Comment left Jun 19, 2008: "My name is Whitney and I LOVE IT!!! I think it fits my personality. Although, I hate when people always say, Whitney Houston. I was born (1981) before she was popular. My mother actually got the name from a character off of a sitcom. I think it's such a unique name!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 02, 2008: "I was named Whitney after Whitney Houston, because my parent's theme song at the time was by her, in 1991. I have never met another Whitney, and I think it's quite an original name. I get complimetns for it, and it pretty much makes up for my screwed up family name. Although I get alot of people asking me to sing songs by Whitney Houston, and I have to explain to many people that I just can't sing at all." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 26, 2008: "I totally love my name. Very seldom do I meet another Whitney. I often get called Britney or Wendy. Eh, its just something I deal with. I was named after Whitney Houston. My mom wanted to name me Crystal and my dad told her no because every time he thought of that word he always thought of meth. So, Whitney Houston was popular in 1987 and my mom heard one of her songs on the radio and my dad agreed. So yea, Whitney was spur of the moment, but I love it!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 15, 2008: "My name is Whitney-Jane... People get it confused a lot and have no idea how to spell it... It is growing on me. I'm from New Zealand and there are a few others my age that have this name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 19, 2008: "I love my name! I have only ever met one other Whitney and he was American whereas i am Australian and a girl. People always comment on how beautiful it is and almost always spell it wrong. I get Britney, Courtney, Tiffany, many, many others but am not fazed, i wouldn't change my name for anything!"

Comment left Aug 07, 2007: "I am white, and I hate my name. Since we moved to South Jersey, everyone asks me why I am a white girl but have a black name. Black people seem to resent the fact that I have this name for some reason. I would like to change my name to Britney." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Aug 07, 2007: "Name sounds like a pushy bratty piggy girl. This could simply be my opinion because when I was growing up, the only girl I knew named Whitney was pushy bratty and mean. She was cute, and skinny, but mean!" (Report as inappropriate)
