A Name Survrey

Do you like or hate your name and why?

Edit: My name is Adriana. When I was younger I wanted a middle name because my older sisters have one but now I come to think, what is there a good middle name for Adriana. I really didn't have an opinion about it till recently. I think it's a nice name only if I didn't know 5 other Adrianas already. But I think it's pretty neat name because it is ethnically ambigious name and no has mispronounced it even though some people say it differently. And it doesn't hurt that 2 of the hottest supermodels have it. (Adriana Lima and Adriana Sklenarikova/Karembeu)

No. It's always been Annika. Sometimes "Nika".

After years of teachers, friends, peers, counselors, cousins, etc etc saying my name. As long as it never bothers anyone to ask about it or have me spell it for them, it never bothers me to spell it or pronounce it for them.

My parents picked it because my dad has Swedish ancestry and had a cousin named Annika who lived in Sweden when I was born. He also loved the name Siev, which is a girls name in Sweden as well.

Oh, I didn't realize it was Swedish! Learn something new everyday. The little girl's father has a British accent, so I falsely assumed it was a British/English name.
