HelpRe: Did it bother you if you couldn't get things with your name on growing up?
in reply to a message by Kerrin
Yes a little bit but mostly because my sister Nicole almost always could find things with her name on it. I think only twice did I ever find things with my name on them which is Marisa. There were sometimes Marissa items which I bought then would remove a S from. There was always Melissa items which wasn't close enough.
I stopped being jealous of it and stopped caring around high school. I out grew an interest in buying those kind of items plus my sister got stuck surrounded by Nicole's and Nikki's in our school. She was so annoyed with it and stopped wanting me to call her Nicky since all the Nicole's went by Nikki/ Niki. I started calling her Nicole more often and Snickerdoodle - which was one of her numerous nn's I gave her and was her favorite of them. I became convinced that having a common name was not a good thing.

As others have mentioned it mostly doesn't matter these days since you can buy personalized things online. Although most of the personalized things I wanted were tourist items while on vacation not keychains or pens or wall decals. Like for example decorative license plates in different states with your name as the plate number. I wanted them more for the memory of the trip than to have a customized item.
