HelpRe: I hate my name! What should i do?
in reply to a message by Thojoe Smithinway
There's nothing really alliterative about Thomas Thorsen. Thomas is pronounced with a hard "T" sound as in tornado, whereas Thorsen is pronounced with the "TH" blend as in the. Two wholly different sounds. It's kinda like complaining about being named Phoebe Peters; both start with "P" but have two distinct sounds. So not a big deal, imho. I think Thomas Thorsen (how is it too long?) flows fine, myself. But eh. It's up to you.
I still give Thor Thompson my blessing--
WAAAIT A MINUTE.
WAIT A COTTON-PICKIN' MINUTE.
Why are you okay with Thor Thompson? Doesn't that have the exact "problem" that Thomas Thorsen has...?
You're confusing me, amigo. .-.

So you want a name that is share with many people in your family? So why not just pick a name from among your family members' names and go with that?
If you don't like Tom or Tommy, politely ask people not to call you either of those. My name is Catherine, and I've corrected people when they're called me Cathy or Katie.
You are confusing, because in the OP you specifically said you hate your name because your FN and LN start with the same 3 letters and they are thus too close. Not you're giving completely different reasons.

I wondered that too...
...I don't think he specified it as a problem, but maybe losing the repeated "s" helps.
