Your first name

[Citizen Kaos]

I hate my first name! Just because it's stupid and the fact that it was mispelled when I was a baby and therefore, no one pronounces it the right way! UGH! :phhht I just hate it!

I had a brother-in-law who had the worst name I have ever heard of. His last name was Grass...his first was Urban. Urban Grass? who would do that to their kid? He didn't use his middle name because it was Valentine. Some parents are just cruel.

(now if any of my long lost stepfamily reads reality tv boards - I just lost any hope of being annonymous)

This site is cool...just put in your name and you will get a description of it.
You don't have to be a member either, try it.

Ok, I did this for all 4 of us (me, husband and 2 kids) The kids, fit them to a T, they are very different and the descriptions were very different and were matched to each child. My husband's sort of matched and mine....well about 75% matched.

One of my pet peeves is when parents name their children names that start with the same letter on purpose. "Oh, we have to name our 3rd baby a name that starts with an M too or she'll feel left out." :rolleyes

My friend's family -- both parents and all 7 ( ) kids start with J. Also one grandmother, 2 aunts and a uncle are J names too... It get very confusing.

I worked with a guy who's name was Kent Wayne. His first name was named after the hospital he was born and the 2nd was the after the Doctor.

My middle name is the name of the hospital where I was born too - Dee.

I should have pulled that on my kids: Jessica St. Benedict and Lori at the corner of 42nd and Harrison.

Here are some strange/lucky/strange names.

as for me, i was never really a fan of my name....especially after hearing the story about it.....i was named after a type/brand/whatever of Apples.

Yes. i was named after a bleepin fruit.

Delicious?

Personally I've always felt it was a sign of mental illness to name everyone with the same letters. My husband's mother's family is all "J" (and yes they are all nuts), his Aunt named all 5 of her daughters "J" names and one of them continued with the tradition. I just call them the "J" people, I can't keep it right.

I named my kids alphabetically . Of course I didn't get too far down the alphabet and hubby didn't co-operate and named the other twin with the same first letter.
The all with the same letter thing is freaky.

I hate my first name - it was a made up one. I use my second , but the Govt and official people still use it, so I know by the name they use on the phone whether I should just hang up.

I'm actually glad to hear these "J" stories...my husband's family are all "J"s as well (mom, dad, brother, sister). I got sucked into giving my oldest daughter a J name, but I absolutely refused with my youngest. (I'm not a J myself.)

It's nice to know my mother-in-law is not the only one with this sickness
