 Pickalish wants to know......

What name do you wish you'd been born with?

Comments

[Sarah]

I like my middle name better than my first name: Rachel.

[Bluegrass Mama]

I actually really like my name (much better than those of my three sisters).

[Trish R]

I do like my name but it's so awfully long and quite a tongue twister even by Asian standard *lol*

[cyndy]

Oh I love the name Heather.

[mar]

I couldn't have any other name...

[kenju]

I used to wish my name was Elizabeth (after Liz Taylor).

[david]

Duke Somethingorother

[fauve]

I wish I really were Fauve

[Pearl]

When I was little I signed my name Mary. I toyed with legally changing to Sheila at one point.

Now I have a friend with that name so changing would be rather confusing. As in, "I really like you name, I mean reaallllly like it. (snatch) Mine."

Mine's hard to say and attention getting and heavily gendered but I'll stick with anyway I guess. :-)

i like my name but I do wish they'd spelled it Caitlyn instead of Katelin

[wordnerd]

I like my name (Erika), but as a pre-teen I wanted to be Marcia (after Marcia Brady, of course)!

[caspar]

I have grappled with the spelling of my name and all of the "friendly ghost" jokes that are aimed at the alternative spelling (casper). Wendy this and Wendy that. If I wasn't imaginary in my own right, I'd take this quite seriously.

If given the chance to select another name, I think I'd choose from this group:

Ace Noodulz
Binky Oogie
Creswell Parchessi
Druish Quince
Epee Rasputin
Fil Scooter
Geoffrey Trent
Heath Uncle Tim
Iggy Velvet
Jojo Wally
King Louie Xerxes
Lansalittle Yosh
Meester Zoot

i always hated my name growing up because i was named after my step grandmother who hated kids... not to mention that, while it is a common name, it is spelled in an uncommon way and it annoys me when people spell it wrong even though there is no way they could know how to spell it unless i tell them first.

[Terri]

I'd like Alicia....the name I was ALmost named. (Rather than Theresa, my real name)

[Shephard]

Well, I love my name. So I wouldn't change.
But... not unlike Caspar (or maybe Kenju), I wonder about having a really unusual name...what would my life be like if my name were Bobbie Gobble? Or Marmaduke Van Beezle? Or Zinglebert Bembledack? (nod to Eddie).

[Becky]

I like my given name, but I wish my parents would've called me Rebecca instead of nicknaming me. It's more confusing as an adult.

[MommaK]

Paris or Nicky Hilton ...I'm not picky ;-)

[Karen]

Alexis or Elizabeth...So my daughter is Alexis Elizabeth-Marie!! (Marie came from a family member)

[Keb]

One linked to a long history of wealth.
