Nope... I would not inflict it on my worst enemy let alone my child. My parents made a mistake of taste and fortunately realised fairly quickly & I have always been known by my middle name... Except when I suspect an organisation will sell my details on.

Anyone else really intrigued what everyone's names are?! 🤣🤣🤣

Fluffyhoglets · 24/04/2023 22:44

Yes. I really like my name - have never disliked it but actually love it these days!

My sister has an ok name (Erica.) I have a sinister alter ego which is Angelica. Smile And a Christian alter ego now of Mary Prudence.

sort of mean energy about them - myself included

@PaintedEgg Aw don't say that, I'm sure you're not mean. Or you could transform into being not-mean. x

No, my name is too popular now (although desperately old lady and un-used when I was given it in the 70s).

I'm probably more snarky than mean, but there is definitely something about names and some personality traits :D

I would consider it. It’s a classic used in lots of different countries.

LittleCactus · 09/05/2023 09:16

Yes, I love my name and my middle name

Nope. It's unisex and I've found it a pita growing up.
