My married name is Georgina Ophelia Cunliffe which, on the surface doesn't seem too bad but please consider:
VARIATIONS
Georgina, Georgie, George, Gee, Gina, Geen, ... Strangely, very few people actually call me Georgina, which I prefer!
NICKNAMES
I'm a redhead so I also get Georginger and Orangina. When I married and my friends heard my new name I became Ophelia C*ntlips! Which had thankfully started to wear off after 7 years!
ACRONYMS
My middle name's Ophelia, which I NEVER used because and my initials before I married were G.O.D. but I am now G.O.C. (which also stands for 'General Optical Council' and I'm an Optometrist!)
I know it's impossible to predict the future but PLEASE be considerate of all variations of a name. Believe me, there will always be one you've not thought of!
