[quote=Anonymous]I can’t stand my first name. It’s constantly referred to as a Basic B name (think Brittany, Courtney, Tiffany). I’ve wanted a nickname and wished I had a classic name my entire life. I’ve been told numerous times that my name doesn’t fit me.

Because of my strong hatred towards my own first name, dh and I struggled to name our first child. She went without a name for nearly a month. Tons of crying (lack of sleep and I was postpartum, clearly not rational). In the end I let dh name her since he never once wavered on the name he loved. I can’t stand the name and haven’t ever once called dd by it. She goes by a nickname that I sort of love. I debated divorcing Dh over this. I know it sounds silly but the name meant a lot to me and I hate dds name. We’d thought the baby would be a boy and had a boy name picked out. My #1 name that I’d always wanted was his cousins name and family told me I was selfish if I named my child that.

I love my 2nd and 3rd daughters’ names, everyone does. It’s cathartic to me that I love their names so much after what happened with my first. Dd1 actually doesn’t like her given name since it’s so common. [/quote]
