Re: Sarah

I wouldn't change my name over other people's opinions. Yes, I'm one of the ones that has called Sarah 'bland' in past posts. It's still a decent name to have. I'd personally prefer being named Maya over being named Sarah, but if I'd have been called Sarah I'd probably stick with it.
My own name is not really awesome to me. It's grown on me. I used to dislike it, and now it's just my name. An annoying name for going abroad (and I currently live 'abroad'), a little dated in my own country and the less common spelling variant of a known name (so I had to always specify the spelling). I'm not even contemplating changing it though. My mom loved it and it's my name and that's good enough :)
