I am hereby changing my name.
I haven’t decided to what yet, but I’m certainly aiming for something a little further down the alphabet.
How about Zacquisha Zanderfloot?
You may be wondering what provoked the sudden desire to change my name, so I will probably tell you. Otherwise, this blog post would be kind of pointless.
I’ve always rather enjoyed my name. It’s unusual and quirky, and so am I! I like how I can turn the “A” in “Aisling,” into a star, and it makes my signature look pretty.
But, I’ve simply had enough of the misfortune this A, combined with the B in my last name, brings to me.
I must get about double the amount of Facebook application requests than the average person.
It’s not just me getting pegged, I’m sure, but most likely everyone with a name in the A to D bracket. Because when people send out applications invites, they don’t search through 200 names to come up with the friends most likely to enjoy the “What will you eat the day that you die and will you have time to digest before your inevitable death?” application (Not sure if it exists, but if it does, I’m sure the results are SCARILY ACCURATE!). They just pick off the first 20 people on their list! And the first 20 people… are the people like me, with names beginning with letters situated near the beginning of the alphabet.
Well, I’ve found a way to trick them, and that is by going through the complicated process of legal name change. WIsh me luck.
Lots of love from,
Zacquisha.
YES YES YES YES YES. I KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT!
*A name sisters*
ROFL, at least you always begin first, right? And you’re top priority being an A :P
Change your name to… Zeeling?
I never fancied having a name at the beginning of the alphabet. They always have such ugly circumstances like:
1. Graduation: You have to attend practice because unlike everyone else, you just can’t copy the person before you because there aren’t any in the first place.
2. Attendance: When your next class is literally all the way across the building, you would be running for your life and when you get to class, you’re all sweaty and you’re late.
I could think of more reason but then I feel somewhat embarrassed because my comment is the longest so far.
PS: You could be Zsazsa Zaturnnah which is actually a local gay-turned-woman superhero character.
Everyone knows that if you are going to change your name it’s the law that you have to change it to Regina Phalange!
Haha, I thought you were going to change your name because of the number of mispronunciations you get. :P I’m sorry, but I still think “Ice-ling” in my head!
My name starts with R and I STILL get a gazillion Facebook applications!
I feel your pain. As of right now, I have… 532 application invites. I ignore them, and they keep coming. My last name starts with a W, but my first name unfortunately happens to be at the top of the list.
You can always just change your name in Facebook :P A new identity, if you will.
Zacquisha is an ugly name :P
With not Zaisling? lol
Having a last name at the end of the alphabet is no fun. The only advantage I have is being able to arrive on time on the attendance list despite walking in a minute after the bell.
LMAO!
It feels good to be named Yara right about now.
I don’t quite have the same problem as you, but before I was married, my intials were A.B. which I always liked because when I was in school and things were done in ABC order, I usually got to go second or third. I hated when teachers would “switch it up” though and start at the bottom of the alphabet because then I’d have to go last. :P
I’ve often hated my name though because Ashley is such a common name. And no one even called me anything cool like Ash. :P
Ohh, I know what you mean about those damn applications. So, go for the name change, Zacquisha! People would probably shorten your name to Zac, and you and your boy toy would have the same name!!
