Help[Opinions] Thanks, and as for being immature for not liking my name
in reply to a message by RoxStar
I like my name fine. It's a total pain in the ass in the professional world. Period. I'd be on the phone trying to order toilet paper for my work, and the woman would want to know what my name meant. I'd have to spell both my names every time I was at work. It was a royal pain in the rear. It's not that horrible of a name, and now I do appreciate it - but I will never, ever use it again professionally.

I'm not crazy about my name either
And I won't have anybody call me immature for it. It's tacky, for one thing. And over the phone, nine times out of ten it's misheard as Darla or even Carla. And while Roxanne is long-established and has a nice meaning, in my case it's after the prostitute in the Police song.

Parents.
My sister has a bad name as well - Jessica Sue. She now lies about her middle name and I don't blame her.
What I do love doing is informing people of my siblings' names. They'll get all excited, wondering what the name is. And I'll remark: Ben, Chris, and Jessica. The look on their face is always priceless. Always.

it's mostly relative, isn't it?
I mean, Jessica might hate her name and probably hates that every time she turns around she runs into another Jessica, but to my mind Jessica is a beautiful name. And everybody knows she's female, everybody can spell and say it, and it's hard to make stupid jokes about it, unless you want to try for Jessica Rabbit and that's about twenty years out of date. Sue isn't my style but again, same as with Jessica. And at least she wasn't named after a fictional hooker. lol

Jessica Sue as a whole name is what I mean
It's an incredibly country-bumpkin name, and she's anything but country-bumpkin. I used to call her Jessie Sue as a kid, just to harass her.
And yah you're right. Your name is a lot worse. Jessica is a classy, if popular name, and she'll be dropping the Sue pretty quick.

you think that's bad?
I knew a girl once called Kitty Sue. As far as I know that was her whole name.
I have a friend named Dawn Lynn (lastname) whose mother had wanted to call her Kim Sue. She was talked out of it on the grounds that it sounded Oriental and they were a hundred percent white Okie. lol The funny thing was that with their last name, Kim Sue would have sounded like a Korean massage parlor.
