Personal experiences with the name Anthony

As a young Anthony I didn't really care for the name. Though when I first heard it in a song, I had to blush - it was both embarrassing and uplifting. I've found many people haven't liked their own name as children. For me, it was just my name, it meant nothing - I neither loved it nor hated it. I wanted to create my own identity and with it my own name. Since then, I've more than grown into it. I'm a composer and I often get told I have a great name for this sort of thing. I don't want to piss in my own pocket but I might have to agree. It seems a pretty rare name nowadays though I always feel a little awkward around other Anthony's. What the hell do I call them?! Not my own name surely! That's weird! ;-)
