What name are you glad you were not given by your parents?

Bangkok. My parents named me after a city and luckily chose the city they met in which wasn't that.

@SW-User Hey that would have been so00oo cool!!!!

I named my one dog Lucifer and the other is Lycan (as in werewolf).

I love "dark" names.

@AmbivalentFriability He also wanted to name my brother Atlas. And he wanted to name my sister Cindy because Cindy Crawford is his favourite model 😑

@iMystery I ended up with a completely different name, haha.

In my culture and language idk why but people are given names of everyday objects sometimes. E.g. telephone, towel, door, etc. So I'm glad I just got something pretty normal that translates to a normal English name. Less hassle when introducing myself. Lol.

@5thApprentice Lol in South Africa where I live I see that quite often too... especially in my job...

I have seen names like Bloodshed, Loverboy, a guy NAMED Daddy, ENOUGHSAID, Goodenough, Lovey...

Cant think of the others right now lol.

Ha ha @iMystery
When I'm bluer than blue, I think, it could be worse. I could have been named Frederika.
@iMystery Down in the dumps. Sad. Blue. Like the song "blue on blue, headtache on heartache, it seems I can't get over losing you." Like that, only bluer.

@Mamapolo2016 Wow that sounds depressing!
@iMystery Not so much. I'm too shallow for long depressions, and thinking I could have been named Frederika always makes me chuckle.
