Is it normal to hate your name?
Mostly.Normal for most people
Yes, it’s normal to dislike or even hate your name. A name can feel like it doesn’t fit you, carry awkward memories, or simply not match your taste—and you’re allowed to use a nickname or choose another one.
Lots of people feel disconnected from their name, whether it’s because of how it sounds, how others use it, or the memories attached to it. Sometimes the dislike fades; sometimes a nickname or different name just feels more like you.
You don’t need a dramatic reason to go by something else. You can try a nickname with people you trust and see how it feels—your name is part of how people address you, not a rule about who you have to be.
