Ask Me Help Desk - My name is B-O-R-I-N-G-!

My name is B-O-R-I-N-G-!

Hey my name is rachael but I hate my name!
:D :D
Its sooo,. ORIGINAL!

Don't you think? They were going to name me destiny but they didn't so now its boring RACHAEL.

Should I change my name?
I was thinking about my middle name "destiny" any ideas? I have brown hair, brown eyes, my favorite color is black, I'm very outgoing and I LOVE to party! I'm very social, and a pretty smile
(I think) LOL

Well if you have any suggestions please tell me!

Another reson I want to change my name is because of my past and all the things people used to say to me, my friends, my dad.

And rachael is B-O-R-I-N-G-!:rolleyes:

You should be lucky your parents named you something sensible. I have heard worse.

I know but I hate it and my friends make fun of it...

They say.. rot-in-hell, raw-heal, and stuff like that. It doesn't bother me I laugh at it but it boring ! Please hepl me

Indeed, last year my english teachers name was Gaye... 0_0
Consider yourself lucky, plus it's very hard to get a "new" name to catch on, unless you move someplace different and tell everyone that's your name. -oh but if you HAVE to change your name, how about Mareena ? I think that's a cool name, destiny's a little TO deep.

Mareena is a pretty name it just not me.. it sounds like a shy blond or red head.. I'm like life of a party.. it's a really pretty name just not me.

I'm like a crazy freak..

Or nicknames r cool too. Like my friends call me chick.

It's just a name, if people judge you based on your name then they are pretty much idiots.

To be a cool kid is to have a wonderful personality.:)

Thanks.. LOL I love your signature!

Joane
Chrystal
Melanie
Rochelle
Rona
Oh! How about RAVEN !
Vannessa is cool

Thanks ultimate! I kind of look like chelsea, vanessa, I'm kind of punk any for that?

My name is Dan, do you really think that's an original name?
Who cares if it's original or not, be proud of your name.

It could be worse, you could have one of the celebrities babies names.
Now THAT would suck.

You also have to question if these "friends" of yours that make fun of your name are really friends.
A real friend doesn't bag on someone's name that they are friends with.

You I know! Lol. Like someone named their baby apple.. well that's kind of cute. Its unusual that's why it so cute!

Yeah, but think about it, when that poor kid is 25 that name more than likely won't seem cute to them, lol

Yeah that's true..
Hehe.

Well I guess I can always have my nickname.. they call me chick..

So when new kids come to school my friends introduce me as chick..

Well my name is rachel and no one ever called me names like that growing up.

Lucky! LOL! You well all my friends call me chick so lets go with that. Hehe...

Love the name rachael.

And I've never dated a woman I liked and thought "man, shed be so much hotter if her name was _________"

I go off a variation of my name, as mine is typically seen as a girls name. Friend goes off a more distant variation on hers. Not uncommon to pick a nick and run with it.

Id say don't stress about it too much.

Besides, I've always thought the few girls I knew named rachael, and there were only two, were cute as hell and interesting. But then it had nothing to do with their name...

You could always make rachel more fun, try shelly, rach, elle something you know

Just make cute little add ons or take off's

I think your name is beautiful. You make your name, it doesn't make you. ;)

LOL - I was almost named Raven... which would have been a little strange on a blonde.

I know since I had a friend named Raven... who was blonde. :D

I love the name Rachel I think it's a very pretty and sophisticated name. Of course its no fun for a teenager but go with a fun nickname and go from there. My name is Rebekah and when I was in high school everyone would call me "B" which I liked MUCH better.

If chick is your nickname then go with that - I think that's a cool nickname

Why they called you "B"?
Not "G"?:D

Rachael is a very beautiful name. I guess that's why I named my daughter that :D . Although hers is spelled quite differently. She goes by Rae though, pronounced Ray.

At least your parents didn't name you something like Moon Unit or Dweezle :eek: .

