I know some people are going to think this thread and poll are lame, but I've always been genuinely curious about names. I used to spend hours at a time researching names on baby websites, just so I could discover new/unique names from all different cultures and countries. So, I'm curious about my fellow MDSers: what is your first name? Why do you like, or dislike, your name? Were you named after someone? Do you think your first name fits your personality/who you are as an adult? And what is/are your favourite nickname(s) derived from your name? What are some of your favourite names (same and/or other sex)? Feel free to answer all, none, or some of the questions... but at least vote in the poll if you don't want to discuss. :) Here are my answers:
Name: Emily!
Like/Dislike?: I don't particularly like my name. To me, it's very plain, and there were always multiple "Emily's" in my classes. A lot of people think it's a very classic name, but I would've liked a prettier name.
Named After Someone?: Nope.
Name Fits Personality?: I just don't see myself as an "Emily." I think of an "Emily" as a classy/sophisticated name, and I am neither of those things. :lol:
Fave Nicknames: Emmy, Emster, M&M, Eminemily.
Fave Names: Daisy, Angela, Veronica, Theresa. Max, Brandon.
