What name would you choose to rename yourself?

[MistleTOEboughski]

If name changing were as easy in real life as on MN? I can't decide myself but my dd chose Avery. What would you choose and why?

[Thistles24]

Kate. I’ve always fancied being a Kate.

[MistleTOEboughski]

Yes Kate is a good name.

[Fishingforhappiness]

I have one of the most common names for someone my age and i hate it. I wish i had something more unusual, maybe something french sounding like emmeline or Cecelia

[Imissmoominmama]

I really like my name, but when I was a child I wanted to be called Lucinda.

[VienneseWhirligig]

Athena or Diana, both sound classy.

[InsertRudeWord]

Kate/Kat
Lucy
Vicky

[CuntasarusRex]

Katherine, Hannah or Hallie

[PeskyRooks]

Rosie or Jess

I have one of the most common names for someone my age and i hate it.
Dd has a very popular name and that has put her off it, even though she kindly said she does still like her name but she wished she didn't have 3 others with the same name in her class.

[Spied]

I'm choosing Annabelle. nn Anna

[Angel2702]

Alice it’s my middle name. I hate my first name and have always wished it had been the other way around.

[katesaregreat]

name changed (obviously) but as someone named Kate - spelled slightly differently but same name - I'm very flattered

I think I'd probably go for Cleo, or Diane. I like strong names.

[MrsSmith2021]

Alex. Always loved the name. I look like an Alex too.

[Tier10]

Nancy
When I was younger I want to be called Nancy or Kim.

[FenEel]

I really like my name so wouldn’t change, but if I had to I would be Laura.

[BiBabbles]

I renamed myself. I chose a first name that written is very similar to the name I was raised with, but is pronounced in a entirely different way. Having a different sound was very important to me - it was the sound of the name I grew up that repelled me - and having an entirely different language origin and meaning that I liked was part of it - I've quite liked how the shift of a letter created something so new, like a slight shift in myself changed who I am too. I also like how it lends itself to multiple pleasant nicknames for such a short name, whereas the name I was raised with, the nicknames are pretty naff.

For middle names, I considered my different heritages and went for names with meanings that resonated with me. I kept my first 2 initials the same, and kept the second middle name a family name (and still a gemstone) just a different family member that I valued continuing on more.

If I had to rerename myself, I'd probably do similar - there are other names that could be made with a letter or two difference and I've actually since found some more resources on my family tree so I'd have even more family names to pick from.

[EggyPegg]

Felicity. NN Lissy.

My mother actually wanted to name me this, but my dad said no as everyone would call me Felix the cat (which I wouldn't have minded). My dad's choice was Alison. I am neither of those names.

[Camomila]

Isabella known as Izzy, or maybe Flora.

I like my name though.

[PollyPorcupine]

I really like my name, wouldn't change it.
