I also wanted to add that I like your real name. But if it doesn't suit you, it doesn't suit you. I didn't change my last name when I got married because I like my last name. It has a silent S in it, I mean, who has a silent freakin' S in their name? I grew up forever accepting every weird way my last name could be pronounced and spelled it a zillion times over before I ever met my husband. I was sort of attatched to it by that point. I gave a valiant effort at getting my husband to change his name but, yeah, no.
So I get the name thing. Either you are whatever about it, like it and it fits or don't like it and it doesn't fit. My son has one name on his birth certificate but has always been called another name at home. The first day he started kindergarten, he declared he wanted to go by his birth certificate name, not his "family" name.
Names are a big deal to some people and put a lot of significance to it. You're one of those people. So, when you are old enough, you can either change your name legally to something that fits and feels right, or just start having everyone call you by a nickname (which may be a lot harder than it sounds, to be honest).
But I like your name. I don't know if I'm pronouncing it correctly in my mind, but I put the emphasis on the first syllable and say Baa like Baa-Baa sheep (without the bleeting) and the second part is like the rook you'd play in chess. Am I even close? If so, I like it, I like the way it sounds and I like the way it feels to say it, it has a good mouth feel or whatever.

But I didn't cover it up with the "expletive deleted" part, so I think the forum software did it automatically unless you or another moderator did it. I just sorta assumed it would be covered up by the software and when I posted and saw that it had been covered up, I thought I was good to go. I just noticed that the all caps version slipped through though, so, uh, oops! hehe Anyways, the "b-(expletive deleted)" story is 100% true and totally awesome. We're pretty lax about language around here but thank goodness Coyote hasn't picked any of it up! For some reason, I find that thought mortifying! Which is weird, because the thought of my kiddo cussing is only mildly mortifying. I don't know what that says about me.
