My middle name... Girls only???

Question

OK, so my parents gave me the name Erin Bradley. (I'm a girl) I like my name, and I'm proud of it and all, but people make fun of me when I tell them my middle name. They don't mean to be hurtful, but they really mae me mad. Does anyone else have this issue? And what can I do about it without changing my name?

Answer 1

My middle name is Michael, I understand the frustration. I just ignore it, it's my middle name. They really shouldn't have an issue with it, it's weird to think about it too much (or that's what I ell them, and it seems to work).  

Answer 2

WHO CARES...you should be proud of your names (whether its your middle last or first name)

this may sound corny but you can give your middle name  a nickname like brandi or sumthin like that

Answer 3

Well i am 24 weeks pregnant and I am naming my baby girl Kali Adyson I posted a question to get peoples opinions about the name and people were saying that its horrible and Adyson is a boys name but you know what who cares...your name is beautiful and as long as your happy with it who cares what people think ya know? Its your name and its Unique!

Answer 4

who cares!

'people' dont call you by your middle name

they call you by their first

does it really matter if they laugh at your name?

as long as you like it, because you ARE the one with the name

Answer 5

well my middle name is my dad's first name. It gets irritating when people make fun of it because it's a guy name. Whenever I have to fill out an application or use my name i just use the initial rather than the full middle name

Answer 6

You can't do anything.

If you like your name s***w everyone else :]

Let them be, they are imature.

Answer 7

Tell people you were named after a relative who just happened to die last week from cancer...they'll be too embarrassed to make fun of you.

Answer 8

The people who make jokes abouts other without any reason are sillies. So, don't matter what the other says if you are pround of your name.

Good luck girl.

Answer 9

If the people who are making fun of you are your friends you should be able to sit down and explain how upsetting their comments are.

If their not, just ignore them and they'll get bored. People will always try and slag you off for something or other and because of that I've learned to just rise above everyone else. Their just being immature and if they really appreciate you as a friend they will stop when you explain your feelings to them.

If they say something to you just say something back like "bet your jealous you didn't get such a unique middle name", or "just because you've got a boring middle name", or "just because you share a middle name with half the worlds population".

they'll soon become bored.

Think about it like this there are lots of girls with names like charlie which is masculine.

Answer 10

people have made fun of my middle name before and i just plant the hurtful thruth on them, its was my grandmother's name who i never got to meet because she died from cancer!

Answer 11

I like it. I wouldn't care if people laugh. Bradley technically can be used as a girls name. I would mkae sure you feel confident about your name and just state to them that you love your name and don't care what they think about.  

Answer 12

Love your name, it makes you special.

People make fun, but give you attention.  It IS fun!

Answer 13

just ignore them

cause maybe they are just laughing just becasue

& who knows their last names may be worser

& bradley is not one of the worst middle names i've heard for a girl

:]

Answer 14

my middle name is james and my first name is shannon... im a girl, i feel your pain!

Answer 15

My middle name is Barbara and that's not even a weird name and yet I still get made fun of because of it. However I learned to love it since it is the first name of both my grandma's and my dad's mom died when he was 13 years old. It's kinda like a tribute to her.

Answer 16

I don't think there is much you can do about it, especially if you really like you're name.  Just be proud of it and when you say it, say it like it's really great.  Did you ever see that show on Nickelodeon years ago called "Hey Dude"?  One of the main characters was a girl and her name was Brad.  Everyone who watched that show loved her and didn't seem to mind that her name was typically a boy's name!  :)

Besides, there are worse names to have as your middle name that one that is masculine.  It could be feminine but super ugly...

Also, my dad's middle name is Kristen, which is typically a girl's name.  He's fine with it and most people think it's cool.
