I wanted to be Lily.

Victoria, veronica or samantha. I have a cute type name and always wanted what I thought was a glamorous name as a kid.

I told my mom I wanted to be Katrina. She was very offended (I was 9)

Nothing in particular, just a prettier, more popular current name. I was born in the 80's but had a name that was a top ten in the 60's & 70's and pretty much died out after that, so I always associated my name with someone much older.

The runner up for my name was Emily and when I was younger I always wished they'd chosen it instead of my name!

I always wanted to be Kimberly. I thought it was the most beautiful name from ages 5-12. No idea why now.

@autumnlove: @JerricaBenton: My name is Samantha . Up until the age of 5 I made everyone call me Cindy.

I wanted something more pretty and I hated the name that kids teased me with.

@fancyfunction: oh yes Tiffany was my favorite little girl's name but that's my niece's name so we couldn't use it. I loved the names Lauren, Suzanne, and wished my name was Samantha (after Alyssa Milano's character on Who's the Boss)

Yes, and always anything but my name! My mom picked the name thinking it was very unusual, but it ended up being int the top 10 most popular names for many years afterwards. I was always one of the 4 or 5 with my name in every class in school and I always wished I had a more original name! I wasn't even that picky, just wanted to not be the same as everyone else.

@Kimberlybee: I think some of my reasoning for liking it was b/c of the singer!

I don't like my full first name so growing up I always wished I had a different name. Thankfully I like my nickname, and that's all I go by now and have since I was about 10.
