Should I change my name?

Question

I have one of those dual names, that could be used as a girl or a boy name, but when people don't meet me in person, or hear my voice, they always lean towards the girl side of my name ~ My name is Paris, Im thinking of changing it to my last name, so my name would be Adams Adams, should I, and if so do you have any other names cooler than my last name, I could change it to

my middle intials would be PTA, as in the meeting P-arent T-eachers A-dministrator


and Adams Adams, is like the best conversation starter, like who doesnt like some one who first name is the same as their last, c'mon

my parents named me after my father, but he goes by the name Pepi, as in Pepi la Pu', the cartoon skunk

do people know my family, Perry, Eric, i think some of you might know my family, and giving there names

Oh and people actaully call me Perry already, but they cant really talk, so I dont mind

Answer 1

Why waste your time and money on changing your name, your family gave you this name out of love. Changing it because people get confused when they dont know you is not really a good reason i dont think... Enjoy your name and dont worry about what other people think of it -- life is too short to be worring about nothing

Answer 2

how about tracy?
Well are just changing it cuz of Paris Hilton and her ex Paris? Cuz Paris isn't really a bad name, Paris Hilton just makes it look bad.
How about Adam Adams?
nah man keep it at paris , you can be like allice cooper you know chicks name but an awsome ****** guy dude!
Gavin is a great name. Gavin Adams...has a great ring to it.
go for, mathew or john

ur name is a great conversation starter
Why change it, first off, how old are you? You would regret changing it later down the line because as a 23 yo, I think that is a sexy exotic male name. Adams Adams would be sorry to say, 'dumb'.
That's up to you.

Answer 3

I think that the names Matthew, Eric, Mike, or Edward would sound fine with the last name Adams. I don't think that adam adams or adams adams would be a nice name because people might think that your parents couldn't think of a name in time so they named you your last name or something close to your last.

Answer 4

How about Adam Paris? Or Perry Adams? I don't like Adam Adams.

Answer 5

People obviously haven't studied Greek mythology (or seen the movie "Troy"). Paris is a great name for a man.

Since the Paris of Greek myths earned the surname of Alexander after taking on a gang of cattle-thieves, then if you really must change your name, you could show your cleverness by going with Paris's other name.

Answer 6

I had never heard the name "Paris" until Paris Hilton got into the news. Your parents must have had some reason for naming you Paris. Has it always been this way or is it more recent because of Paris Hilton? I think changing your name takes some legal goings on, but if it bothers you that much, go ahead. If your parents are living, have you discussed it with them?

Answer 7

Please do not change your name to Adams Adams as you stated.. That is worse than Paris. I have heard of guys with the name of Paris before. I wouldn't be ashamed if I were you. When they talk to you over the phone, as long as you sound like a dude, then you are ok!

Answer 8

I don't think Adams Adams would be a good idea.. It's not sounding too cool when I say it out loud. Austin adams if you want to stick with AA or anything that goes well.. adams adams..just a little to... Non-creative

Answer 9

Adam Adams. Leave off the s in your first name. People will remember it.

Answer 10

Why change it, first off, how old are you? You would regret changing it later down the line because as a 23 yo, I think that is a sexy exotic male name. Adams Adams would be sorry to say, 'dumb'.