Rachael translated in Chinese can mean " gorgerous autumn".:)

RACHAEL!! NO ONe likes their name when they are your age!! We all think our names suck. I know I did. DESTINY? UMM NO! That is more like a stage name. NO offense to anyone. But if your name isn't already Destiny, than it isn't supposed to be. Why do you dislike yourself so much? I know you said you are outgoing, have a pretty smile and you have mentioned a few good qualities, so you know you aren't a terrible person.
Now, the fact that your name is a terrible reminder is another story. I think you should keep your name, as a reminder of how strong you are in the face is such struggle and adversity. Maybe use a nickname, Just Rae. That is cute and so are you. Whatever people say to bring you down, only works if you let it. Do not allow other people to control the way you feel or how you think about yourself. You have the power, don't give it away to others. I wish I could take care of you myself. You seem like such a beautiful young girl. My daughter just turned eleven and she doesn't have the life experience that you have had, but look what it has brought out of you. You have the ability and the gift of writing, acting and being very social. Be proud of all of that, stop thinking you have to change. YOu just need to change who you spend your time with and who you allow to bring you down. IT is hard to let go of negative people when they have a hold on you, but you have to tell yourself good things about you, EVERY TIME you look in the mirror. I can and will remind you to do that.
Whenever I was fighting with a friend or feeling bad about myself, my dad would make me sit down and write ten things that I like about myself. Maybe you should start a list for yourself. OK RAE??

Hehe. You you guys are right!~ maybe I should stick with my name.

Iuts rfeally funny because everyone has a different nickname for me so I will usually look at any name.. hehe I'm used to chick, rachi, rach, oh and my worst... rachi-poo.. unno like winnie the poo? You ahhh! I hate it but all the teachers call me it.
Ugh. LOL you but thanks for the advice!

Okay thanks. You people call me rea too. And I'm not saying rachael iz a bad name but after like having it for so long it gets annoying.. and your right, girls at my age do get anoyed of their names..

I love my name I went through a phase where I was like OMG krista what a gay name! But now I love it there are worse names out there. BTW I have never in my life meet a rachel who wasn't nice or good looking.. oh and do you asy your name like rA-ch-elle because you could pronounce your name different to if you don't like it more french like rO-ch-elle

Chloe, Roxy, Liesl (eh more preppy but I like it), Jules, I can probably think of more. My favorites though are Roxy and Chloe.

Hey winnie the pooh is amazing!! I'm from winnipeg MB and that's where winnie the poos name came from oh and so did the solder that found the bear( that later went into a zoo and was named whinnie by a little boy -hence the sories and t.v. shows) I love eeyore the best

My boyfriend calls me rachie poo I think it's cute lol. It's your name so deal with it. I didn't always like my name being rachel either but it is and it could be worse. Your name could be worse I met a girl named nausea (pronounced na seea) Just think about being named something like that.

I think the most beautiful name I ever heard was from a girl in my grade 5 class, a beautiful native american girl named rain sky. Kind of sounds nice don't it! Worst name I've ever heard it, ana ,because its so boring

There's this girl with the name Cupcake.. if you think your name is bad.. try imagining having her name!

OoOoOo

O_O

LOL! When I was little I used to watch winnie the poo all the time! Haha..

I love eeyore! And tigger.. but I love eeyore!

I think candy would be a bad name that's a stripper name lol no offence to anyone with that name. I have so much eeyore stuff! Lol 2 plushies, a bobble head like 5 posters lol I'm crazy! I had an extange student from holland once and apparently in hollend on the winnie the poo show there, eeyore isn't as depressed on the american/canadian version lol

my mom's name was Candi.. it wasn't that bad lol

Your lucky I was named Ginger that's not that bad but then I was given a last name of short ginger short that's a horrible name I want to change it I can't wait till I get maried its nice to have a normal name not very many things they can say bad about it

I say your name should be kitt or jessica. Or jess.

I think you should seriously think about this before you act on it... its Your name... it may be boring but its yours!! Your parents named you it for a reason... you also should think about whether those people that make fun of your name are really your friends and if they are only making fun of it because you tell them its boring? Changing your name is a big step and probably would be really hard to achieve successfully because everyone will still remember you as rachel...
