The Bible attaches importance to your name, do you like yours. If not, what would you change it to?
I always hated mine, Outaservice Smith. The kids all made fun of me in school. And it was hard to be 'inservice' on Saturday.

Do you like your given name?

love11
Growing up I never liked my name but as I grew up it also grew on me.
I was going to be named Amber. But that week the local zoo had an elephant born that was named Amber and my parents didn't want to be made fun of. I like the 'stone' alot so I think I would like being called that.
But I'm stuck with love11, worthy of love. That will do.

I am known as Jim to most of my friends. My birth name, James, means 'one who supplants or takes the place of another.' So, when I became an anointed JW, I felt a slight justification in that I was one who replaced a unfaithful anointed person. Since my JW days, I like my name as it is, with no special significance. Any significance will be based on how I lived my life, and not on meanings from history of others. - Jim W.
I really love my duaghter's name, Jennifer Lynne Whitney. It is old english, meaning a "White Wave Cascading against a White Island."

IP_SEC: I dont like my nick here. Simon can I change it please?
I changed my nick here shortly after I joined. Simon changed it for me after I sent him a pm and a message under Tech Support.KLS: Was given the name Christine at birth but it was changed by my parents. So i have two birth certificates with two different names
Same thing happened with me. My parents originally named me Barbara Jean. Changed it a few weeks later. I've never seen the original birth certificate but my 2nd one says I'm Denise. And I like my name. Always have. Always will. -Aude. -
