How much effect has your first name ( the name meaning )had on your life ?

my first name wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so close to my sisters first name. mine is Lynn and hers is Zellynn , our family aunts uncles cousins etc. hate her first name so the insisted on calling us both Lynn and to make it worse she was big Lynn and i was baby Lynn or lynnsue they would add my middle name and blend it like it was one word. friends would tease me when they heard it ....... so moms and dads and moms and dads to be...... give your children names that aren't like they're older siblings, and give names that they can live with.

How much effect has your first name ( the name meaning )had on your life ?
I found two meanings for my name 'victory' and 'versatile in inspirations' and they both fit my life and personality to a T.
Reply:nothing at all my name amy but wish it was just different
Reply:My name is Mary which apparently means "sea of bitterness," and it is very true to my character. It's not that I'm a hothead, but I am somewhat pessimistic and things that don't make other people angry (like poverty, injustice) make me as angry as if it had happened to me.
Reply:In my country, it's very important to name the babies. So all of the parents want to get the best name for their child. The meanings of those names often are : rich, lucky, decent, delicate... But some of the names are nonsense. Anyway, my (real)name means Snow. And I have got a porcelain skin (!) ;)
Reply:special and it was meant for a reason
Reply:Suprisingly alot...I have a popular 80's name and apparently half of the pregnant population in '86 named their daughter's the same as my mother. People have an image of what an "Ashley" should look like and I get "You don't LOOK like an Ashley." all the time...Can't tell if that's good or bad but it gets irritating either way.
Reply:I am a very cheerful happy outgoing loud hyper kind active loving person, I'm always in a goodmood , ( except for about 30 mins after I wake up) lol! I didn't learn the meaning of my name till 2 years ago ( happy and cheerful ) and I've always been this way, so call it what you will, say that the reason i'm like the way I am is because of my name or call it a conicendence, ....lol
Reply:Mines has had alot Mine sis Arabic.(Aleemah) but im not islamic or anything like that. But it means one whose has knowledge and most comparable. I always seem to keep it in mind because when people look at me they set high standards for me as well as me setting high standards for myself
Reply:none! It's just a name!
Reply:well,it has some serious effect...because your first name will be your identity..
Reply:effect none really


its not a nice first name there was a song the kids used to sing to make fun of me


but i never really let it bother me
Reply:My name was chosen because of its meaning. My name is Desiree and it means "desired". My mother tried to have a child for years and had nearly given up hope after years of trying and several early miscarriages. When she became pregnant with me, she was thrilled, but very scared that she might have another miscarriage. She went to hospital very often because of early labour and the doctors were afraid that this could be a sign that the baby was disabled. My mother had to keep bed rest for several months to avoid a preterm birth.


My parents had spoken of names a lot, but hadn't decided for a name before I was born. My mother told me that when the doctor handed me to her and told her "you have a healthy girl" she knew for sure that my name had to be Desiree.





I think the name had a huge effect on my live. No matter what happened later in my life or how hard the times were, I had the knowledge that my birth was a dream come true for my family. I have had hard times in my life and there were times when everything seemed to go wrong. But I never considered my life not worth living. I kind of thought that I owed it to my mother to never loose hope that I could reach my goals and live a happy life, because she fought so hard to give me this life.
Reply:to be honest, it hasnt really affected me much, but my name is spelled Eva and pronounced Ay-va (long story and reason behind it) so everyone misspronounces and that gets annoying, plus everyone says i look like an Eva and they cant see me with a different name.
