I hate my first name, but my parents aren't keen on changing it?

You are a Muslim are you? ... Well, I was raised as a Christian, but I'll try to help you all the same. In the Bible we are taught to "Honour thy father and thy mother." There is a similar teaching in your Koran. (yes, I have read that book too.) ......... Regardless of whether you are of a young age or an adult age, you cannot be true to your religion & go against it's teachings whatever you happen to think of them. (This holds true for All religions). ALL young people feel this way at some time or another. If your parents gave you a certain name & refuse to change it, then you must know that that chosen name is 'special' to them for some reason, even if they will not tell you what it is. .. I would be disappointed in your parents if they agreed to change your name. ... If for some reason you have a "Stage-Name" or a "Screen-Name" that is completely different from your Given name, you can justify this by saying that it's for your privacy.security,to protect your real name & so on. This is Not a lie, it is the truth for many people. .... I know I have not given you the answer you wanted, but I do hope that you will better understand & accept your Real name now. ......... (even though you are a muslim)
