I'm with you. I've never liked my name, either. But there's a story. lol

My Mom and my aunt were pregnant at the same time and my Mom wanted to use Martha for that baby, if a girl. My aunt spoke up before my Mom said anything and said she loved the name Martha and was going to name her baby Martha, if a girl. My sister was born before my cousin and my Mom named her Marilyn. My aunt had a girl and decided to name her Lynn. Not the end of the story My Mom and my aunt were pregnant again, and Martha came up as a name again. I was born before my cousin and got my name. My cousin was born a few months later, a boy, but you can bet my Mom heard sour grapes.
