I disliked my name somewhat when I was growing up. Mainly just because of the common mispronounciation problem. Now I really really like it. If I were a celebrity, I would only use my first name. That is harder to accomplish in the legal world, it seems.
I have noticed though that it seems more common and accepted for girls to be given unusual names than it is for boys. I'm not sure why this is. I've never dated a guy with a name that was not in the top 50.

My name has been in the top 1000 for the last 15 years, at least, but has never cracked the top 500. Which is why people frequently think I have some other name that kinda sorta sounds similar to it and is much more common. I am happy to go along with that name at Starbucks and Baja Fresh.
