Should I change my nickname out of respect for hurricane victims?

It's nice that you're thinking about it. When I first saw your name on Yahoo Answers I could only see the 'hurricane' part, and I had to mouse over to make sure it wasn't 'hurricane katrina', because that one would have made me jump, she's too recent to joke about. But 'camille', that should be fine, I'm guessing a lot of the internet users these days were born after 1969 so they wouldn't be offended.

They aren't.  They change with each letter.  For example, the letter 'A' would be a man's name... the letter 'B' would be a woman's... 'C' a man's.... 'D' a woman's.   Then the next year it would switch... 'A' would be a woman's... 'B' a man's... 'C' a woman's... 'D' a man's.  etc etc etc.  Actually if you look on the National Hurricane Center's website they have all the hurricane names picked out through like 2010.  Most of the names get reused years down the road.  The most catastrophic hurricane's such as Katrina and Camille have their names retired.  The NHC's website also lists the names of hurricanes that have been retired.

Not a good idea. I had a friend who is now deceased, his first name was Dicky. He was constantly ask what his real name was, so he finally decided to change it to Richard. His parents never found out, because he was still called Dicky by his friends, but when someone would asked about his real name he could answer Richard.\nLife is difficult enough, so give your child the chance of a happy and healthy life, and give her a normal first name.

I would probably change it to "Nobody".  That way, whenever anyone says "Nobody's Perfect", it would boost my self-esteem, or my ego, or both.

The people who do that are going to find something to condescend about...in your case it just happens to be your name. BTW..i think it is a fine name.

No, it is only polite to comfort the victims families and express your sorrow for their loss. Try to offer them any support you can and pray only for their well being.\n\nI would consider it very selfish to count your blessings in front of people who are less fortunate.

An old friend of mine was named Mary Poppen, I don't know her marital status now, so she may still have the name. Every time we went somewhere and met someone I would have to vouch for her that her name really was  Mary Poppen. I do say she is an interesting person. It is sad because she got teased alot and she was really very attractive smart and very funny. I think people were just jealous that she had a good sense of her identity and found something to tease her about. As for me, I have seriously considered changing my name, and I am in the process of doing so, but just my last name.I believe you should feel comfortable with your name . Although I must tell you that when you are looking at names, you will always find that there is some jerky person out there that will try and trash you no matter how good your name sounds. So I say if your personal reason for changing your name make you a more productive, giving and loving person, I would do it, and I am.

"reduce the power imbalance and facilitate easy communication..." Am I understanding right?  Is this why you are against this?  Employee or Volunteer you are there to "serve"  those people is seems name tags would make that easier.  It doesn't make you less humble, but more open and accessible.  Considering the clientele I would only have tags with first names for security.  \nNew people always come in and try and change things :)  Name tags aside support this new person. If they receive a lot of resistance about an issue right away it could permanently affect your relationship.  Ten years from now when you look back you are going to remember the relationships you had with people, not name tags :)  Give it a chance and if it doesn't work out take him aside and talk about it with him, not behind his back with other employees.  P.S. Good for you for your dedication to serving you community!!

Yeah, I've read about it. It's pretty stupid. There are no real evidence that having a weird name will improve any aspect of your life - more likely it'll damage the social part because your friends will think you are an idiot. Which you are, if you think adding an extra 'i' in 'Martin' will spawn great economical success.

Ah I hate that!!! Well actually sometimes its a nickame derived from the last nme, which is okay in my books.\nBut the other day, someone called me by my last name. It was a fellow that I was interested in,  what a turnoff. It rather felt like he was making me into a guy.

Are you biased because of your name?!

If you born there, don´t make yourself a "questionable" reputation.\n\nIf the blah, blah, blah hurts someone you are thinking as a coward.

Nothing is wrong with your icon or the fact that your old name was (the original, "Jim_Darwin"), or your new name. \n\n Do enjoy the rest of your day, and may God continue to bless you.\n\nPraying for you always.
