Do you hate your given name?

I am from Iraq so my name is Said....guess it's ok, if only my last name wasn't Said too...

Said Said. Dead serious.

-_-

[Letmesleep]

Wouldn't it be pronounce 'sah-eed' though? Or is it literally pronounced like the word 'said'?

My name is James but i go by Jimmy. I don't hate my name because I lucked out in the cool name department. What if I was named Nico or some stupid shit like that.

Nico is a sick ass name. I like it. To each their own, I suppose.

Anyways, when I was younger I hated my name because it's an anglo name (my name is Dennis and I'm of Mexican decent), and I was really racist against white peeps (I was young and ignorant). Now, I embrace it fully because it is unique among my fellow brown folk down here in SoCal. I wouldn't want a name like Juan, Jose, Miguel, etc. Yes, I have the unique snowflake syndrome!

Ironically, one of my uncles is named Juan Jose! lolololol

You are right. Though my friends since they are mostly Dutch give me nicknames like SedSed or something of the like, I like that. :P

[Blood Fox]

Absolutely hate mine, so I go by mark.

My name is Emily. I hated it when I was younger because it was so common and uninteresting. I've learned to appreciate and actually like it over time. It suits me well enough.

Btw, I love the name Nico.

To be honest I kind of like how it's pronounced. Makes me think of Lost. Which I hate. But I love the character in it!

[bloodkin]

my full name is Jarin Johannes Gerardus Straver, normally in dutch company i'll just go with my regular name. Jarin, but when i'm with english speaking people i use John (second name), as nobody seems to be able to pronounce my name, also, it's less wierd :P.

Hmm, don't watch that series, but just googled it.

Great first 3 seasons but then they just start making shit up as they go and leave over 100 unfulfilled plot lines by the end. Lazy writing at it's finest. There's a great character in it named Sayid though. He's one of my favorite.

I like my name, Travis, but I hardly ever get called it besides family and my GF. Everyone else either calls me Lambear (my last name is Lambert) or just Lambert. Hell if somebody calls me Travis I often don't even think they are talking to me.

My name is Justin. I didn't feel strongly one way or the other until that Bieber chick got famous.

[Shakadam]

My name is Robin, I quite like it. It works in many languages and it's easy to pronounce. It's one of those names that work for both genders as well I guess, although around here it's almost exclusively a male name (I'm a dude), where as in the US I think it might be more common as a female name?

[Prifter]

I hate mine, it's only understandable in the province I live in... Pier-Olivier is my name by the way.

[derpkitteh]

i like my name. it's pretty unique actually, people are usually like O.o

though i like my name, i usually go by my middle name, since it's shorter.

[grexly75]

I love my name coz it is awesome and I was named after a Scottish town.

[Belize]

Jean-Philippe. You can imagine how people in the U.S. pronounce it.... I go by J-P.
