So what's YOUR first name?

Randa&Jerm

I keep watching movie credits like I never have before  long lists of real names is more helpful to me than looking in a name book all day. 

 

I know my name is certainly not a popular choice on this board and in fact, when looking for a name for DD1 I posted it wondering what people would say if I chose it for my daughter and it was deemed redneck name of the year! Lol. I love my name and only one when I was a kid thought to change it to something "beautiful" like Rose.  Lol

But my name is Maranda

Whats yours? Share your middle too if you are up for it.

Robin Sue

LOL I always hated it growing up cause everyone always had to sing rockin robin. Now it's Fly Robin Fly. It was all because dad was so upset that I wasn't Robert Jr. and mom refused to name me Roberta so I got Robin. I was supposed to be Melissa. My middle name is my godmothers first same well Susan but Robin Susan sounded funny to my mom.

My first name is Orley ( pronounced Or-Lee). I hated it growing up, found it annoying to have to repeat it and spell it all the time. I don't like my name but don't hate it now, it is my name and I am used to it but I still get annoyed having to repeat and spell anytime I meet someone new. That is why I dislike very unusual names for my kids and want to give my kids "normal" names.

 Can you believe people ask me to repete my name and to spell it. If I told you my last name you would all probably laugh even more when they ask me how to spell it.

I'm Anne Elizabeth. I love my name, you don't hear it too often, but I think it's pretty and classic.

Natasha. 

MN is a flower and I hate it. Cornelia.

Chasity Rose.

Not Chastity, not Charity, not Christy, not Chelsea. 

It's not spelled Chasidee, Chasedy, Chasty, Chassity, Chasitie etc. 

I like it now, but growing up it was a pain.  Even now no one hears it right, spells it right, and half the time remember it right for months.  I'm just used to it now.  I think it souds pretty, has a nice meaning, but nothing I'd recommend.

Lauren

I always get Laura, Laurie, Lori, or Loraine. And for some reason people who do pronounce it correctly spell it Loren, the male way. I like my name though, just can be annoying when pronounced wrong and it seems like such a simple name.

zaramarie81

Really Maranda was deemed redneck name of the year???

Miranda (spelled like that) is on my list! Hey, Shakespeare liked it!

My name is Sarah. I love the name; I just happen to share it with most women my age, which I hope to avoid for my child.

Laura Marie

Didn't care for it as a child, but I love it now. When I introduce myself, people sometimes call me Lauren which is annoying though.

Dana Elizabeth. I was Dana outside and Elizabeth or Betty or Betsy at home. I hate my first name because its unisex. Also, my parents hate it, long story, so I've always been more comfy with Elizabeth or Betsy.

 

ObLaDi

My name is Risa Chai (my middle name is after my grandfather Chaim).

I love having an unusual name--even though I have to explain it to people multiple times a day!

My brother is Max Izak (mn pronounced IT-sock; a variant of Isaac).

My first name and my brother's middle both mean laughter. My dad was a sitcom writer when I was growing up.
