me and my daughter were having a discussion about names .she said she hates her name lauren even though it took me a long time to think of it.do you like your name and would you change it if you could .what is your favourite name?xxxxxxxx(:

Lauren's a lovely name, it was one on our shortlist when Sharon was pregnant. I don't really like my name - too boring, can't shorten it etc.

I dont like my name never have. would like to be beth, I think Bridget sounds harsh.

paul she looks like a lauren as well.lovely blue eyes skin like porceline.and she is a very polite and lovely girlxxxxx(:

I have always hated my name and the joke is I have always been called Lindy. My sister changed her name legally when she turned twenty one. I could not do that as I think it would have hurt my parents. Lindy;-)

I thought everyone hated their own name! Mine's too plain but that was why Mum chose it - so it couldn't be shortened. My sister was Suan but always Sue and my brother's Alan but always Al. I am just plain Jane! Jane

i do actually like my name.and my second name which just happens to be yours janexxxx(:

I like mine but hated it at school as everyone called me DIANE!!

I like my name, and my second favourite is my Mum's name: Dorine; and my third favourite is Frances. :-) Joy

No, Paul can't be shortened but you could say Paolo instead which, with an Italian accent, can sound rather sexy!!! :-) Joy

I've never really liked my name, especially when people mistakenly called me Gladys (sorry any Gladys' out there). I'd love to have been a Beth, or Bethany. If either of my miscarried babes had survived and been a girl, I would have named her Bethany. Glenys x

I like my name. have never wanted to be called any other. Thank you mum and dad! Anne

Yes, I've been called Paulo before, and Pablo. I think there's definitely something to manes that you can contract tho, as Steph says, she has a few choices - that was reflected in my/our choice of my sons name Benjamin...
