So I migrated to this country from another country...when I came to America my parents didn't give me a nickname in English so im stuck with this gay name. Well i live in the states and in Spanish it means 'fly' (my name). In my own language it means flowers :) well a lot of ppl talking about or make fun of it since i was little. or they think its wierd. sometimes I wish I had a normal name that doesnt mean "fly" in Spanish or sounds like Moscow or Moskaou (its spelled similar to these names).
Im getting fed up and a lot of people talk about it. I hate my name! i tried getting a nickname but it does not work.

A friend of mine changed his name legally in court for $100. It can be done, and fairly easily.
But if you don't want to do that, just start introducing yourself to people by whatever name you wish to go by. Tell your friends you're tired of being teased, and want to start using another name. If they're truly your friends, they'll cooperate. I've known several people who have done that.

You are not alone -- there are many people who have felt that way. The difference is that they are past all of that. If you cannot change it, accept it and get on with your life. They tease you because you allow them to. The more you show it bothers you, the more they remind you. (By the way, real friends would not do that.)
Believe me, your name could be worse. Middle name? Next time you start a new school, job, or whatever, use your middle name. In the meantime, hold your head up and ignore those who want to tease you. Do not respond to anything except your name and practice looking stern at those who want to tease you for the first time. Then walk away. Ignore those who want to tease you a second time until they call you by your correct name.
