Destiny Renee
I like my name, I used to be the only one with it but now it seems like there are 50 Destiny's in my school. Not unique anymore, but still special.
Crystal
Wish I could name my baby Destiny if it's a girl but I've got a cousin Destiny soo no:( boooo!
Nicole
My first name is Destiny but yet it is spelled different as ' Destney ' but pronounced the same way. I never really liked that name because my moms side of the family would always call me that and my dads side calls me Nicole or Cole which was confusing as a kid. Now that I look at it. I love that name and my boyfriend wants to name our daughter Destiny if we ever have kids.
VALERIE
IFIHGT FORE DESTINY.THAT WAS FUNNY.
Destiny
I agree with the other comments, but also people dont believe its your real name so you have to show them ID. BUT the best thing is its always got me an interview because the employer always remembers your name and asks you in for an interview (I've got 9/10 jobs just via my name)

Only for Destinys!
