Susan. But, my friends call me Susan. Boring, bland, common name. Ivylass, I love the name Wendy. ---

> [@wmulax93](#): > > Justin > > Not too common, not too rare. I like it! You must be significantly older/younger than me. Justin was an extremely popular name when I was born, and that’s how I got stuck with it. My dad wanted to name me Merlin, which I think would’ve been a lot cooler. ---

Elizabeth But my next door neighbor thinks my name is Vanessa. Whenever anyone tells her that it’s Elizabeth, she accuses them of being part of a huge conspiracy to play a mean practical joke on her. We’ve been living next to her for over 5 years, now. ---

Sara. I used to hate it but eventually it grew on me. She laughed at God. 🙂 Of course, one of the reasons I used to hate it was that it was the most freaking popular name for girls the year I was born. And I hate having to spell it all the time. “Sara, without the “H”.” “Huh?” ---
