What would your DC like to be called?

[Acostapurposes]

So you spend ages picking a name.

And ten years later they say its too common, or weird, or not double barreled.

My Dd wants to be called Olivia-Mae or Wednesday.

Any one else DC wants a name change?

My DS (8), who has an Old Testament name, has just informed me that he'd like to have been called Mohammed. He likes his name, but Mohammed is preferential.

Dd1 wants to be called Rosetta (we are die hard tinkerbell fans in this house)
Dd2 is quite content with her own name, Elodie

Wolverine

DS 1(age 36) likes his first name because it's uncommon in his age group, but detests his middle name (Richard)
DD 1(34) would like anything but her very fashionable at the time name (think along the lines of Sarah, Claire, Victoria)
DS 2(29) shortened his name as soon as he was old enough and never ever uses his proper name
DD 2(23) loves her three names and would never change them
DD 3(21) thinks her first name is meh and would like to be called by her third name (brooke)

DD1 is 5 and wants to be called Rosie. No idea where is has come from but she keeps asking why she isnt called Rosie.

I have a Rosie - its a cool name!

Ds1, aged 6 isn't fussed.

Ds2, aged 5 doesn't understand why we didn't name him Sue. He's been asking us why we didn't call him Sue. He's a Sooty and Jonny Cash fan.

She told me she wants to be known as J-Cool from now on. She's 3.

Her name doesn't even start with a J.

Sorry for late reply was trying to sort house out and failing. It is Lily - we really haven't come across many certainly not at school (she's a 2 form intake school too) or other classes.

DS1 (age 6): Awesome Skill
DS2 (age 4): Awesome Snowman

I'll get the deed poll paperwork pronto...

DD (8) always wanted to be called Jessica. All her teddies are called Jessica, jessie or jess. Except the boy ones. They're called Jed. Or Barry.

My sister(21) still hates the fact her name isn't Camilla... I don't think it was ever even an option!

I've always hated my name (it's unusual with no obvious nickname) but since acquiring a surname based nickname as an adult have gotten over wishing for other names

My children are quite happy with their names, but I remember desperately wanting to be called Maureen when I was small. I hero-worshipped a slightly older cousin of that name and just wanted to be her. My mum wouldn't agree to calling me Maureen so I named my doll that instead.

We recently had this conversation at home. DD loves her name, but did admit she also likes the name Hermione.
DH made a massive "I knew it!" face to me. Hermione was his first choice name for DD, but she was born in 2004, right in the middle of massive Harry Potter hype so I vetoed it. Shame really, she would have totally rocked that name. It had been DH's favourite girl's name for years.

Ds said he likes his name, Dd1 picked Skye, dd2 said Lily.
