I’ve always wanted to go by Sofia or Scarlette or Charlotte, but Madelaine is a very pretty name in itself. =D
My name is Jennifer…the most popular name ever. I always had at least to other Jennifer’s in all my classes growing up. At one point I made people call me Sarah!
~Jen
I was obsessed with the movie Titanic when I was younger, and always wished that my name was Rose!
My name’s Caitlin and it annoys me so much because there are SO many other ways for it to be spelled! Really, there has to be leats 20 other ways. But if I could change my name it’s be either Paige, Scarlett, or Nelli.
I’ve never really thought about it, but I guess if I could change my name it’d be Lisa, my middle name!!! lolz
:):)
I hate my first name, but I don’t think I’d change it. It’s what my mum chose for me.
And I can’t think of one name that’d I like right now.
I hate my name. It’s so blahhhh, plus people usually say, “oh, like Nelly the rapper?” And that bugs me. I’ve always loved the name Isabella. It’s such a beautiful name.
I agree with the Caitlin up there ^. There really are so many ways to spell the name. I, obviously, go by Kaitlyn. I honesty don’t know what I would change my name to. Something cool and slightly weird probably. I just don’t know what that is!
I love my name!!!!!!!!! but what should i do about the award that i won last week???? wats gonna happen?????
I have always liked Elizabeth, but I would make everyone call me Liz or Alexica, but everyone would call me Lexie or Alexis, or even Schyuler which would be Sky for short.
I’ve always wanted to change my name to Lucinda I have always been very fond of that name. It would either be that or Annabell.
Hi my birth name is Mindy. Not Melinda not short for ANYTHING just Mindy. The doctor named me as I was supposed to be Rusty Joe (not my choice for a name either by the way)! LOl…I was supposed to be boy I guess. I like strong neutral names. Usually 1 or 2 syllables. Unusual names are great, Grace is awesome but I am a total klutz. I also think that names that are both for a boy or girl are very strong names. Jamie, Morgan, Logan, Sam, Alex…very strong 1 or 2 syllable names. I guess my name is not so bad after all. It is strong. 2 syllables and it is not common. Hmmm..thanks for the chance to analyze my name!
Anti-spam word: cool
I don’t know… I don’t LOVE my full name, which is why I much prefer my friends & people on the net to call me Cass… since it just seems so much more casual.
I know that I’d want a name that is classy, not overly common, but current.
Ummm, I don’t really know what I’d change my name to. When I was younger and I used to play with “pretend” and “house” with my friends, my name would always be Rose or Courtney. But, if I had the option to change my name today, I would probably keep it the same.
Hmm.. I used to want to change my name to Anastasia! Now I’d probably go with Ember, Scarlett, or Aurelia.
I’ve always wished I had been named Gwen after my grandmother. my mom really dropped the ball on that one
I got my books today! I am so excited! Thank you so much. I love them all and will cherish them!!
