Re: Names and Identity

I, too, have a name that's been on the top charts for the past several decades (even better, it's unisex, so I can share my name with an even bigger variety of people!) , and I completely understand how you feel. I have a nickname, but I don't hate it, I actually prefer it.

My family doesn't use my nickname, though. I very distinctly remember one time my mother calling my name, and me completely failing to respond to her. I heard her, but in my head, she wasn't calling for me, she was calling for a classmate, a coworker, some random stranger. She called me again and then I remembered I was the only one in the house with the name. It was still weird, like I had given up my claim to the name. Ever since then, I've felt kind of uncomfortable being called by my actual name.
