Woman who hates her 'embarrassing' name is too ashamed to say it out loud

A woman who hates her "embarrassing" name is contemplating changing it altogether as she feels ashamed saying it out loud at work in front of customers. The female says she doesn't think her name is particularly odd and believes it's quite "normal, basic with a slightly unique spelling".

However, the woman says she has come to despise her name - but she isn't sure why she feels this way, the Mirror reports. Her hatred for it has gotten so bad that she is considering opting for a new nickname that she feels more comfortable with or simply changing her name altogether.

Taking to Reddit to seek some advice on the situation and eager to find out if anyone else can relate to her, the woman - who is named Rylee - wrote: "I'm not entirely sure why I don't like it. Is it normal to hate your own name? I'm so embarrassed to say it, and it feels awful when I say it, too.
