What is it that you don't like about your name?

[Mr Ektion]

Ok, some people get it more unfair than others (like a guy with a girl's name) and sometimes it's the process of having to re-explain the pronounciation of your name over and over again. Maybe it's too simple or common? like all the john's, jennifers, lisas.. what sorta irks you about your name? Last name or first, whatever it is, what do you not like about your name?

For me, it's the whole W / U thing. Lawrence. or Laurence. Then there's the placement of the e. i dunno, for some reason people often get the wrong too (lawerence). Oh, and good lord do i dislike the whole 'Lawrence of Arabia' wise crack. i used to hear it more as a kid, but come on. and.... otherwise, it's my name and i'm stuck with it.

[e_BoY]

names Winson but 9 out of 10 times when i tell somebody what my name is they think its Winston. Even some people that know me still thinks its Winston or Vincent after a long time.

[Mr Ektion]

aww shit winson. I shoulda predicted that one for you fo sho. oh, another thing about my name. Kao. often pronounced COW. but no, it's kay-oh. like the two letters k.o. gotta adapt to so many different names and attempts.

[MC Hammered]

I hate the fact they don't have my name on fridge magnets. :(

[Lush]

Um where do I start...

so few people can pronounce it
it rhymes with Snotty and Potty (this was killer in elementary school)
People thinking it's funny to call me Shady or Shoddy
People questioning whether it's a nickname and has any reference to "shot gun"

But I mean besides those factors I like having a unique name and I love that it means "happiness."

[ulala]

haha where do I start?!... Anita. You can basically put any word you want behind my name and turn it into an extremely lame joke.

It makes me feel better about my last name, thats for sure!

I also actually had someone earlier today ask me what my name was and proceed to say 'Anita, anita.. what kind of name is that?'... THANKS BUDDY! But it is a logical question. What were my parents thinking?.

[charly]

i actually went to school with a girl named anita ho. poor girl.


anyways, i hate that fact that no one can ever spell my name right. CHERYL. they always spell is sheryl.. or cheryle or something.

my last name is worse. 5 letters, it's simple, but people can never pronounce it. it's ALWAYS misspelt and pronounced wrong. so annoying.

Well they should have named you Ulala.

According to your karma that is a name known to all.

[Atlantis77]

i like my name fine. But people always ask me "Sami?? what kinda name is that??" and they proceed on callin me Sam or Samuel. GOD i hate that. Im like my name is SAMI, thats it. Thats the only thing i dont like about my name. So in reality i dont have a problem with my name, i have a problem with IDIOTS!!

[Ms.Chop]

the fact that wen i was younger i got made fun of w/ my name..

my real name is Giselle.. and i was in cross country and track & field.. and ppl would call me galloping gazelle.. then wen i was in gr 7.. ppl came up w/ the stupidest names.. like gilette? i dunno:S and chizzle.. and.. yes.. i have been called Jizz:| cuz ppl cant pronounce my name properly and think its said Jizelle.. instead of Geezelle... well fuck off any1 calls me that again i swear to gawd their on a mission to ... have sumthin bad done to them.. havent decided wut yet...

and..

having the fact of being european and having a fob mom wake u up in the morning.. yelling ur name for an hour straight becuz u wont wake up for skool.. gets very annoying...

"GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZELLAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AA MARIA DASILVA MARTINS... AW SUA CARIHLA..."

in translation.. gisella maria dasilva martins.. o u fucker! lol

try that for annoying.

[lola_phyne]

With Lola i don't get anything weird really... gets annoying when guys say Hola Lola like it was the most orginally smooth pick up line. Lola's just a nickname but eventually became what i am called. Real name is Caroline. Always they gotta pronounce it carolyn. Like buddy you can't read. it's Caro-LINE not LYN. the the addition of the I and E make it totally different. Then they ask you which one it is. Read the name stupid fuck. You're supposed to be a teacher. I thought you could read.

[trance4life]

i like my name fine

[Scarface]

No worries , when your 40 , Lawrence will be great name.

We need to start a "Lawrence anonymous" group, a place where all of the Lawrence's of our generation can get together for some juice , cookies and a good man cry.

I got the name because my family is stuck on about 6 or 7 names that just get passed on to all the kids. And when I bitch to my now divorced parents they blame eachother for naming me.

But Honestly, I don't really give a shit. It's just a name , and just be glad your parents didn't name you Dick.

[Dr. Doom]

Doom's name is fuckign awesome, all of it.

[krisamata]

i dont not like my name...in fact i quite like it


but i do wish it was spelled krysta instead of krista


my mom was actually gonna let me get it legally changed...cause she wishes she would have thought of spelling it that way when she named me


i dont know if i'll ever bother though

[Mr Ektion]

I grew up with a girl named giselle, she was my neighbour of 18 some odd years. Her name is lebanese i believe and yeah, i can totally identify the 'fobby' euro accent. i can sorta still visualize giselle's mom with her over exasperated voice going 'no la-lence! you shouldn't do that!' ... i dunno. giselle is such a unique name that i don't think anyone should be able to mistake it. heh, woot.

Oh, don't get me wrong. i LOVE the name lawrence. .. don't hate. appreciate. anyways, like atlantis said, it's not the name i dis-like, just the stupid people. tho, it is hard trying to sound out a name like lawrence in the dark with loud music drowning out my words leaving lip reading the only option. sucks. 'what's your name? warren???' and yes, a 'lawrence group meeting' would be tight. we could make all the laurence's go to one side of the room, and all the lawrence's to go to the otherside, and we'll put a bunch of nerf bats inbetween them, and do'er up dodgeball style. first to a bat, get his way. :^) it's just an idea, but it'd be SUPER entertaining to gett all the lisa/elizabeth/liz/betty's to do one giant battle royale with nerf battons.

... i just woke up. i'll probably think i'm an idiot later.

[KenJi]

not too much to say about my name. some people don't get that KenJi is a japanese name. Hmm sometimes they do n't even think its my real name.

some people think its spelt KenGi, and even some think its pronounced KENG I!!

[stringbeans]

john john the leprechaun
went to school with nothing on
teacher said, thats not fair
give him back his underwear

kids used to sing this to me in elementary school and it'd make me sad :(

[barstar]

WHEN PO CALLS ME MR.COOPER WHEN THERE ARESTING ME..FUCKIN PIGS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Van Tek]

well... my real name's Jason... not much to say one way or the other about that one...
my pet peeve is how nobody can spell my alias
THA-NA-TOS
not THANTOS or TAHANATOS or THANATATOS or TANTOS or any of the other stupid shit that illiterate people seem to think it is... the worst part is that usually they're fucking CHATTING TO ME while they misspell it... so the correct spelling is right in front of their fuckin face and they STILL get it wrong! I mean shit... how dumb can u be???
