Take a public speaking class, you learn that one of the things that people like hearing the most is their own name.

<< I like when Hispanic girls roll the "r" in my name... Marrrrrrio :) >>

a good number of girls have just said it just for fun, they say they "just like the way it sounds". talk about an ego trip :D

I like my name, although my friends usually call me by my nickname which I also like.

Nope.
My parents chose to give me a hyphenated name around the time The Carpenters and the english royal family were popular.
Couple that with a Japanese last name and I get some weird looks.

I don't mind mine, especially if it's being screamed by a g/f in the heat of passion.. :D

But for the most part, the name "Steve" tends to be associated with the "village idiot" in most popular media. (I.e. the "Steve" is always the guy who messes up or is a nuisance in general..think those "Robbins Brothers" commercials..)

i'm not sure if i'm so crazy about the way it sounds.
it could sound a bit japanese, spanish, or german.

but i definately like the way it looks spelled out. :)

No, I am seriously thinking of changing my name. It is "Drew" but it seems so dumb :(
I want my name to be Sam or Felix or something. A lot of my peers call me by my last name, which is much better sounding to me anyway.

gopunk you have a cool ass name, I've said that before ;)
