Eh. I wouldn't change it, but I didn't have any say in what my name would be, so I'm not sure how I could be proud of it either.

Negative. Basic white girl name

No. My paternal grandfather was born out of wedlock and his mother was forced to give him up for adoption. The surname I've inherited comes from his adoptive parents so I don't consider it to be my "real" surname. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any record of his birth father's name, only his mother, so the 1/8 of my family tree that my surname should come from is a mystery. Even if I knew my true surname, I still don't think I'd be proud of it, though; it's just a name.

Wasn’t .... until my husband wanted me to take his name ... and then I was like “hell no, I suffered with this name for 30 years I ain’t giving up now.”

Passionatley indifferent.

It is what it is

I like the first and last. The middle kind of irritates me. I mean not so much that I'm marching down to the courthouse to change it but still

I don't know if it suits my essence but it's very stately so I like it.

Your name is just a name.. you create the honour of it

My name as in Trish? I didn't choose it. It just is. There are worse names. Short for Patricia. Named after Patrick, my father who was 17 and never returned and my grand uncle who died at 21 and didn't return. I met neither of these men.
