'I'm named after a luxury clothing brand - it's tacky and embarrassing'

While we can't choose our names from birth, we always have an option to change them later in life. That's exactly what one woman is planning to do - but she has no idea what she wants to change her name to. She explained how she is named after a luxury clothing brand and it has caused her no end of problems throughout her life.

Taking to Reddit , she said: "My sister named me and my mother and father were dumb enough to listen to her. My family likes my name and so do some people at school but I literally hate my name. I sometimes got picked on for my name as well.

" The woman is named Armani after the Italian luxury fashion house founded by Giorgio Armani - but claims it doesn't suit her personality in the slightest. She added: "I don't fit it. I don't like how it's spelt or how I say it.

I don’t really want to say my name [because of] how embarrassing and tacky it is." She went on to explain how her family now all call her by a nickname - but her classmates continue to use her real name. I really want to change my name when I'm older and spoke to my mother and sister about this and they got upset and said that my name is fine," she said.

I don't really speak about it to them anymore as I don't want to make them upset." She is unable to go by her middle names - Catherine and Anne - because they belong to her grandmothers and she claims she doesn't suit them either. The woman added: "If I did want to change my name I have no idea what to.

My personality is quite shy and quie.
