon Liddy?

Nope try again..........my middle name is the proper for the slang of my nickname hint hint hint

 

[Renegade]

Yep, I like my real name. Although, there are times that I wish I had a less simple first name.

 

[willywanker]

Like several others, I'm cool with my first name, but not so great with my middle name.

You can guess the first name, it the first part of my user name, in one of its many forms and I answer to most all of them, William, Willy, Bill, Billy.

But my middle name came from the man who introduced my parents to each other. Its also the name of a chubby cartoon charachter in an early Bill Cosby cartoon.

"Hey, hey, hey, it Fat ______ "

I was named for my mother to settle a feud; both grandmothers wanted me to be named for them. Since neither Cecelia nor Helen suited me, I got saddled with Patricia.

It has its uses. It means "noblewoman," and there's nothing like using my full name -- in my snottiest tone -- to get instant cooperation from the peasants. However, it is a snotty name, and not very warm, and I don't think it suits me at all.

I'd rather have been Rosie, like my aunt.

My first name has served to limit my choices in the men with whom i could partner. Any man (and it was "any boy" originally, of course) with the one name which dovetailed in an icky way into mine was immediately excluded from my wanting to get to know anything at all more about him. That male name? Ken.

From a matrilineal perspective, middle names for first-born girls in my family are not open for discussion. Therefore, i have the same middle name as my grandmother and my daughter has the same middle name as her grandmother (my mother). These two middle names flip-flop generations and have done so since my grandmother's grandmother named her first-born daughter. The names are month names (thank all the gods-the alternatives from way back then are truly frightening) so not too terribly offensive. My daughter has already said she'll continue the tradition with her first daughter, who will get my middle name.

I pretty much like my names, both of them, if we can keep away from the taunting that sometimes goes with my first name. There was a time i'd (try to) kill anyone who called me by that name. And i've already seen the website for Bondage Barbie, but thanks anyway. http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/otn/happy/11zwinky.gif

I love it, actually My dad won that argument, and considering the alternatives they had lined up, I'm very pleased he did.

 

[willfulbrat]

Yea, actually I've always liked it, but I answer to almost anything these days...
although for a while I thought about telling people my name that I liked to be called was my middle name, right when I went to college and made new friends. Strangely enough, that's the name Willful and I did give our son.
Sir G

"Willful and I"? Noooo, Sir G. If memory serves me well, that's the name you gave him while I was on heavy pain meds after he was born! LOL! I like it though, so all is forgiven.

What's in a name?

I've often thought how strange it is that I'm actually attracted to a name.

I first met my partner in a chat room five years ago and the primary thing that attracted me to her was her name. Of course, at that point there wasn't much else to go on and I'm normally attracted to anything vaguely female. Fortunately, on this occasion I struck lucky, she just happened to be fantastic )

Ahem, back to my point. Recently, while with my partner, we met a young lady with the same name. Unfortunately the lady in question was visually challenged and worse, rude as hell. I commented at the time that if I'd met her first the chat room appeal would not have been the same.

Does anyone else in effect pre-judge a new acquaintance just because of their name? Or, do you find yourself attracted to someone new with the same name as a previous partner or a favourite celebrity?

Right......... I'm off to cuddle Britney <g>

I like my name. I usually go by my middle name, but when I want to sound "official" and use my first name, middle initial, it sounds pretty cool.

My brother's name is Roger, probably after Roger Staubach. Considering my mom jokingly considered naming him "Jethro" (at least I think it was a joke!), I think he got off lucky. My god. Jethro?

Re: What's in a name?

Does anyone else in effect pre-judge a new acquaintance just because of their name? <g>

I try not to judge "acquaintances" but I certainly do judge a potential lover.
"Walt" would be hard for me to scream out during orgasm.
"Jethro" would be too.
"Jesus" (pronounced-"Hay-suse")
"Jaime" ( sounds like "Hy-mie"--too much like hymen)

My birthdaughter's adoptive mother wanted to name her "Phealan" (pronounced like fay-lan). I did my best not to gag and prayed that no child of mine would be scarred in that way.
I suggested to her that she go scream the name out loud from the porch about 10 times and see if it still sounded good (since that was what would eventually occur). She picked a better name!

I love my real name. I'm the fourth actually, so I got one of those cool IV's on the back of it.
