My full name is Carly Hope Franklin.  My parents were morons and named me after a singer, Carly Simon.  I hate my name.  The reasons are:

1) It is never on anything.
2) My best friend, and everyone else in the world, calls me Carly Simon all the time.
3) I have to tell everyone 8 million times how to pronounce and spell it. 

I would like just about any name that didn’t rhyme with the name of an oat.  I like names such as: Elizabeth, Nicolette, Jennifer, Brette and Virgilia.  I hate the name Marie.  It reminds me of someone I really hate.
