Do you hate your name? - Nubblies.net Forums

Tig 'ol Bitties · 12-01-2003, 01:50 PM

My middle and last names are fairly vanilla so I wont share them with you. But my first name, Isaiah is a curse. Firstly nobody can spell it correctly. Almost every piece of mail I get has a different incorrect spelling. Second, being a biblical name every goddamn christian store clerk that sees it on a credit card immediatly begins to ask me about my love for jesus. Before I can even remember I was dubbed Ike. Not the worst nickname ever but I cant see that coming from Isaiah. That damn kibbles and bits dog from awhile ago ruined that nickname for me.

Explain why you hate/love your name.

I'm named after a fucking city. A FUCKING CITY. I'm not a person, I'm a place. Why in the name of fuck would you bestow a title upon a child which is a city? I sure as hell don't know, it's nothing that I would ever do. Either way, I've learned to live with it. Also, it's nothing that bothers me too much. I don't hate it unless I think about it...which is only right now.

If I was a small, black male, my middle name would be alright...but I'm not. With that in mind, it should belong to a girl. That's all I'll say about that.

My first name? I have no qualms with it at all. In fact, it's the past tense version of a verb that I have been known for my whole life to do really well, so I actually think it's pretty damn cool. The only thing I hate is when people as if my "real" name is another, longer version of this name. NO. Fuck that name, I hate that name. And then people make stupid-ass continuous rhyming stories with the two names, fucking morons.

My middle name? I like it. Too bad any time I tell it to anyone they decide to pronounce it wrong, like a French faggot. It's German you fuck-faces.

My last name? I guarantee you don't know how to spell it. You'll put too many t's in it at the very least. Oh and pronouncing it? Good luck. I get everything from "Estrogen" to "ATM" to "Auntie Em". Fucking hell. Telemarketers call and ask for "Mr. Anteninny" and I say, "Sorry, you've got the wrong number." The only cool thing about my last name is that is comes from one of the cultures I am of and means in that language, "Steven". My middle name also comes from a culture I am of, and in that language means "Steven". And so, if my first name were the Irish word for "Steven" my name would be Steven Steven Steven.

I can.

I, as some of you know, am actually planning on changing my last name sometime in the near future. I have no real ties to current last name and I really don't like it. It sounds like shit and people always read it wrong. Everyone thinks I'm amish for some God damn reason.

Alpha · 12-01-2003, 07:31 PM

My first name is retarded seeing my dad can't spell right. My last name also is a bitch, I was thinking about changing it to Pliedes.

Ugly Bastard · 12-01-2003, 09:37 PM

I like my name. Not necessarily the last name, but I have no qualms with the first.

Here's the real question, if you had to change your name, what would you change it to? Me: [I'd keep the first name] Brackens. I like it, not sure why.

Titan · 12-01-2003, 10:13 PM

I'd change my first name to Steafán (Irish for Steven).

fancymeghan · 12-01-2003, 10:24 PM

i like my name a lot really...i just hate the people spell the first part wrong all the time...it's really not that hard...just an h.

my last name rocks. i just hate it when people refer to me as an alcoholic beverage (bacardi) or that i'm gassy (farty). other than that, i'd like to have my last name as my first. well, probably not, but it is hip.

the end.

Combat Chuck · 12-01-2003, 11:49 PM

I'm actually a fan of my name. Only not when people call me by nicknames the likes of which make my blood boil. Like....the doll's name. Fuck that fucking doll. Even if the doll's name hadn't been that fucking name, I would still hate it like I hate people scratching my face.

But there are a bushel of nicknames that I am quite frequently referred as, and I love them. And my actual name, well, it exudes a....royal type feeling. And no, not a royal scandal type feeling. It's just a great name.

Anyway, my middle name is pretty unique. I like it.

My last name.....well, it's unique as well. Except, along with Tit, I can't get a living soul who doesn't know me to understand that it is unique, thus, it is spelled in a unique way. Don't put that "n" in there shitface, or I'll blow a gasket on your ass.

Anyway, that's my name, and that's the strong feelings I have towards it.

Fruitacious B · 12-02-2003, 12:16 AM

Yeah, I don't need to say much. Fruit, fuckingshitdamnfuckass Fruit. The rest is fine.

I believe that I probably have one of the worst last names that could EVER be given to someone. If you've ever called someone gay, a fag, a pole smoker, cockgobbler, homosexual, or anything of the nature, it is all synonomous with my last name. I have, however, over my brief time on this earth, come to terms with this curse, and those that choose to make fun of it are wasting their time. There's almost no name I haven't been called in relation to my last name.

sim_flex_x · 12-02-2003, 12:22 AM

I don't mind my name, it gave rise to a nickname that I'm pretty fond of. The only thing that I dislike about all three parts of my name is that no one ever spells them right. H? no h?; ea? ee?; an? on? ond?
my relatives still don't know if there's an h on the end of my first name. maybe someday they'll figure it out.

I always thought my first name sounded funny to say, but now that I have a friend with the same name (spelled differently), I'm starting to get used to it

I don't know what my parents were thinking.

They gave me a somewhat common name... that's ok... but they more or less made up the motherfucking spelling of it. They say they merged together the names of a couple of my uncles... that's bullshit. So, I'm left with a bizarre quasi-phonetic spelling of a first name that nobody EVER gets right off the back. (Interestingly though, the name is shared by an ancient persian gold coin, and was ripped off and used by the old ISTEP memory tests as the imaginary word for gold coin... damn standardized testing) Then, making it worse, the only people I know with the same name (each one with different spellings of course)
are all stupid jackasses, and when I get stuck having classes with them, I seem to lose all rights to my name because they never shut the fuck up. I'll hear my name, and know nobody is talking to me... fuckers.

As for my middle name, in stark contrast to my first... it's highly unoriginal.

Allen.

It's my dad's middle name. It's his dad's middle name. It just so happens to be my next door neighbor's fucking middle name. Yeah. I still actually like it though, and I tempted to start using it in the future.

Then, my last name encapsulates both by being somewhat common, but having all sorts of different (wrong) ways of spelling it. Like with an "i", or with "ch", or with a "ie"... IT'S A "Y", DAMN IT.

Erm... yeah.

Pliedes · 12-02-2003, 02:14 AM

My name isn't bad. I'm generally a fan of it.

Only on one occasion has my name not been in it's best spirits. At one point, one of my best friends who first name is the same as my middle name, was dating a guy (yes he's gay) who shares the same first name as me. It was a little tough as names would just get confused all over.

Still, my name rocks. I even have someone named after me (and he's a cool guy), so it all works out.
