I've always felt that my name was kind of generic, but I love my name. My parents told me they were thinking of naming me Lauren, Abigail, or Ashley. I think I would have rather been named Katherine Abigail.

I did for a while go be Anna. Even though it is still a common name, I didn't hear the name as much as Ashley. If I was going to change my name...I guess it would be something like Eden or Alexandra or Hope. I really like those names. That is the good thing about being a writer...pen name! LOL. I always thought to use the name Jillian. It was an old character of mine from when I first started writing. I always wanted to use her and Thomas.

I guess I'm learning to like it, though. At least it's different, plus I actually get a lot of compliments on it.
I have no idea what I would change my name to if I was going to.

I don't like my name and I'd love to change it. The main thing stopping me though is that people wouldn't get used to it. I've changed my surname (although not legally yet) and everyone's used to my old one and finds it hard to remember that it's changed.

Haha yeah Megan the reason they wanted to call me that is because of the surfer girl Gidget, off the movie of the same name, don't know if you've heard of it but I come from a surfing family so they didn't just pull it out of nowhere haha but i'm definitely glad they chose Tessa!

I would not change my name, even though it is really popular. I was never made fun of because of my name. The spelling set me apart from all the rest. I've gotten used to spelling my name when necessary and it really doesn't bother me. My dad loved this spelling, so that makes it special. My mn was a play of my dad's name, as well as my initials.

plus it means i believe : (found out what it means)
The girl's name Cassandra: It is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "man's defender, warrior". Perhaps a version of Alexander. Literary: in Homer's "Iliad", Cassandra was a Trojan princess blessed with the gift of prophecy. She foretold the fall of Troy but was unheeded. The name was occasionally used from the Middle Ages until the 18th century.
who'd knew it meant that ? LOL
get this i find another meaning for my name also means : she who entangles men (I'm sorry but i literally cracked up by this meaning of my name ) LOL

HAHAHA! We are doing Greek Drama in AP English and whenever I hear Cassandra I always think of you
Anyways, back to the topic
I don't think I would change my name even though I don't really like Alyssa. I don't like it, don't hate. It's kind of a happy medium. I just feel like an Alyssa, I guess.
