I've been considering changing my name. Right now, it's Jayden Nicholas. But, I was thinking of changing it to Nicholas James. The only problem I can foresee is people calling me Nicky... which I really wouldn't like. I probably would like Jamie though. Yes, I think I'll do that.

You know, you get to ask people to call you only certain things. :)

I know, but people take certain liberties. I'll just have to make sure I push the "don't call me Nicky, that's a no-no" rule.

Say it, and then just don't respond to it. That's how I trained people.

I plan to do that when I finally do change it. Of course, that'll probably cause internal family issues. Mainly because I'm not out to any of them.

Yeah but it doesn't work always. I have to often remind people (including the same people) that my name is never Joseph.

Joseph doesn't seem to fit you.

so which number name is this for ya? *grins* I heard another guy say on average we go through 5-7 names before we settle.

I'm keeping my first and last names, but changing the middle (posted on a recent entry) and the spelling of the first.

Well, it's probably the fourth. I've actually decided that I didn't want my original last name (my father's) because of the frustration it's brought over the years (people tend not to pronounce it right and it doesn't fit). I've also opted not to take my mother's last name... 'cause her family's crazy.

lol nice. ok, so ya got 1-3 left dood, use 'em wisely *grins*

Probably not. I've been going by Jayden (I changed the spelling, the "e" was awkward) for about 5 years now. It's comfortable, but I don't really think that's the name I seriously want.
