Have you? I remember as a kid I wanted to change my name to "Robin" :lol: I hated my name because nobody could pronounce it correctly and it ended up all butchered. Now I have gotten used to nicknames <3

I don't like my name, but I don't think I want to change it either.

I don't really have an opinion of my name. But I wouldn't change it either, because it flows so perfectly with my last name!

Her name's Kate.

When I was younger, I used to wish my name was Michael for some reason, but I really like Christopher.

I hated my name, my mom named me after my aunt, so I'm "Little Lissa" BLAHHHH. And my last name is boring as well, so generic, I might as well be Jane Doe.

I've never liked my name, Kerry Diane baaaahhhh!!! Every parent comes up with stupid nicknames, for me i had the torture of being named "kerrybobs" for years, which progressed to "kerry-Bobbles-Bonbon-bobbins" seriously its depressing

Nope, I'm sure it's pronounced the latter of the two I suggested.

Anywaaaaaay.. when i first saw the title of this i thought it was about changing LEIA user names :P lol i noticed we can [for a price] on vbPlaza how cool

I've always wanted to change my name. In school, teachers always mispronounced my name, and there is this really horrible story about my name where someone got it wrong and it utterly broke my heart as a result. :'(

I always thought it was pronouced Lee-sa!
I should get used to saying it right though. :hehe:

Actually, I just remembered that I hate my middle name. I don't know if it's a Vietnamese tradition or something, but my mother's middle name is also mine and my sisters' middle name. I really don't like it... I'd rather have no middle name at all.

I love my name, not many people have my name (its Suzy)...
what i hate though are people who try and make it longer and insist its Susan even though i tell them its not....or my friends who are so lazy and cant say the whole thing, as short as it is and decide to shorten it even further...

Did this just happened reccently, or it's a while ago?

I'm sure it happened today, because I don't think it was orange yesterday. She used the tool in the vbPlaza thingummybobber.

So it's Lih-sa? Not lee-sa? My mistake. Won't be able to change the habit now.

:P I want to change my long name that nonody can pronounce but sometimes I like it because it's original. If I could change my name it would be Ruby or Opal. Or something like that. I wouldn't mind my name being "Kat".

I don't think I've ever wanted to change my first name, but it's an unusual spelling, so everyone (teachers included) spells it wrong. I do have issues with my middle names (I have two, one of which was never intended to be there, but my great-grandmother insisted), becuase they have caused no end of trouble of late. (Driver's license, graduation-related stuff, etc.) My mum has called the school at least four times, because they keep using one, then changed it to the one that wasn't supposed to be there...but can't actually get it right...:rolleyes:

Well, recently I've been whining about how my name is too common and thus I needed a nick name, but nobody could come up with one. :lol:

When I was little, I wanted my name to be Emily because it was my 'favorite name' for some silly reason I can't remember. Right now though, I am quite happy with my name and wouldn't want to change it. :)

When I was little, I wanted to be Christina, but now I think it's just silly. I guess it was just a kind of thing like the color pink. I think I lost my love of both at the same time.

On another note, I've always known it's lih-sa, she'd spell it Lisa if it were lee-sa.

I always wanted to change my name when I was little. Now I love it.

Of course, on the forum, you're free to change your "name" whenever you have enough points :lolo:

I wanted to change my name up until I found out how arduous the whole process would be. I guess I'll just use fake names online and keep my real name in real life.
