HelpRe: What do you think about your name?
in reply to a message by Francisinfp5w4
I could go on about my name. I actually wrote a psychology paper on this very subject and how it influenced my life for my general psych class back in college.
I have a love hate relationship with my name. There are times I love it, and other times I hate it. It was the third most popular name my year of birth.
Things I love about it:
- History behind the name. Its origins fit who I am perfectly. I'd say it was destiny, but my parents had chosen it without that particular knowledge.
- The reason my mom advocated for my name. Its nickname is a very popular song by Barry Mantilow and its full form is a popular hit from the band Boston. Mom loved both of those songs.
- It's easy to pronounce in many of the Latin-based languages so it translates very well when needed.
- Can translate well from "fun" and "spunky" to more "serious" and "adult"
Things I hate about it:
- Insanely common and in certain context can feel very dated. I rarely hear anyone with my name under the age of 25.
- Because it's so common, it can come across as more vanilla-esque rather than anything more exotic or rich.
- How easy it was to use it in bullying. Even as an adult.
