A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Why do you hate your first name?

[โ€“] [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.
