The name of the game



We can say that names are our first calling cards. When we come across a name or mention it, we make assumptions about the person - physically, socially, mentally speaking. 

So would you be able to tell us 

How you got your name
If you like how your name sounds
If you pronounce words incorrectly
if people mispronounce your name
Why people sometimes forget your name
If you
change your name?

Someone who poked fun at your name?

People sometimes give names of a member of the family - a great grandparent for example - to show respect for that person, in the form of a homage.

Others come up with the weirdest names: a combination of two names, an adaptation of a name in another language

How common is it to have a middle name?
When do people use their full names?
Was there a name you wanted to be called by when you were a child?
Are there any other funny stories concerning names that you might have heard of? 
What are the most common female/male names in English?
Here is a list of some names



And here are the girls from Destiny's child saying they want to hear names
