Is it normal to pick a different first name for your SO (significant other) because you hate their real name? For example changing Karen to Tracy.
I mean, a nickname is fine.. but to completely rename someone is actually insulting IMO. I hate my boyfriends name, but it is what it is...I just deal with it and you should, too.
Sounds very self indulgent and disrespectful of the other person, and his or her feelings! Such behavior is a definite deal breaker in my book. I like the name my folks gave me, and ain't no-damn-body gonna change it, because they don't like don't like it or it reminds em of some bullshit. If somebody doesn't like my name I don't need to know em.
I hear ya, Rosie. But let's say you had a boyfriend like me, and he called you Rosie-the-sex-kitten while you were in the sack with him. That would be okay wouldn't it? I personally think dirty talk is most fun when you give your partner lots of compliments.
I've always disliked MY name, but my SO (who has a beautiful name) has never changed my name, though given how much I dislike my name I probably wouldn't feel too put out if she did. However if I up and changed HER name because I didn't like it, I expect she'd feel royally pissed.
Why? Do you accidentally scream out your ex's name when you two have sex?
