Oh how I hate my name...it is Krista. Pet name to Kristina meaning Follower of Christ.
For one, I have always hated my name since as a nickname people thought it prudent to call me Krissy...which is just eew. Now that I am older I'm Nihilistic so it irks me a bit to have a name derived from religion. - _-
Oh and I don't even look like a Krista....I have no idea what my parents were thinking when they named me...
At least my last name sounds like a nickname, so people no longer call me Krissy, or Kris...only by my last name now. ^ ^

Hmm, my real name is Eden, but I don't like it much xD; (as in.. the garden of Eden). My mother had no religious intention with my name, but her favourite soap star was named Eden xD; And she's obsessed with soap operas so I was stuck with the name.

I go by Mika (though it's not pronounced as the Japanese spelling. It really threw my japanese teacher off xD) and I commonly use the name Mikaeden (mih-kay-dehn) when with friends.

Now days though, it's very common for everyone to call me Tetsu (in real life too! yes xD) Which I don't mind at all :3 I've become very fond with my username--and even my real name is catching on a bit now that I work--I'm always hearing it xD; Sometimes I forget it's my name though and forget to answer back xD;

What's your real name? What does it mean, and what's it's significance (if any). Why did your parents name you that? Do you like your name?

My real name is Randi. It means "shield-wolf", or something like that. I love it, even though it's kinda masculine, because it's unique. My parents were going to originally name me either Roxanne or Sentra (since I was almost born in a Nissan Sentra), but I'm glad they picked Randi. 8)


I like my name it’s Amanda. It means beloved one or worthy to be loved. Why I was named that well, I have to tell you my middle name too it’s Lynn. My dad named me after a musical instrument a mandolin, Amanda Lynn.

My real name is Rachel~ I love my real name, I think it's fabulous. It literally means "ewe" meaning female sheep or according to wiki, "innocence and gentility of a rose" and also "lovely". Rachel is the biblical wife of Jacob and mother of Joseph and the 38th most popular name in the united states.

8D great, huh?

Wynna 01-04-2008 09:29 PM

my name is Kalem.

I posted in this thread earlier, thinking what my name meant, but I couldn't really find anything because my name is slightly unique.

So I asked my Mom, and she said she named me after Salem, Massachusetts. But my Dad wouldn't allow that so she simply changed the "S" to a "K".

Miyako 01-05-2008 05:40 AM

My real name is Jerrica~
I think my dad named me that because he read a book & he liked the name...
I like my name because not many other people have it ^^V

x-Snuffy 01-05-2008 05:50 AM

My real name is Laura.
I hate my name. It's far too simple and blan. So for fun I allow my friends to call me Lala, La-chan, other such names. I love my name only because I was named in memory of an aunt I never met. If I could choose a name to be I'd want my name to be Stella.

Irised 01-05-2008 06:47 AM

My real name is Emily. It means "industrious" in Latin. I like to go by Rii, which is short for my Americanized Japanese name (Emirii)

I like my name, but I'm not really used to it... I go by a lot of nicknames, and some don't even sound like Emily (EEEEEE, Em, Emmy, Emzo, Flew [long story]) So when someone calls me Emily, I get a little thrown off XD

St Branny 01-05-2008 06:53 AM

My real name is Brandon

It's old english for Sword and Firey Hill.

But everyone calls me by my old High school nickname Branny

Purple Rocker 07-08-2008 03:13 AM

Mine's Ambra, but people call me Amber for short named after an Amber stone.

Takumi 07-08-2008 03:20 AM

o_o; My real name is Takumi because my mother is fond of names with T's in them, I have a feeling she randomly chose it, though. So there's not really anything interesting to tell about it.
[/boring]

LivingIsSuicide 07-08-2008 04:13 AM

My real name is Rose. I think it's pretty much a given what my name means. My mom was gonna name me Roxanne when I was born, but my aunt changed it to Rosanna at the last minute. Thank God. I just don't see myself as a "Roxanne". I'm perfectly happy with "Rose". :3

Ariadne the Innocent 07-08-2008 05:36 AM

My name is Holly. >.>
I was named after a stupid Christmas plant. Don't get me wrong, I like the look of the plant, but I hate the sound of the name and I am not fond of the holiday.
Good heavens do I get so much crap around the holidays because of it. I mean, it was funny at first, but it gets hella annoyinghearing it every year. >.<

Sakura 07-08-2008 02:38 PM

Rebecca. I HATE IT SO MUCH.
It means 'faithful wife' or some other such bullshit, so I call myself Beki. Which isn't much better to be honest.

I wanted to be called Alastor when I was about seven D:

Fem_chan 07-08-2008 03:34 PM

Femke.
It's a super-common name where I come from, even though it has Dutch origins. It means 'girl', 'small lady', lil' woman'...'Fem', from 'woman' (obviously) and 'ke' as the 'extra', as having the 'y' after an English name (a lot of Belgian girls have names ending on the 'ke', like: Silke, Wiske, Anke, Maaike, Elke,...etc...). I don't know the correct term for such a thing.

Anyway...hence the '-chan':
which comes from the dialect version of my name ('Femtjen'), made easy to pronounce/read for outsiders.

My parents weren't very creative at the time O________________^

Angel Naomi 07-08-2008 03:40 PM

Kathryn Marie :3 My parents have just always wanted to name their kids Kathryn and Elisabeth (my sister) and our middle names are from our family (Beth's middle name is Carole). We're queens >D lawl

sammi724 07-08-2008 04:49 PM

My real name is Samantha or Sammi for short. In Aramaic, it means She who listens (which is very true. I'm a good listener).

Nissa 07-08-2008 05:21 PM

My name is Nissa (pronounced like Lisa). It means 'friendly elf or brownie'.

MiserableDisease 07-08-2008 06:20 PM

My real name is nicole. =]

But people call me nikki!

And I wish my name was leeah instead... <3

EllipticalHorizons 07-08-2008 10:41 PM

Je m'appelle Amy. It's very common, and very plain, but it's also very me.

exploding_toast 07-08-2008 11:28 PM

yeah, i like my name!!!! ^.^

rockin904 07-09-2008 12:10 AM

My real name is Benjamin. Everyone calls me Ben for short. The doctor who delivered me into this world gave me this name.

Sun 07-09-2008 09:02 AM

My name is Marion, Maz for short. I'm lead to believe it's Hebrew for 'Sea of bitterness.'
I certainly wasn't named for the meaning. It was my dad's, mothers name, and he insisted on it for me.
I was never very fond of it, and i hate telling people my name even now, but i like it because i'm the only one around.

~~xXEl3KtRaXx~~ 07-09-2008 09:17 AM

LekLek's real Name is "Chey"
It's Irish Gaelic and it means "admirable" or "hawk-like" "Fairy Place" "graceful, free, courageous" "Majestic" "Fairy Palace"

I was named Chey because my parents wanted something different to name their only girl.

Yes I do like my name because my friends had lengthened it to Cheylene for fun oneday ^__^
