Do you like the Christian or first names your parents gave you?

I like my middle name but I don’t like my first name.

Not disrespectful to tell parents you don’t like your name. It’s just an opinion and we should be able to to have different opinions than our parents

Yes I do like my Christian first an middle name. I find it suits my character and personality.

There is one person in my family that I was named after and given that middle name.

All in all, I am fully satisfied and I could have been hit much harder with a name like "North, South, East or West" as it seems to be fashionable nowadays.

My first name is the name of my paternal grandfather and my middle name is the name of my maternal grandfather. I have always liked both names, and now that my parents and grandparents are all gone, I like them even more. (Both names are very traditional). In fact, as I get older, I find myself using the shortened version of my first name less and opting for the full name. (For some reasons, Americans have a compulsion for shortening names.)

Neither my first nor my middle names are ones that I would have chosen for myself - but I've had 71 years to get used to them. My mother didn't have a middle name - but my father had to contend with the middle one of "Moses", after some ancestor. He HATED that! 🤗

Yes I was named after my father and my middle name is my mother's maiden name (it is also a traditional first name), I'm old fashioned I prefer solid old names to "made up" names.

I have the same first name as my father which I always thought wasn't the best idea.
When I was growing up dad was 'Big Ken' and I was 'Little Ken'.

I like my given names alright. My first name is difficult for people to say so I go by a shortened name. I don't think it's necessarily disrespectful to parents to not like one's name but it could hurt their feelings if they put a lot of thought and meaning into it.

I love my names. My middle name is the female version of one of my grandad's names.

i didn't like mine because it was not heard of often. but now i like it. my dad named us.

Yes I do like my name and middle name, I was named after my grandmother 👵🏻

nope, i have already picked a new one, just not being accepted fully

I like mine. I was named after my father's best friend who was a fighter pilot in World War II. I don't think it is disrespectful to drop a name you don't like. My grandfather's first name was "Oscar," and he totally dropped it, not even using the initial.

I was given a traditional name and changed it legally to sound more English. I like my given name and still use it in ceremony but it wasn't worth the questions and explanations outside of that.

Not especially. My first given name was very popular at the time, I never understood why. My middle name is my father's first given name which is both a traditional name and a fairly common traditional practice in the UK

I was supposed to be named Thomas but my mom had a last minute change of heart , so now I’m Mark.

I luv my first name and my middle name was my paternal grandmother's first name.

I kissed him upside the cranium with that aluminum baseball bat, My Name Is Mud

I like my middle name not my first name

Yah it will do
