Personally, I've always been thinking about renaming since my name is Róbert, which is pretty rare in my country(don't know about other countries tho) and sounds very weird and lame (at least to me). But there's something that holds me back from doing it. I think my parents wouldn't like it and might also be disappointed in me. I also think they wouldn't get used to it and would still (along with my best friend) call me Robo forever. I don't have anyone else who could care less.

Have you ever considered renaming yourself ? Are you happy with your name? If you renamed yourself wha would your new name be?

My first name means fair/white in one language and my family name means black/dark in another language. It's the kind of name a science fiction writer would come up with for a morally ambiguous character.

But I like it, so I'm keeping it.

Nuuuuuuu!!!! Childhood horrors. I got teased a lot with my nickname. Calling me "ki-ki" "ki-ki" even though it is pronounced differently which is really dumb.

But I still don't hate my nickname. Thinking back, I realize how immature children are.

Hell no. Actually, I used to dislike my name a bit when I was a child because I thought it was 'too unique' or something. But yeah, I wouldn't rename myself, ever :P.
I love it nowadays.

Hi my name's Jazz, I was named Jazz because my mother loved Jazz music. Yes, I enjoy listening to jazz music. I also used to play the saxophone, how mildly ironic. I'm quite jazzy, and I know how to do jazz hands. *grins*

Nice to meet you, MAL. ~

My name is alright and unique, so I've never considered changing it. It sounds like such a hassle too, having to edit your information everywhere.

The only change I'd make to my name is to add my mother's family name to my middle name, since I have a very strong connection to that side of the family.

Absolutely not. My name is pretty uncommon where I live, but it's largely used in north europe. On the other hand, I have the third most common surname of my country. The result is... funny, I guess. Sounds good : D

I wouldn't change my name but I would love to change the spelling of my name... Choosing an uncommon spelling in my region of a very common name was really a bad decision of my parents. It's a pain to explain how to make an "é" on your keyboard in order to type in the name. And that's only the minor problem. On every second paper with my name there are at least 1 or 2 spelling errors in my name.

Definitely not.

My given name is English (from a Greek historical figure) and my Surname is German; I enjoy the juxtaposition and the sophisticated sound it has.

Regarding handles/aliases, I do not enjoy changing them either. It takes quite a bit of effort for me to piece together a sound alias, and the philosophy behind it. I take care to be original and identifiable.

My last name is the name of a famous german war ship. I have a biblical middle name and my first name is pretty generic here in London. If I did I did, I would change my name to something different and catchy. Too many people have the same name these days. I've already thought of names for my children

I've always laughed at people wanting to change their names, unless its a horrible name from dumbass parents, like from a game character or a curse/genital word. "Dick Fergison" "Gay Lord" poor guys...

I love and am very proud of my name, I fucking love it. And I love not having a middle name either.
