<p>i love my name.</p>
<p>My name is Gavin. Is that a common name?</p>
<p>Carly Isabel D------. I like it, most people just call me Carly but some like to put my first and middle names together. Others call me "Carly Izzy" after an old email address =]</p>
<p>No. I prefer my name being one syllable instead of three.</p>
<p>I like my full name for the most part. My first name is a fairly common name for girls, but spelled differently than most people spell it. My last name is actually a somewhat common (eh…) first name. My middle name is kind of blah. I actually share it with my sister. Lol.</p>
<p>I don’t know why, but every single one of my friends calls me by my full name. I like my full name though.</p>
<p>My name is a little “snobbish” sounding, and kinda country too, but I like it.</p>
<p>I like the name Gavin to whoever I skimmed and said that was his name.</p>
<p>Really, the main annoying thing is that my initials are VAG which has made many jokes for my friends. Otherwise I’d like my sisters name Veronica since I think I look more like that, also get rid of my middle name in general. All in all Valerie is okay and far better than the Evon my mom was considering.</p>
<p>lol!!! i actually kind of like my name since it’s unique in a way.</p>
<p>uhh i’m not really sure about you guys but technically i can have a really long name if you count all the ones in between, haha :P</p>
<p>once this guy joked with me and said, “…and you got into the country with that name?” LOL.</p>
<p>my last name is actually El-Hadarami (im part yemeni (arab) but instead legally my last is exactly the same as a former disgraced Iraqi dictator :/</p>
<p>so it’s like [my first name] Abdullahi Adburahman hajji Hussein El Hadarami</p>
<p>random fact: the fmr pm of somalia during the 60s was my grandpa’s brother

<p>^wow, I actually thought I had an unique name… until I saw yours.</p>
<p>I’ve got a decent name. I’ve grown into it (or maybe I’m so vain that I just like hearing other people say it, because I don’t really like to say it myself).</p>
<p>I really think English last names sound the best, but even as far as Chinese last names go, I’m not particularly fond of mine.</p>
<p>In Splice, the brother’s name is either Gavin or Kevin. It was the first time I realized that G’s and K’s sounded so similar.</p>
<p>Anyway, I like my name, though it leads this certain group to tease me about being French. “I’m not French!” “Exactly what a French person would say.”
A guy who buzzed me in for interview once thought I was Creole. My French teacher wondered what was my country of origin. My sister’s French prof, along with a couple of customers at her jobs, thought she was from some French Caribbean island.</p>
<p>My middle name isn’t French, but people ignore this.</p>
<p>@eastafrobeauty:my god the only kind of names I can’t deal with are Indian and Arabic names. They are simply unpronounceable! ehh, and Russian names too! (“Aleksandr Nikolayevich Ostrovsky”!!! #$<em>^</em>#@!!!) Even Japanese names can be ‘deciphered’, if they are not unusually weird. :p</p>
<p>
…I don’t see it. Most Chinese names are easy to pronounce&remember, like Young, Lee, Tong, etc. And some sounds pretty English: Young&Lee, for example.</p>
<p>My surname is ‘Gin’. I don’t like it though. I have never tasted Gin ; and never will.</p>
<p>I find most English names incredibly plain. My mother’s maiden name is Irish, but still really, really boring.</p>
<p>Polish names are insane. One of my friends has a Polish last name, but it’s easy. All the other ones I know come with a pronunciation guide.</p>
<p>Polish names are very cool-sounding (and fun to say once you figure out how to say it).</p>
<p>I have a Chinese name that looks different than how it’s pronounced, but it’s fairly easy to say and remember. It’s kind of hard for people to remember how to spell it though: after knowing me for three years my French teacher still spells wrong all the time.</p>
<p>I like my name, I’m named after my late uncle who passed years before I was born. Though my name is Robert, I go by Rob.</p>
<p>I like my last name (Wieder) too, it’s different and has gotten me a nickname in the process (see my username).</p>
<p>My last name is my grandfather’s first name. The person responsible for writing the birth certificates of his first 12 children failed to explain to him that he was supposed to give his last name to his children. As a result, 12 of my aunts/uncles have his first name as their last, while 12 others have his legitimate last name (the result of a correction after he had peaked in fecundity). </p>
<p>My first name means water jug. My middle name is a composite of my grandmother’s name with something else (I’m not sure what it is). </p>
<p>I like my first name; it lends itself easily to nicknames. In fact, the latest one I’ve acquired is particularly interesting: K-nasty. I’m not too sure what I did to deserve it, though.</p>
<p>I’m neutral about my name. My first name is one of the most common girls’ names (though it wasn’t AT ALL popular when I was born). My middle name is my grandma’s first name - not at all exotic, just not commonly heard. My last name is a 10 letter Polish name…I seriously think that only people who are related to me have that name. I have NEVER heard it before (besides family). Seriously only like 3 people have ever pronounced it correctly first try.</p>
<p>^Is it one of those last names with 8 consonants in a row? Those are always confusing.</p>
