I hate my name. My first name sounds like an old ladys name, and my middle name my parents always used, but reminds me of when my mom used to call my name when she was drunk. I really hate my name.

Several years later ,I was called by GOD,I remembered that dialogue ,and I think it is a GOD given name just like GOD/Jesus changed Abraham, Israel ,Peter’s names, and I was chosen by GOD and is destined to be the Christian.

Jacob was named Israel, Saul was named Paul, Simon was named Peter. I still like the name tigger. When our son was three we called him tigger because he would bouncy bouncy all around the house. It brings back fond memories. I like some old ladies names and unique names, which is why I chose Willamina, my grandma's name. I also like Viola. But some I don't like as well are Gertrude, Agnus and Madeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For if one present themselves will, they will have a good name. A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. Proverbs 22:1 And from what I have seen here on Worthy, you have a very good name, When God looks at your name, He sees that you have trusted in the Name of His Son, Acts 4:12; and reminds us: Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven. Luke 10:20 Our names are written in heaven, and if God writes any name down, that name has a far greater beauty than any earthly name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bethany Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 My parents gave me the name of Bethany 1) because someone related to me that they love dearly was named Bertha and they didn't want to name Bertha (THANK GOODNESS!) 2) They like the meaning they found "House of God" ...I love my name. My brothers have biblical names as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
