I have the same problem only difference is i am still having problems with it in university a professor messed up saying my name and got the entire lecture laughing at me

I love boki so cute

Thank you this was super helpful !

Im trying to add a middle name at age 26 cause no one calls me by my dads name I'm a Jr.

So.... I agree with you and all, but, let me put you in my situation. Imagine being named after your father/mother. My parents didn't even think of a name for me and my dad literally just named me after himself without putting any thought into it. This has seriously been an issue for me my whole life because I don't feel unique or myself at any instance. I'm always feeling as if he expects me to follow onto his footsteps and its always been so irritating having the same name, whenever my mom calls my name sometimes I don't even know if he's calling me or my dad. Like at least add an abbreviation like Jr. or something... smh. Also my name is long and its so common. I know it's pretty popular but that's just the thing, having a very common name is boring quite literally. I'm 100% sure people named Alejandro/Alex or Alejandra/Alexa or Alexander/Alexandra or any similar name would agree with me. Cuz that's my situation. There's just so many people named like this. This one time I was ordering food at Cane's they asked me for the name of the order and I said Alex and they were like.."another one really?, We GOt AnotHeR ALeX ComINg uP". That's frustrating. I mean ya'll get the point. I'm sure there are any other common names out there. I just wish I had a different name.

Yeah but so is any other house you’d want to buy… you haven’t earned anything

I want to change my name. Can you guide me the process or any agent who can help me with that. Thank you.

Im looking to chnage my name now

Charlotte, I love your name! it's so pretty and beautiful. I have always felt my name doesn't fit ever since I was 5. My given name isn't hard to pronounce, but everyone always calls me Melissa instead. I've been going by Dolores since 2019 and want to make it official by legally changing it. My family absolutely hates it, which is why I haven't changed it so far. I feel so happy every time I introduce myself as Dolores, I've even been told it's pretty. Thank you for giving me the courage to revisit this again. Dolores

Man, my story was just like yours... For me though, I'm changing my name legally as soon as I cut my mom out of my life lol. My friends already call me the name I like which is Mae

Im sorry that you were bullied. You seem like such a sweet person. Im glad you are working toward happiness!!!!! God bless you!!!!

your original name is beautiful. BOKA does have meaning.

Thank you for this

I changed my name when i was adopted after my parent's death 8 years ago My initial name was "mohamed" and i changed it mostly because it was a religious name And now my name is aiden

my real name is justine, I am an girl so I hate it so much. Can I change it?

I was thinking today to maybe try and change my name and was talking with my mom about it, she asked me why cuz my name is so beautiful : Sardar. But this name I have nothin against this "name" although it's more like a title, and it's used as a title of nobility and royalty and it's of Persian origin. I do not see my personality fitting this name, I have no such leadership qualities, I don't think I deserve it, besides it's very unusual for my part of the world. And everyone being suprised by my name like "Wow Sardar what a name" and blah blah. Also mispronouncing and butchering it, and I'm tired of explaining it. I was thinking to go by the name Joseph, because I personally like this name, besides it has a corelation with a biblical person, who was loyal to God, and I want to try to be like that, besides in 2021 I had some depressive states and like in late 2021 early 2022 I started to try to reset my life and to change my habits although I still need to work on it, and I don't want anything to remind me of my past, including my name. I am still thinking of it not to make such a rush decision cuz it's also involves legal action you know, changing the name of my documents and etc. Yeah maybe it's not about the name and more like my actions that define my personality, but still, I am just kind of done with it, just because people always ask me, "what's the origin?" "where you from?" "it's very unusual like you ain't from here" - a teacher thought I am a foreign student lol . I want a more subtle name, I am done with being in the center of attention I don't want to be highlighted with such a name. Maybe it's just how I feel now and I shouldn't make a decision based on emotions- I will think about it- but still, this name reminds me of my past and only bad memories. It might be hard for my parents to get used to it hah, cuz my current name links many memories for them. I am not sure so I just take my time and think about it before making this decision.

I love your new name, it fits you. I have been dealing with the exact same thing for years with my name and I am finally in the process of changing my name. I wasn't laughing at your experience but I laughed because I felt the same way during attendance, graduations, and even at work as a nurse they always completely butcher my name. It is embarrassing as hell and it's like they don't even try. I am so mad my parents gave me a ghetto name, granted I am very successful in life for the most part but your name does play a part in your success. My brother has an easy name, Charles. I don't know why parents always try to get so creative with the girl's name and ruin it. I do feel judgement from my mom for wanting to change my name but I want to do this for myself. I want to feel a newfound confidence and become a new person. My old name is associated with so much trauma and bad mistakes. I just need a fresh start. It is a process and I am slowly starting to use my name such as new emails when I order things online and food etc; to get a feel for it. Thanks for posting my love!

The best investment one can do right now is investing on real estate though stocks are good but ever since I swapped to real estate, I've seen so much difference.

I also want to do that 😢

Hey Charlotte, just came across to see your video, coz i have been looking for videos that talks about the name change, I m in the process of getting my name change, I hope the authority will let me change it legally... I m touched about what you said, especially the past you want to let go...

Watching this in 2024 after finally having changed my name at 19. I can relate to every word you are saying about the old name holding you back and representing a version of you that you don’t relate to and don’t want to be. My parents are, understandably, angry at me for changing the name that they gave me and it feels a little strange to have to tell friends and family about it. However, as you said, it is something we do for ourselves and we should really do what makes US happy and live the life that WE want. Hope you are doing well❤️

Are you still making more videos

Thank you for this video. I never thought about asking for a sample contract, but I will definitely start asking. I’m a new agent. Currently interviewing with some brokerages. Thanks again for this amazing video! 😊

thank you a lot for sharing this story. I'm so grateful that I found this video I am on the journey of changing my name which I've been always believing that this is my fate in life, but now.. I no longer think this way because I am aware that I am the only one responsible for my future and my future does not have this old identity. my story is unique actually, I lived my whole 22 years by two names, one from my mother's side and the other from my dad's and there was a huge argument when I was born, and I have really been struggling in my childhood. this misery ENDS now.

