I don't dislike my given name, but it is a spelling pain in the butt, especially with my married surname. My maiden surname was easy to spell, especially in the US, and even Czechs know that surname. As I am now (married), I think I'm the only person in the world with my combo of names. In any case, I never had kids, but for girls I always liked the names Emily and Nora. In Czech Republic, the Czech version of my surname is easy to spell, unlike in the US. My Americanized version (in my passport) is confusing for Czechs as it lacks the Czech diacritical marks and is otherwise the male version, while I am female. Without knowing me, Czechs would assume I am male if they didn't see me. In the US, alliteration of my names was also an issue, as well as my legal given name being the usual shortened version of a longer given name. And a differently spelled version, at that. And the icing on the cake is that some documents show my middle name as my full childhood one, while others show my maiden surname initial. These discrepancies were not my doing. In Czech Republic, middle names are uncommon in the first place, unlike in the US and many other countries. Sorry for the venting. Raw subject lately.

What male names do you like best? Or female, if you'd like to answer that?
