If you could choose your own name

[VintageLace]

What would it be?

[burgatroyd]

Great question. I love my own name. Monosyllabic, strong, simple. Thanks mum! Possible something similar.

Beth, Tess...

As a kid I loved krissie and Joely.

Both dds names are far more fussy, pretty affairs. Mmmmm.....

[Dizzywhore]

I love my name, wouldn't change it!

[Molotov]

I like my real name very much as it is classic and timeless (that is what it is usually called on here, anyway!)

I would possibly choose Helena (pronounced 'hel-ay-na), Kate or Jennifer as an alternative.

[EvilHerbivore]

I'd probably choose something a bit less common (as in 'popular') there were 4/5 of us in my year, something easy to pronounce and spell but still something classless/timeless but where I'd be the only on in an orgasnisation, any suggestions?!

[TheNumberfaker]

Susannah. It's beautiful. My real name is ugly!

[Angelto5]

I don't mind my rl name-it's not that common & I don't think it's ever been in fashion.
Not sure what I would have preferred. Maybe Rachel or when I was younger I liked the name Kerry.

[Angelto5]

Except Kerry rhymes with my married name so maybe not!!!

[WhereBeThatBlackbirdTo]

I hate my name and often think about changing it.

I like Kate or maybe my middle name of Lucy

[Sophronia]

Katharine.

[CPtart]

Natalie. Which is what I was going to be called ironically, if my DMs best friend hadn't beaten her to it!

[Angelto5]

I think my mom said that my dad wanted to call me Alison. Which I wouldn't of minded

[combust22]

Stevie. Lovely as a girl's name. Could be a burden though so I didn't use it for my own daughter.

[TheScottishPlay]

I really do love my name. Also like Helen and Kate.

[YellowStripe]

I hate my name - the way it looks, the way it sounds (harsh, Germanic) and the way it's spelt.

And yet at 47, I have no idea what I would change it to! I don't know what name I 'look' like. Something like Joanne maybe .....

[Spottybra]

Depends what age I am when you ask me
Age 6- Summer
Age 10- Julia or Juliette
Age 12-Giselle (not ballet mad at all)
Age 14-26 - the nn I had that everyone adopted as my real name.
Age 26 + - Tess, Clara or Eleanor. Something that doesn't date.

[MamaLazarou]

Albertine.

I do like my real name, though: it's classy and glamorous.

[CruCru]

Probably my own name.

If I could't choose that, then either Claudia (DD's name) or Miriam.

[ThinkIveBeenHacked]

I just wish my parents had been brave enough to give me my middle name (Nadine) first and my ten-a-penny put in second place.

[ApplebyMennym]

I don't like my full name so chose my nickname - it has been mentioned here! Very fond of it.

[HecatePropylaea]

Actually, I have begun to think of myself as Hecate. Which is rather disturbing.

I think Naomi is nice. I was supposed to have had Naomi as my middle name but my mum changed her mind at the moment of registering me (she claims she forgot my name but I know the truth ) and I got Maria instead.

[Gugglebum]

Oh, almost anything else! Not at all a fan of my name. Today I feel like I'd be a Sophie or a Helene (Hel-EEN). Or Georgia.

[Alita7]

I think I'd just keep my own name I really like it and it suits me!

[ComeHeather]

Clare or Ruth, most likely.

Or possibly Katharine.

My RL name is THE girl's name of the 1970s :(

[306235388]

Mairead

[Batmansbuttocks]

Fanny. You'd never be short of a conversation piece
