Sometimes the problem is the tense:
-My parents call me ...
-They almost call me...
-They want to call me...
-They choose...
-The first time that the name appear...
-I finally discover...
Sometimes we forget the subject:
-I'm happy with my name because is easy.
-because is a family tradition.
-I like my name because isn't common.
There are a couple of problems with the spelling:
-extrange
-wich
Careful with pronouns or possessives:
-I have lived with him (name?)
-Her meaning... (name)
There are words missing or you add an incorrect article. And be careful with capital letters:
-My mother wanted call me ...
-My mother agreed him.
-My father liked the history
-A great lover of the philosophy
Other problems with tenses:
-They decided to called me...
-My mother had always love it.
-If I was a boy my name was...
-They had to decided.
-Both names was joined
Mistakes with prepositions:
-at the end...
-in the list.
Spanish interference with the verb "like":
-The name liked them both.
Keep practising and don't forget mistakes are part of the learning process.
