I dislike my first name. I was always one of a million other Amandas, people were always calling me 'a man, duh' like it was the funniest thing they had ever heard. Plus, it really didn't mean anything to my parents. When I asked my mom why they named me Amanda all she said was, "no one liked Megan, which is what I wanted to call you." Now my name feels dated, you'll always be able to tell that I was born in the eighties.
Funny before I knew that my mom wanted to call me Megan, it was what I used to wish my name was. I think I had like 8 dolls that I named that. Then I had a whole procession of names that I wanted.
