What is YOUR name?

Do you like it?

Have you ever wished you had a different name?  What was it?

Melinda.

Hated it when I was young because everyone around me had more common names. I remember telling my Mom that when I turned 18 I was going to change it to Mindy.

As an adult I love it and dislike when it is shortened to Mel or Linda. I think I like the way it came to be as I was supposed to be Winifred and Mom threw down the veto shortly after having me. She then took her name and my dads name and picked letters from each until she came up with Melinda.
