Do you like your name? Do you "claim" your name, introduce yourself to others so they can hear it or do you mumble it?

I don't feel comfortable in my name, it's not a bad name and it is "mine" (I tried to modify it as a teen, add a letter, and my stepmother had a hissy fit, "That's not your name!") but I guess I just feel it deserves better than me or something, LOL.
