Do you like your name?

[CarneVaca]

CarneVaca suits me perfectly.

I like my name - unfortunately it seemed to be very "in-vogue" in the early 1970's, because there were so many other Heathers in school.

My middle name - Louise - I do not like at all. Probably becasue my dad used to call me "Wheesy" like the lady from The Jeffersons. I don't think there is any comparion there - my dad probably just used it to get on my nerves!

[face of glass]

Like it. Dictators rule.

Christy is cool, although the spelling issues throughout life poses some problems. I know how Lindsey feels.

My dad wanted to name me......

Windy Day.

LOL

My mom wanted to name me Shelley or Sheila and no offense to Shelleys or Sheilas but , thank goodness for Christy, my mom's best friend in high school. LOL

Yeah, I've been told I was either going to be Joanna Rebecca or my dad wanted to name me Diana, after the Princess. (I was born the year she married Prince Charles).

My mom worked with a lady who'd just had a baby named "Meredith," and she heard the name and liked it because at the time it wasn't that common. My great-grandmother picked out "Elizabeth" as my middle name. My last name is short (5 letters, 2 syllables) so it goes well with it.

How about Marja Juana then?

I'm sort of ambivalent about my name. I don't love it or hate it... it just is.
And I've never really felt like a "Brian"... probably because I bear a strong resemblance to my mother's dad (who passed away in 1976) and her brother, both of whom are named Samuel... so the extended family (Great-Aunts & Great-Uncles, and 2nd & 3rd cousins), as well as family friends, have often called me "Sammy," because of it.

It's actually pretty hysterical when people who went to high school with my uncle (he graduated in 1977), see me and say, "Sammy! Oh my God, you still look just like you did in school!"

But overall, "Brian" is a good name... plus it means "strong and noble," so one could definitely do worse!

I like the name Sam, but I teach SEVERAL this year. Definitely a trendy name.

I think the country singer Carlene Carter is the biggest name I know of. (And what's with this country music connection!?!?) Maybe I missed my calling.

By all means, recognize your heritage, embrace your destiny. You know, not many folks know this, but the Grand Ole Opry was originally going to be built in Pittsburgh.

I've always really liked the name Justin... it's masculine, and it has a great meaning (just, true, virtuous), without sounding at all stodgy or out-dated.

If it's good enough for wonderChristy's big-haired loverboy, who can criticize?

I have one song of that I know of with my name in it....it's "Darlin' Danielle Don't" by Henry Lee Summer. I think he even released it as a single, but I don't think it went too far. oh well. What does the record-buying public know anyway? lol

Complete the phrase for us: Darlin' Danielle Don't __________.

Maria Ann.

I agree with Brian, I don't like it or hate it. It just is. Not sure what it means. My pet-peeve is being called Marie.... takes me back to childhood, and when I hear someone call me that, I think I'm in trouble!

Maria

Marie reminds me of Antoinette or Barone or Carrie Fisher's When Harry Met Sally character.
I agree, stick with Maria.
