I like Patrick. In fact, I like it more than using an internet alias, and almost never use an alias anymore. And I would've, too, if I didn't feel apprehensive and lazy simutaneously when signing up.

In fact, I'd prefer to be addressed as Patrick as long as you know that's what my name is. dbp is so lazy and weird. As far as iRL goes, I can't say I'd ever want a different name. It's not too unique, not too overused.

Hmm, I'm okay with Fritz :3 That's not a very common name in my place. Even though sometimes people compare it to Ritz the crackers and drinks, Im still fine with my name xD

No, I don't think I would. It's only a name, it's not that important, and I like mine anyway. I'd keep my first name definitely, but gun to my head I might change my last name to something that goes with more stuff. Last names that begin with R tend not to go with a lot of first names and flow smoothly, so I'd change it to something with a hard-sounding first letter.

I really don't like my name, but honestly, any name I would want to switch to would also require a gender change, so all in all, I'll stick with the name I have. At least it's not something weird lol

I've been Brendan my entire life, so I've got no real reason to change that now. It's a unique enough name that I've only known a small number of people with it, but common enough that everyone knows how to say it.

Maybe if I grew up with a fairly common name like Joe, Matt or Steve I might have felt differently about my name, but I'm happy with it the way it is.

I can't think of anything in particular I would want to rename myself. Erin, though it is a boring name, suits me okay. Even if I could change it, it would be like an endless cycle. I'd get bored of one name and move on to the next one. I could be like...the world record holder for the most amount of legal name changes.

Nobody would know what to call me. c:

Ugh naming is tough... to think of new name for myself is probably even harder. I'm used to being Eddie (my RL name) and I can't really imagine what's a "more suitable" name for myself haha

I used to dislike my name but now I'm used to it. I'd definitely change my middle name (just get rid of it.) I'm named after an uncle who has now turned out to be a jerk. Plus the name is pretty horrid.

My name is so so so so so so common, so yes, I would love to change it. I wish Megan was my actual real name though, so I can finally get used to it and drop my "soap opera-ish" name xD

As much as I dislike my full first name, I don't think I could ever change it. It's a boy name and I was named after my grandfather and dad (it's their middle name), but now that my grandfather is gone, I don't think I could ever change it. The name I go by which is short for the full first name is very unique. It was a common name in the 70's I believe, but spelled different. It's annoying that no one ever spells my name right, though. But eh...it's different and it's cute and I like it enough to keep it.

If I had to choose another name, I would change it to Allison and go by Alli. Though if you called me that now I would probably respond anyway. :P It's kind of close to my real name anyway, so yeah.

I would change my first name for the sake of having it shorter, like Sky. I use a nickname over my formal name IRL, which is only one letter difference, so eh.

I like my name well enough, but if I were going to change it, I might go with something like Roy... although it doesn't really flow with my last name.

I'd completely remove my name, that way people would have to refer to me with only pronouns. Though that is probably not legal in most countries so I would go with the name Thirteen (the value of my name in scrabble)

I personally like my name, Lydia Ryan, but my bf found out about 2 days ago that his birth name isn't Brandon, but it's Tybor(tie-burr, for those who don't know how to pronounce it). I know it's weird, but I like it. He's going to find out tomorrow why his parents called him Brandon instead of Tybor.

I have no real issues with my name. It's not an amazing name or anything, but there's also nothing really wrong with it. By changing it, I'd need to inform everyone who knew me by my previous name and tell them why I'm changing it and answer loads of different questions and then I'd need to get my passport and other official documents changed and oh my god so much effort. So no. I'm not going to get my name changed any time soon.

No. I may not like my name as much as I like others, but it is my name and I will forever have it.

There are plenty of names I like more than mine, though. Charlotte is my favorite name right now.

I never think about changing my name, I think my name's very good.
I'm okay with George. =)
