    I love my first and last name.

    My middle names...kinda suck. John and Patrick...eh...just don't really fit me.

    Maybe Sean instead of John and...well I dunno.

    I like my name. It feels unique :slight_smile:

    Even tho people cannot ever spell my last name, i think it is funny to see how they will spell it next.

    I hate my last name, and I do intend to change it, but my first name is okay. I'd be open to changing it because Eric is so terribly common. Definitely my last name, though, I'd change.

    Nope. I love the name Geoffrey. People often misspell it, mispronounce it, or generally otherwise fuck it up, but I like it.

    I went through a phase of wanting to have a more common name when I was younger. I've only met one other Geoffrey who spelled it the same way, and he was a jerk. He was cute though.

    Plans on changing my first and middle name.

    last name can stay unless a partner would appreciate otherwise. IDGAF really, it's common so whatever.

    I already did. Not legally, but the name everybody calls me, and the name on my credit cards, isn't the same name I was given at birth.

    But people are going to be pronouncing my name out there in the world when I make it, they need to be able to say it right the first time, not the after the 5th time I correct them.

    I want to change my surname because I'm sick of immature people sniggering about it.

    My surname is Gossip.

    Don't laugh.

    Actually, no. I wouldn't. I'm used to people misspelling it constantly, and I like how unique it is. I appear to be the only person with my name on the entire internet! (Well, I'm not the only "Kirah", but if you search my first and last name, I'm the only one.) Handy for an artist-like person, methinks.

    If I were going to do anything to my name legally, I'd just add a hojillion ridiculous middle names that I'd never use but would have to appear on legal documents, ahahaha. I'd be, like, Kirah <ActualMiddleName> Xandria Unicorn RoboPanda-Laserbeam Lincoln <ActualLastName> or something.

    I wonder how high they'd think I was if I actually went and got it changed to that. >.>

    I definitely would. What kind of name is Teddy? I seriously think my parents were high when they named me.

    And my last name is even worse. It roughly translates to "cleaning lady" in Spanish.

    Now yoda, that would be a great name.

    But asides from that I am happy with David or Davy.

    I've been wanting to change my name for a long timeā€¦ switching my middle name for my first name.
    Natalie suits me way better than Laura.
    I dislike hearing my name, it makes me cringe.
