I had a lucky escape and like my own name. If I had been a boy, I would be Nigel!

No, a bit dated now

Nope, but only because it is not a particularly common name, so it wouldn’t occur to me to choose it. It’s a nice enough name. There are just others I like more.

No. It was dated when my parents gave it to me and I'm sure it hasn't made a comeback for a reason.

Nope.

My first name, definitely not. It can stay in the 60s where it belongs.

My middle name however, which is the one I go by, definitely yes.

WispaBite · 22/04/2023 23:45

No, I hate my name.

God, no. It was incredibly popular and generic — the Olivia/Amelia of its day.
