Most people have probably had a love / hate relationship with their NAMES at some point in their lives.
Maybe you’ve wished your name was something MORE common . . . LESS common . . . MORE simple to hear and spell . . . or MORE unique.
But overall, people generally like their names. In a new poll, only 6% of people said they don’t like their name. (4% said they “dislike it,” and 2% “hate it.” It’s unclear how many of them are named Shirley. Or Chad.)
42% of people love their name . . . 31% like it . . . and 19% are neutral. Men are more likely to be cool with their name . . . especially younger guys.
63% of the people in the poll say their name is “common,” while 33% would say theirs is uncommon.
And 24% of people say they generally prefer names that are “more common,” while 39% say they prefer names that are less common. 37% aren’t sure.
