I have a very traditional biblical name as some of you may know and i was sad that it was entirely un-nick-namable but I think it suits me and my personality now. My parents almost named me Kirsten and I sometimes wonder if I would be different if they had gone with that… and I LOVE when little old southern ladies say my first name and middle name together especially if they preface it with a Miss.
my last name is actually too unique, hyphenated, and ridiculously long and was embarrassing to me for most of my life but I’ve found peace with that too and wouldn’t change it for anything 🫶

I used to get so embarrassed by my long ass name (I have two middle names and a weird last name) but I think it’s so cool now and so unique??

My name is Christian…. I was raised very a certain type of way… I used to think a little about changing my name, and maybe one day I will again, but I kind of enjoy doing a soft smile “kind of explains a lot, huh”. It’s still my history 🤷🏻‍♂️ and it’s kind of a nice word. Anyway yea I think I’m attached to my name

i have a name that has been fucked with and interpolated a lot (long story). i have had ideas since middle school to change my name to like Harley, use my middle name, or recently during a breakdown something closer to it with easier spelling. it got to the point where my psychiatry appointments are actually done in that fake name and i just chose not to tell them 😂
all this to say, my name has grown on me and i would feel uncomfortable to change it. BUT, i would never want to have my future children experience the annoyance of people mispronouncing their name for the rest of their lives.

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
