How comfortable are you with your name?

I was sitting here just now, reading the community, as I do about once a week now. I got to thinking about how do other people feel about their own names. See, I was thinking that because it took me a long, long time to feel comfortable with my own name. My first name is Amy and my middle name is Kay: Amy Kay. People say it's a lovely name, but I find it way too short for my liking. I would love to change the spelling to Amie, but my parents both hate that spelling. So what do you think of your own name? Like it? Hate it? Love it? Would/have change it someday?

I love my name however I've always had issues with people spelling it wrong. At least it's legit and a legit spelling, though. People occasionally call me a longer version in mock-seriousness or ask if it's short for anything, which it isn't. I also feel connected to the people in my family I'm named after.
