Are you happy with your name? Why or why not? Too common? Too odd? Were you teased? I''m starting to think about names for the Cub, so I''m interested in peoples'' experiences.

Does anyone remember cutting records off cereal boxes??
''Julie, Julie, Julie, do you care?'' Good song! I never knew it was distributed on cereal boxes, though. Cool.Date: 7/7/2008 8:47:28 AM

Warning: about to age myself.
I went by Julie most of my school life, but met dh with Julia. I enjoyed the days when Bobby Sherman came out with his cereal box hit, ''Julie, Julie, Julie do ya love me?'' Does anyone remember cutting records off cereal boxes??

I HATED my name growing up (being named Robin will get you LOTS of bird jokes). I always used to wish that my middle name (Kimberly) was my first name, but now I kind of like having a name that''s not too common.
ETA: I get lots of junk mail addressed to ''Mr. Robin.'' It''s weird to me because I''ve never actually met a man named Robin, but I guess the rest of the world thinks spelling it with an ''i'' makes it masculine.

Also - have you read Freakenomics? There''s a really interesting chapter in there about what people name their children and the relationship that it will have with their future.
I know a Robin whose fiance''s last name is Fish. She''s going to be Robin Fish, LOL.Date: 7/7/2008 11:40:39 AM

But for the bird jokes I got them more because my last name in another language means fricken BIRD!
What the Hell???? My parents were trying to sabotage me from birth! lol...
