[Opinions] Survey
I randomly came up with this so I thought I'd give it a try. This is a "most common names of BtNers", "most popular names on BtN", and "opinions of names" survey all in one. I know we had a "most popular" not too long ago, but just to see if anything's changed:1) What is your first name? (If you don't want to post your real name you can still answer the other questions)2) What is your one favorite name for each gender?3) Pick one of these words to describe how you feel about your first name: Love, Like, Neutral, Dislike, or Hate?

3 Like; Deborah is fine except for the ghastly nns and perverted spellings. But I've had two daughters with three names each, and not a Deborah among them, which probably indicates something.

1. I'll not say WHAT it is, but I'll say that it's two names (one French, the other is from a bunch of different languages). 2. So hard to decide! I'll just choose a random one I like for each gender. Guys- Leopold. Girls- Anneliese. They aren't necessarily my number one favorite. I can't EVER decide on a favorite anything.3. Full first name- Neutral/Like; Nickname- LOVE, it fits me SO much better than my full first name.

1. Janice2. Evander and Victoria3. Neutral. There are better names than mine, and worse names than mine. Even I can't look past the fact that my name is dated, but when I can manage to put myself back into time when it was new and fresh, I can see its appeal. I might actually have really liked it back then. For now, though, I'd rather not have a dated name that many dislike for that reason alone. But then, it's not horrible, and I'd still rather have it than some names that are popular now that I hate. Neutral.

Can I ask you something?Hopefully it isn't too personal. You don't have to answer if you don't want to. When you changed your name, was it "the one", or a name that you really liked? Just basically...how did you end up making your choice? Sorry for the random question. I just realized that I never asked you that before, and it seems silly since you've changed your name and I haven't yet. Thanks :)

I wondered the same thing.
vote up1
Oh dear I did not see that you also asked! Well, long story short, after many years of indecision and waiting for my "true love" of a name to come along and take me away from all this (which it never did), I finally just made a list of what I was looking for in a name - the characteristics I wanted. I made many many lists and after a long narrowing-down process, I ended up with the name I have today. One thing I did not do, surprisingly, was check the popularity of the name. I don't know if I forgot, or didn't care or what, but I really - honestly!- had no idea that Chloe was such a pop-rocket of a name. If I had to do it again, I might've gone with my runner-up name, Clio. At the time though, I thought Chloe sounded friendlier and "more me". Maybe it was a blessing in diguise because whenever I tell people that Clio was my second choice, they delight in telling me of how awful Clio is and how they'd have no respect for a person named Clio. So... yay? My surname actually did come to me in a flash of insight though. It's basically a matronymic.
