My name has been mentioned three times. I knew I had the best name. Grin.

My name has been mentioned as a silly name, I absolutely love my name and wouldn't change it. I think it's been life changing and was the best gift my parents ever gave me!

My interpretation of silly was a name I love but is quite out there so if it was mine - which would be amazing, I’ve never met one - it wasn’t an insult!
GahAndTheBear · 22/03/2022 10:03

My name is crap. Properly crap. Start a terrible names no one should inflict on a child thread and it’ll be mentioned within 3 replies. And then repeatedly.

Which is to say I’ve given this thought (but the logistics of changing your name - and the family politics too - are awful).

I’d choose to be Ailis.

LollyPollyPop · 22/03/2022 10:08

Sensible: Chrissie
Not so silly: Queenie (it was my Grandmas name)
