Angela. I hate it. I mean it is a pretty name but what I hate is that it is really super common! In the 70s it was the #6 most popular name for a girl for the entire decade!! I was once in a science class in high school with 6 Angelas in my class! ;_;

Nathaniel

Eh, It's alright. Although it's sometimes hard to say it clearly enough to avoid other people from pronouncing it incorrectly. I also don't go by nicknames like Nate, Nathan, etc., because I'm cool like that. ;)

This. I don't know any other Angelas, though, and where I've been it's not common at all as far as I know. But I was born in the late 80s. :/

I don't like my name because it doesn't roll off the tongue well in my opinion, especially with my last name, and there are no nicknames associated with it that I actually like. I also don't really like that it makes being called an angel (as a pet name or love name) sound so obvious or uninspired, and then no others are really used. Not that I have anyone that would call me by a pet name at the moment, but in the past, it was the one that was used.

I don't think there's anything actually wrong with being called an angel, by the way, it's just that by having Angela for a name, it doesn't sound as special to be called one.

Jordan is the sexiest name out there.

I love my name.

Wulf May 31st, 2009 7:07 PM

Name's Kyle. I get a lot of crap for being Jewish, with South Park and all, but it's all gravy.

Translator May 31st, 2009 7:19 PM

Peter.

I like my name and I'm proud of it. I don't know why. xD

Gusxx1 May 31st, 2009 7:21 PM

Well my full name is Auguste. I'm Canadian and my fathers family is part french, so it isn't pronouced like the month (August). It's pronouced Augus-TAY. It sounds weird for English speakers which i am :/ I personally don't like it. But i do like "Gus" which is my nickname and a lot of people over the years told me they like it, And it isn't that common of a name either :D

Ayano Katagiri May 31st, 2009 7:22 PM

Mine's Alex. Considering that I chose my own name I shouldn't hate it and I mostly don't, except that it's too common. ;_;

BHwolfgang May 31st, 2009 7:31 PM

Borey. Heh, my name is almost as original as Borat. =D

I never viewed it at a comedic standpoint until that movie was released. Now, I'm Borat. =D It's getting repetitive now. :|

Do I like it? Yes. Did I wanted another name? Yes. Do I hate my name, though? No.

It is common in the US anyway.

jigglyppuff8 May 31st, 2009 7:34 PM

Mine's Kevin. I was named after the protagonist of Home Alone. >_> Don't really mind it though. There are a few other Kevins where I live.

Nnoitra Jiruga May 31st, 2009 7:34 PM

Nicole. Ugh. It's a quite common name in my school : /

Her May 31st, 2009 7:36 PM

Christopher. I like it, so good for so many potshots at people (chris-tianity ftw!)

But, it's annoying when people use my middle name (robin) with it as well.

Christopher Robin, ugh.

Gary, the Magic Fairy May 31st, 2009 8:43 PM

Garret. I don't really like it. I do sorta like Gary, though. Except I do find it kinda weird when people call me Gary IRL. XD

Heart May 31st, 2009 9:10 PM

My first name? Well it's Jerry. I love my name.

deliriouspurple May 31st, 2009 10:11 PM

Inna is my name, it's not common at our school. So that's why I like my name.

viridian doubletongue June 1st, 2009 2:34 AM

♣Gawain♣ June 1st, 2009 3:21 AM

I have a long first name. Washington. And I like it 'cause it's cool and classical.

Cherrim June 1st, 2009 3:42 AM

Yeah, I'm Harry Pothead, and yeah I like my name. There are others I would like more but meh, I'm fine with Harry.

Suki June 1st, 2009 8:50 AM

My name is Amina and I am not proud :]

devilicious June 1st, 2009 8:53 AM

Giancarlo.

Since it's an Italian name, it's not anywhere near common here in Brazil. And while I don't dislike it, it's annoying because everyone spells it wrongly.

Signomi June 1st, 2009 8:54 AM

My first name is Christina, and since I've had the name all my life I don't really think much of it. XD;
