When I was at school i used to dislike my name, I always thought of it as being too long and posh. I love it now, It means Aristocratic/Noble. What is my name?..........Patricia aka Trish. |

Trish is OK, and of course you have the option of Pat or Patricia. With Paul, you're just Paul, not much you can do with it. Zeus would be a bit tw*tty Paul. |

I did a 'pick a new name for me' thread a year or so ago... we ended up picking Levi. |

I hated my name at school. I was THE only one with it, and it rhymed so beautifully with BANANA, PIANA (O) and a few more. I like it now though. Deanna banana piana............ X |

Don't really like my name but I'm stuck with it. My parents decided to name me Rachel but everyone shortend it to Rach, which I hate. I only ever liked my name said in welsh (roughly - Ratchel). |

hate it, hate it, hate it!!! My name is Kim and I always got: 'I've got a dog called Kim' - yeah, thanks for that one . Don't know what I'd rather have, I think very few people are satisfied with what they're called aren't they? Kim!!! |

I do like the name Rachel though. My niece is a Rachael, as is Sharons cousin... the funny thing is, they were born 3 days apart, in the same hospital, and Sharons aunt and my sister knew each other from school, saw each other in hospital, and ended up picking the same name. Spooky. |

Roxanne... you don't have to put on the red light... those days are over, you don't have to sell your body to the night... LOVE that song and think of it every time I see your name on here lol Paul, I can't believe I'm going to say this, knowing what people on here are like, but if I'd been a girl I was going to be Joanne. |

If I'd been a boy the odds are I'd have been Owain (O-wine, Owein) which is my brothers name, but mam and dad didn't decide on my name until after I was born. If my brother had been a girl he would have been Lucy Kathleen - that was being kind as he cold have been Ida Hilda / Hilda Ida, not the best names for a 15 year old. |
