i like my name i just wish my parents liked it lol
Both my parent are foreign and i have a foreign surname. for the longest time i felt embarrassed that my name was so different. people would pronounce my name wrong on purpose and make joke about how different it was. i felt really self conscious for being different to the point where i almost started loathing being the child immigrants. i feel differently today and i wouldn't change it for anything. clear communication to the people close to me about what i liked and disliked being called really helped.
in a world where so many people strive to fit in and conform to how society expect you to be, having that one quirk that's different about you in my opinion is the coolest thing ever, even if it's just your name.
if you really feel like it bothers you i think simple name changes in the uk are possible at a deed poll office.

haha thats pretty unique! ive come across one or two but always spelt the "right" way
I don’t like my name just because of the sheer amount of people pronouncing it wrong and having to constantly correct them 
I don't like my name. I feel like it's flat and boring. It doesn't feel like a very girly or pretty name to me 😔
I like my name I guess, but it's very common so that's boring

I do like my name and there is uniqueness about it, but at the same time I've started hating it. So many different people call me different things, pronounce it differently that I don't even know what to call myself anymore.
Yes, I had a growing dislike of my name and I ended up changing it legally, as it reminded me of the bullying I received because of it. My reaction may have been extreme, but it made me happier. So, if it really bothers you, change it to something you like.
yes, I name that was easy pronounce. sometimes other Nigerian people laugh at me for pronouncing my name differently so it's easier for other people
