i didn't like my first name at, ugh, first, coz i believed it was too formal (which is why i always go by my nickname, which is just my initials) and my surname too, coz it sounds too ethnic.. but when people whose mother tongue is the english language say it (they pronounce it 2 different ways, depending on which syllable is stressed), it doesn't sound so ethnic anymore, it's quite different.. so i kinda like it now..

the only thing i don't like right now is that my mother's maiden name is always a part of my (and my siblings too) name... it's a cultural thing.. and my mom would probably kill me if i drop it legally..
