She says she doesn't mind her name, even if she admitted she can't stand it. She's not a lonely person, but she likes to be alone sometimes, like it happens to everyone.
Unluckily, it's not that easy to change your name if you don't like it. Usually, you have to have a really serious reason to change it. Like for example I was reading a book the other day and one of the characters had this bizarre relationship with her name who was "Saseko", which means ahemmm "b*tch" in Japanese. She had to move to another country to stop being worried about the name LOL

There are other cases in which meaning is a peculiar aspect and in the reality the person is the opposite of that meaning. Let's think about names with horrible meaning like for example "Claudia", which indicates a person not able to walk properly with both legs... You may like the name, but thinking about the meaning a little could be appreciated in cases like this one. At least I think so...
