my english name is edward and according to my parents it was given to me by my father.The name started giving me sleepless nights on my very first in college.usually whenever the am being called upon people always make fun of me.like the"headworld"stuff and the worst part of it is that am a very shyguy.And again living in the eastern part of the country is another problem on its own cos of the famous late ritualist popularly known as"eddy"which is the short form of my name.To me the name is the worst thing that ever happened to me.I hate my name so that am ashamed to answer when am being called upon.I have tried in so many ways to change it but it did't work.Whenever i think of the name i think of my father who gave it to me and i hated him for that.As a christain i believe that in one way or another the name you bear affects your life either positively or negatively and mine is really affecting me.please i need help.....!!!

Have you ever taken time to search for great men who once were named EDWARD? Why not focus on the positive and leave the negative. To every name, there are good and bad people who once had them. If you change it to another, I can dig out extremely bad people who once had such name. Your father didn't have any negative or ill feelings towards you for giving you the name.

Your friends are making fun because its what they know how to do best.. It is normal at this age for peers to make fun of each other. Develop a thick skin to it and stop hating your name.

Is like you have big head that's why you hate the name


Your dad was right to name you that.... "Head ward"



Sorry about that but try and live with it.

Nobody can ever get you angry without your permission and in this case, you gave them the right to. Never ever hate yourself. Always have respect and love for who you are which will help boost your self confidence. I always smile or laugh even when thrown few jabs at and the person may end up looking like a fool.... Until you get to a level where you can even look at yourself and throw jabs at yourself and still laugh bout it...you will forever be held captive by peoples opinions. Learn to conquer thy self.

cool

I knew a guy we were calling head ward those days, some call him hammer heads of horror, some call isi ala ngwa.

He kept going on, even though his head was like black and white TV, he didn't mind...after a while we got tired of laughing at him.



Just ignore them. It will pass

Bryan12: cool

you can look at yourself in the mirror and yap your head, catch your fun then accept who you are..... Once you accept the way you are, i bet the next time someone makes fun of you laugh at them cos the joke is on them for tis outdated and they are only operating from their limiited minds. Also work on your biceps and if you got a broad chest, show and enhance them all. You have abilities to transform every aspect of you if you discover yourself. I was once a shy guy as you and i speak from experience.

Don't u have an igbo name? use it more often. When asked, tell ppl ur igbo name. it will gradully die down everybody had to live wit acaricature at one stage

What's wrong with Edward?
Agreed, it's not the cutest of names out there but it's cool jor.
Pple make fun of names, especially at that stage but it dies down later, who has time to start laughing at your name when you start working or something?
Abeg, think of better thing and stop giving yourself headache over what is not jare.

Stories that touch.

So, you have issues with your father ( supposedly), and thats why you, a grown ar.se man, must come to nl to whine about your name which for some reason, you're unable to do anything about.

Where do they breed you people.

Or, are you underage, like maybe 10 years old? Your cognition level seems to indicate that.

what exactly is your point?

If u feel dis much hatred about ur name,then officially change it.

Why do i just like the name?

Your name is nice?

Hate your head not the name. Your name is nice.

If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. Tell people you meet that you prefer whatever name you choose. I know many guys who refuse to use their first names either going by a middle name, last name, or some name of their choice. You don't have to be drastic and legally change it, just say my name is Edward, but I go by _______.
