I wish I were called...

[cornishglos]

Tell me what name you would like for yourself. And maybe your partner. So I can hear some names that work beyond the baby years. Thank you.

[LarrytheCucumber]

Emma

[TheTartOfAsgard]

I'm a lucy and it's always seemed quite babyish and flimsy to me. I'd prefer a more solid grown up name like Helen.

[notamummy10]

Elizabeth! I love that name!

[ABitAsleep]

I got stuck with Jessica (the most popular/boring name at the time) becuase my dad wanted something more traditional/normal if my mum had her choice i would have either have been Poppy or Blue!!! No, she was not the Beyonce of the '90s

I do like Poppy, but i don't think i look like a Poppy. However, i would love to have been a Lilly, and think i would suit it :)

[UntilTheCowsComeHome]

I always wanted to be Elizabeth or Victoria just for the choice of nicknames.

Libby
Lilly
Liza
Beth
Tori
Vikki

I'd have loved any of those rather than the boring name I have.

[Areyouquitemad]

My name is Sophie, it's nice and suites me well but my surname makes it sound babyish.

I've always wanted to be a Lydia or a Helen

[NoCapes]

I'm called Katie and I always thought it sounded cutesy and babyish, I wanted to be called Emma, Anna or Mia when i was younger
The older I get I get called Kate more and more so I don't mind that as much

[CodyKing]

I wanted to be Deana! Or Jena or Lucy or anything other than my really dull boring name-

But then I'd have liked to have been called marmalade (showing my age)

[Sophronia]

Katherine / Katharine

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Anna

[MNemonica]

Elizabeth because it's solid, grown-up and has lots of potential shortenings, so lots of scope to "reinvent" according to the image I had of myself.

Alice or Anna for the same reason but without shortening.

[MNemonica]

My partner would be William or Jonathan.

[AuntJane]

Holly Vivienne was veto'd for me. I rather like it.

[RortyCrankle]

I would love to have been called Alexandria instead of a name which no-one today would choose for their daughter. They would prefer Mildred or Edith or Ethel to my name [sniff].

[FelicityR313]

Always wanted to be Deborah, Dervla or Charlotte.

[sonlypuppyfat]

Angharad, wouldn't that be glamorous

[AngharadTheSplendid]

Sonlypuppyfat

[CanadaMoose]

I always thought I'd make a decent Rachel.
For a partner, I like Leo.

[sonlypuppyfat]

Angharad

[GiraffeHouse]

Love my name, wouldn't choose anything else!

[sandgrown]

I wanted to be Francesca. I even wrote it in all my schoolbooks!

[Izzyathome]

Georgia or Julia. (My actual name used to be really old fashioned but now it's all the rage for 6 yr olds, so you never know when you will be back 'in fashion'!)

[SpecialNonOperations]

I'm a Sydney .
I think it's a stripper name.
I would loved to have been a Martha.

[Elllicam]

I actually do like Angharad. I'd call myself Harry :) Otherwise I like Elizabeth (Beth) or Annabel.

[Raines100]

Katherine nn Katie as a child, Kate now.
Or I wouldn't mind being called Alicia (Ali-see-a) or Adela. That would satisfy my desire to have a more exotic name but still retain the first initial of my rl name to which I've grown rather attached
