I have never disliked my name, but certainly have become fond of other names. Some my kids have and some they don't. Pushing for the grand kids, but I doubt it will happen.
Corwin, Justice, and Blade are my top 3. The latter 2 are potentially names that would be easy to be picked on about, so maybe pragmatically they are not good picks.
I changed it when I moved out on my own and didn't want to be contacted. My first name given at birth is very uncommon (named after a national park) and I love it, but I dropped it and started going by my very common, easy to not be found middle name.
Say my name and you know I was born in the 50's.... Haha. I love my middle name, Alison, and sometimes my hubby calls me by my first and middle name together, which I like.
I should have gone by my middle name many moons ago! Oh well.
My parents named me one thing, took me home and decided to tweak my name by adding an A to the end of it. No big deal right? Except legally they never changed it, so they called me one name, but my birth certificate has a different name on it without the a at the end and broken up between first and middle name.
Once I was married I changed my first name to the name I had been using all of my life, and I took my husband's last name. I thought everything was A-OK until I moved to a real ID state where my birth certificate and my marriage license names do not match they won't issue me a driver's license until I can show documentation proving I legally changed my name, which I can't do.
It's a major catch-22 and we're still trying to sort it all out, but I just want my name to legally be what I've been going by since I was three days old, with an a at the end and no middle name!
