I wonder how many US babies have been named Donald in the last few years and may live to regret it. (lemmy.world)

Why do you hate your first name?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

It's just an ugly name, too ethnic for my liking too. Nobody ever pronounces it properly, or I'm constantly correcting or spelling out my name. It's a pain in the ass. My middle name has the exact same issue.

I just wish I had a neutral and easy name if not a cool one. I made it a point to give my kid a good name because of it. I was named after parent's relatives who I never knew. I just hate my name.
