So yeah,
My mother named me after an animal, an animal of all things.
People think its cute and it is! it's very cute, I love the animal I'm named after to. they're great.
But the issue is that people think because I'm named after an animal I'm gonna act like an animal!
I get cat-called all the time by people who know my name, the one I hear most is "Kitcat" or they'll make commonest about my downstairs if you get what I mean. It's so annoying because people think they can just call me pet names and such because of my name and I feel like my gender also plays a role in it. I feel as if too many people get comfortable with me and think they can call me whatever they want because they think I'm lying about my name or that it's just a nickname.
I wish I could have gotten it changed but I'm missing all the paperwork I need for it and it's 400$ and then another god knows what for everything else.
My name makes me feel like I'm not human, I feel like people view me as this cute little toy whom they can "love."
It sucks because it's such a cute name to but people make it gross and gross and just gross!!!
Alright, that's all I gotta say, not a vent btw just a rant about how some people used to treat me, I'm not talking about anyone I know now.
Love you all I hope all you bad bitches have a KICKASS weekend (have a good weekend or I will CRY)

If it helps: 'Most' people in western culture aren't happy with their names. It's almost as if giving people one name for life is a really bad idea. If you live in the UK you can change it 'relatively' easily as long as you can prove that others actually call you that name. (Shout-out to the guy who renamed himself "Optimus Prime".)
As far as I know certain Asian countries use 'child names' for their kids until they become (more or less) old enough to pick one themselves. I'm not claiming that system is perfect either, but I think it shows how many people are displeased with their name. You are not alone.
