We named our daughter Jennifer. We call her a lot of things, Jen, Jenny, Jenbodine. I had wanted the name Genevieve or Jenna but we compromised on Jennifer.
She hasn't said {very often} that she doesn't like her name, but, she also goes by the name of Syd.
Me? My name is simple but different from my other siblings. My sister 'Janet' would have been 'Janette' if my mom had known better English. Other wise, the names are pretty simple.
I always asked why I was named Joyce and feel badly about it because my mom said my dad named me. But, I never thought of changing it. I did have an 'alter ego' type name, one that I liked, even before The Police {yikes, actually cut back on using it after....}....Roxeanne. Roxeanne De La Tour. {where that end came from, I don't know....}
My last name, lots of jokes about it. My married last name? Lots of comments about it, too.
