Hey ya’ll. I’m sick to death being called by my first (christened,lol) name. It brings up a lot of shitty thinking for me, confusing me to as who I am. It’s not that I feel that the name is bad or anything, but I’m really trying to sort-a fit in with the crowds, but my name makes me feel so "special/unique) that it’s making me sick. I’ve been psychologically examing everything in my head, and it’s just a major throwback been yelled your name (by voices) than just being "normal/good-average person) which is what I tend to lean towards being. Anyone else has this shitty mindfuck? 
yeah brah i fell the same.one will understand soon…
Guess my name, lol.
i am trapper not a rapper…niece rap.homme …
I don’t mind mine to much. I don’t think I’ll ever change it, but I have thought on it before. You can always pick up a legal alias and use that.
If I were to change my name is just pull out the sh and replace it with a z. Azley. Keeping my first name the same.
Then I’d draw up some coat of arms with a lion on it. Yes that is what they used to call me… Bryan the lion.
Ashley was a mans name first. “People of the ash tree clearing” back in England or some ■■■■.
“jesus.” what? “I just…I thought you were a guy” …and then you say:
Azley looks sounds/looks cool though
Lol. Bryan Ashley. I am a guy. That’s the only reason I’d change it. People get confused. Ashley Bryan? Ashley Bryan ??? Used to get that a lot back in college.

I have a given first name and was given a nickname at birth. When I first started working, I told them my nickname for them to call me. Then things started to happen and I believed they were getting too much into me by calling me my nickname; so I went to have them call me my legal first name at subsequent jobs. My late sister really liked my nickname best and even called me a special nickname that she derived. Now, I think it wasn’t such a big hassle, I would legally change my name to my nickname only. I do like it better and do feel it is more me and more in line of who I really am. Yet, there is this nagging fear- If I do that will the verbal abuse begin again other than the daily “stuff” I get from my mother.
I don’t mind my given name, but I love when people give me nicknames though. I especially love when people try to insult me by calling me names, it makes me laugh my ass off!
