I hated it as a child because there was never anything personalized available with it...I SO wanted one of those license plate things for my bike and I cried when they didn't have my name. </p> <p>Now, I like it because it's memorable. No one forgets me, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1/page/2#post-918266 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 06:07:56 +0000 honeybear 918266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! I almost never meet other women with it who are less than 85 years old (okay, sometimes it's someone's middle name), but it's definitely classic. I didn't always love it--in high school I disliked having an unpopular and really traditional name, but now that I'm an adult, I think it's awesome that my parents had the foresight to give me a name that translates seamlessly into adulthood. It's serious, but feminine, and there is an obvious historical reference point that I find very meaningful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1/page/2#post-918261 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 05:57:56 +0000 avivoca 918261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like my name, it just gets annoying when people assume I'm a guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1/page/2#post-918255 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 05:53:23 +0000 tequiero21 918255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my name, and didn't think it was too popular cuz when I was growing up, not too many Asians. But now, especially with my married name, it's super duper ruper popular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1/page/2#post-918163 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 01:55:44 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 918163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh. I don't think I liked it much when I was younger. My maiden name began with a K, and in college I was BK. I liked that. </p> <p>My mom was going to name me Summer, and I always wanted to have that name! One of her other choices was Leilani, and I love that name too! But no....she chose this name. (Head over to gold name thread if you don't know what it is.)</p> <p>I am named after my mom's sister, but my mom just spelled it differently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1/page/2#post-916948 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:14:56 +0000 shopaholic 916948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Aww, thanks!

It's normal, not too common but not weird at all (everyone probably knows at least one of me). My name could have 2 different nicknames. While I hate nicknames, I would possibly prefer one of them to my real name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1#post-915942 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:37:25 +0000 Weagle 915942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like my name.

My full first name I am kind of meh on. Only because it is very ethnic (Swedish) and people have trouble saying it right. My nickname, however, people pronounce right but spell wrong. LOL But it is more common and I think it is pretty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1#post-915915 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:33:08 +0000 mrs. wagon 915915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in the minority... I really hate my name! :( I don't mind my full name, but it's long (9 letters, 3 syllables) so it's always shortened, and my parents chose to use the one nickname that I really don't like. It's a stripper/hooker/cheerleader/bimbo/villainess name. I went by my full name in high school because I got sick of being made fun of, but when I got to college I just started going by my nickname again because that's what my whole family and lifelong friends knew me as, and I've embraced it. I even use it professionally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1#post-915899 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:29:21 +0000 cascademom 915899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, my name wasn't that popular when I was born, so it was a little different for the time. One of the new babies at LO's daycare has my formal given name (not my nickname). It was so surprising to see since popular names don't typically veer towards mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1#post-915890 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:27:53 +0000 rachiecakes 915890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's okay. I've never known too many others with my name IRL, even though it's popular.<br /> I love my family-name middle name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1#post-915845 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:19:38 +0000 SugarplumsMom 915845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also selected indifferent. I learned to like my name, it's who I am, but I don't think it's the prettiest name. However, I love my nickname, but very few ppl call me it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1#post-915825 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 13:16:10 +0000 Torchwood 915825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's alright. I put indifferent. It was just a name my parents thought was cute, and I'm the type to want a name with some meaning or significance. I am rather fond of Elizabeth the First though, so at least I can claim some historical significance. I do very much like that it offers so many nicknames, since I've changed the name I actually go by several times. (Beth growing up, Elizabeth for bit, Lizzie in high school, and Liz now.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1#post-915691 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 12:56:00 +0000 SweetiePie 915691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up I didn't like it (as I was often called my screen name here and so I felt that it was an old lady name :-) )<br /> As I got older I liked it more and more because so few in my generation share it. But now it's been a top 10 name for at least 10 years and was #1 for many years, so I see and hear it everywhere, and of course no one thinks its "unique" anymore.<br /> But I still like it and wouldn't change it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1#post-915676 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 12:53:06 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 915676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my name! It's not unique at all (usually in the bottom of the Top 100 names), but I don't meet too many people with it. When I do, I get so excited to meet someone with my name. When I was younger a lot of people would say "That's my dogs name!" which was annoying, but I still love my name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1#post-915668 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 12:50:23 +0000 Bao 915668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: right, me too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1#post-915664 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 12:49:45 +0000 Bao 915664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like my name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1#post-915656 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 12:47:39 +0000 lovehoneybee 915656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man, I'm really curious what everyone's name is now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1#post-915649 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 12:45:52 +0000 shopaholic 915649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love my name (Vivian) but always wished it had been spelled Vivien.

It's not a super common name but classic and it's spelled differently but not too differently. It's not always pronounced corrently or spelled correcntly without my help, but I don't care. I did wish I could have a nickname as a kid, the name doesn't really lend itself to a nickname. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-name-1#post-915532 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 12:09:07 +0000 rawrasaur 915532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really don't like it, but I wouldn't go through the effort of changing it.
