Today was my first day of school!?

Question

Today was my first day of school! We went to each class and saw what we were doing in that class, where it was, who was in it. All of that. So the first thing we did was take attendance.

Well my name is Taylor. So in every class, there are at least 2 Taylors! In three of my classes there are 3 Taylors. In 1 of my classes there are 4!

I never had a problem with the name thing before! I was always the only Taylor in every class until now!

I hate it!

Did you ever have this problem???

Answer 1

Not as bad as you! In elementary and middle school I went to s small school and there was one other Cristina in my grade, so I was always Cristina F. which I hated. Then when I got to High School there was another Cristina as well, but it was a bigger school so that wasn't as bad.  

Answer 2

My son is named Jacob, and there are Jacobs everywhere. We call him Cubby, and he gets called Cub, or Cubby at school. Maybe you can think of a nickname that you like, and ask your teachers to please refer to you as that nickname instead. That way you won't be branded Taylor S. (or whatever your last name initial is) all year.

Taylor is only popular because its a nice name. Its better than being named something crazy!

Answer 3

yes!!!

there are so many people named maya i got realy fed up with it so i finally changes the spelling to maja. i have three people in my home room named maya and it gets realy realy annoying... but i learn to live with it

Answer 4

When I was in school, I always had at least one other Elizabeth. My son's name is Zachary. With that name being popular these days I bet he will have more than one Zach's in his class. I never realized Taylor was such a common name! It is very pretty, but I would have thought at maximum there would be 2. I hope you have a great school year!

Answer 5

No because Valentina is not a common name in America.

Answer 6

Yes. There's usually a Crystal or Christy in my class who gets called on a lot and my name's Kristyl. To remedy this, my friend Kat christened me Pablo lol.

Answer 7

there is only one girl in my school named tylor i didn't think it was a popular name for girls since people often get it confused with tyler.

Answer 8

I never had this problem.

Answer 9

Mine's Jessica.  Can you imagine that? I would suggest using your last initial or develop a nickname to give you a little more individuality.

Don't worry about the fact that you have the same name as anyone else, it's your personality that sets you part

Hope your first day was good besides that!

Answer 10

no

Answer 11

Aww I'm sorry. :( That must be kind of sad.

But just remember you are you, and no one else will ever be, even if someone else has your name, there is no exact replica of you.

My name is Isabella, and I've never had that problem. In fact, there might be no Isabella's in my school, except for me.

Answer 12

Yeah.

After preschool, I was the only Erin.

Until garde six, when a new boy came, Aaron.

He refused to take the initial, so I got it, but no one thought it suited me, so everyone called me by my full name (first and last).

It was kind of weird for a while, hearing "Hey, Erin Walsh" or "I'm going to the movies with Erin Walsh" by some of my closest friends.

But now after 4 years I'm in highschool, and the only Erin again.

I'd say if you can, go by a nickname, so you're not pegged with an initial for the rest of your school career.

Answer 13

Absolutely! My name is Michelle and the school I went to had 6 Michelles!

There were 4 in my grade and one that had the same initials as well, so the class called us Michelle and Mish. I was called Mish. If you get annoyed of it ask your friends to eaither call you by your name and your last names initials. Otherwise, give them a nickname to call you. Like Tay or Taytay for example.

Hope that helps!=)

Answer 14

yeah at camp theryre was 3 sarah`s including me

Answer 15

I was one of 11 Nancys in my 11th grade French class. That is why when I was 25 yrs old I changed my name to Colette.

Do you have a middle name you like that you can go by?

Here is always Ty !

Sorry you have to go through this.

Answer 16

yeaht aht kinda sucks do u have have a nickname u could go by? u could ask everyone to call u tay or like cookie or thinnk of a nickname

Answer 17

Nope, can't say that's ever happened to me.  My name is Amelia, which thankfully, isn't very common.

Sorry about that though.  It must really suck.

Answer 18

Bummer...sorry your name is so popular!!. I dont have that problem, my name is Nicki.

Answer 19

At camp there are three people with my name, it's so confusing, especially when we stand next to each other!

Answer 20

That is hilarious, my name is Taylor.