I want to know the name!!!!!!!!!!!

But it’s not that all Asians want to completely erase their identity and become White?

Interviewer: Charlotte come in !! You show up Interviewer: Please wait till your turn and get us Charlotte.

Man i thought iam only had this problem. What you said exactly described my experience. When teacher calling your name during attendance that felt like hell. Iam turning 25 i dont i want change my even though i hate. Nobody in world know i hate my name even my parents, slibling.

Thank you for sharing this video Charlotte. I’m 17 I decided on a new name I got tired of carrying on this identity that didn’t fit me. It feels so liberating not being held down by my name. Although now I struggle with old friends still attached to my old name. It’s funny though because when I introduce myself to others now they call me by name, something that almost never happened with my ethnic name.

Hi Charlotte! This was very helpful and informative. Thank you so much. I am wondering, how are the brokerage- new agent interviews initiated? Should I call around and schedule? Or is it more of something you call and do the same day? I'm assuming its not a walk in. Should I first ask them if they are accepting new agents?

Well done on good video. I am here a bit late but still a good video. As a teenager I considered to add a second name, as I only have one, but never went through it. But good for you to move on forward, new name and all. Congrats.

I feel you my name is Hali, and everyone has always pronounced it wrong. I'm finally changing it to HAILEE

Thanks very much for sharing your journey. I was wondering how you get others who have known you as your old name to start using or accept your new name. I have wanted to change my name for a few years now but I'm wondering how I can deal with that in the work place. My boss, my coworkers, my friends. If you have any pointers it would be much appreciated. Thanks

i have the name that i really like in my ethnic language. but that is not common in environment that i live. and people dont even prounounce it right and struggling to adapt my name. its a kinda weired for that environment and i am feeling so ashamed and depressed over it. and when i decided to change it i really feel bad because i think that my dad will feel sad

My cat has a musky scent I just love it

I smell my cat everyday to relieve stress, I don’t know what I would do without their gratifying candy scent ❤

Thank you for the information you supplied. Great interviewing questions that most don’t provide.

Never seen such relatable comment section. I started changing my name today because i really hate my official name which is Dorcas😭😱 to Dorah. It has held me back so long and I hate it so much. I wish all goes well.

Yeah I was wondering why cats smell good… I have a cat myself and was wondering how the heck he smells good even without showering! Found it it’s got to do with the natural oils released by cats and also them grooming themselves so much! By the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!

I'm changing my name next year. I told my parents about my decision and they said to sit on it, so for them, I will do that, but I don't think my decision is going to change. I have a simple yet pretty name in mind that I will be easier to pronounce and feels more like me. It will be a difficult process, but well worth it.

My sister and I both have Ragdolls and they smell like cake and cookies!

Hello my name is Chaleika & I am 23 years old. Like also in fact that I was born with mild autism in real life too sweetie. Which also does means that I was a born in Canada. And plus I have even just recently changed my one of my two middle names too from Ester Rokeisha to Ester Rose 🌹 just quite literally because I did strongly dislike that one middle name Rokeisha that was actually giving to me at birth by my mom just quite literally because it has actually sounded pretty weird for me to pronounce & to spell. And plus my mom had almost wanted to call me Chiquita which was actually supposed to be my first name but luckily my dad has said no we are certainly not going to be naming our most very beautiful lovely daughter that which is actually me of course just quite literally because those other kids at school would have gotten teased & even by getting made fun of me like in school about the whole fact that I would have most likely been called Chiquita Banana 🍌 too sweetie. But thankfully that my grandmother & my dad has actually done a very good job by choosing those two very nice unique names which is actually Chaleika & Ester. Like also in fact that I have even just recently like that involves of removing like my mom's last name which has actually used to be Cyrus just quite literally because she has really hurted 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔 my feelings repeatedly like over the past 15 years now. Which also does mean that I do officially now have my dad's last name which is actually Edwards now. I'm so thankful that I have shared my story with you today. And plus I am actually going to be sending you a very big nice warm hug 🤗 & a very big nice juicy kiss 😘 from your very sweet loving kind sister best friend Chaleika.🌸🌸🌸🌸🥀🌸🌸🌸🌸🥀🌸🌸🌸🌸🥀🌸🌸🌸🌸🥀🌸🌸🌸🌸🥀🌸🌸🌸🌸🥀

I so wanna change my name as I'm tired of being ignored or forgotten... I have a nice and unique name. But the only benefit I have gotten out of it, is occasional compliments. But other than that, I have only had disadvantages. Always forgotten, despite my efforts. I don't know what to do...

I very very rarely dislike videos. This one I disliked

Thank you for making this, i also have a old name that serves no purpose, timid, a terrible past, you are a blessing c:

I hate my name, county and all of the rules imposed on me I want to be free like you.

This is me but with my last name. My first name is foreign but never really had any problems with it. But my last name made me scared to get my name announced in school and stuff

I relate to this video sooo much!!! I just feel like my current name no longer serves me, I will be changing it next month!! So excited for new beginnings 😊

This video is super informative and straight to the point!! Loved it 10/10 Got a brokerage interview tomorrow and needed some advice.
