If you fancied renaming yourself...

[Wishuponastarr]

Which name would you pick and why?

I quite fancy being a Madeleine because my name is short and a bit cutesy, and I fancy something longer but not too frilly.

[BreakfastAtSquiffanys]

I'd be a Dorothea, but everyone would call me Thea

[redmini4]

Emilia. It's a name I've always loved. Although when I was younger I would have said Winona because it's so unusual and I love Winona Ryder.

[17caterpillars1mouse]

Anouk Phoebe

[dinosaurkisses]

Catherine.

I have a horrible 80’s monstrosity which pins my year of birth really obviously. I wish I had a lovely classic name.

[drinkingteawhenitshot]

Tess! Simple, classic, easy to spell, doesn't date (in my opinion.)

[BirthdayKake]

Lauren (even though it's the name of DP's ex! Gutted we can't use it for a baby name 😂)

[noselimit]

Hi Kayleigh

I would be James or Layla

[annandale]

I love my name... but in moments when I want to be someone else I tend to go for Alison.

[DamsonPie]

As a child I wanted to be called Joanna so I could use Jo for short. I still wish I had a classic name. My name pins me very firmly as lower class and born in the 70s.

[caringiscreepy]

Jamie I think, or Cleo

[MalloryLaurel]

Mallory Laurel
Or
Rosa
Or
Elenna

[Trialsmum]

Charlotte nn Charlie.

[TheMarshwiggle]

Emma or Amy.
Simple, classic, easy to say and spell, popular for my generation

[Laska5772]

Anna (or Annie)

Would suit me I think classic and timeless

(When i was about 13 I wanted to be a Vanessa which would have dated to its 1970s time period .. )

I have a very common name for my age group (born late 50's) which hasn't had a comeback since.. there were 5 of us in our class

[greencatbluecat]

I have a name of my mother's generation (she was born during WW2). I have always disliked my name for that reason. Although I have come to terms with it over the years.

I used to like Catherine or Cathy when I was a little girl. I like Christina or Chris and Suzanne too.

[Wilberforce2]

I don't mind my name but whenever I've used a fake one (not often) I've always used Laura or Emma!!

[thirdday]

I'd like to be an Elle or something short. My name is a 3 syllable name and I've always fancied a short one.

[haribosmarties]

Id love to be called something completely over the top but pretty like Olympia or Anoushka.... I think its because my mum really wanted to call me Emerald but was prevented by my dad!

[Racecardriver]

I thi k I would make a nice Evalina or Katarina. Or possible sonething like Estella or Minerva.

[Queenbee93]

Mary
It's so beautiful and classy. So much history behind the name!

[katseyes7]

l love Sarah, but if l could go completely off the rails l'd be Chelsea Dagger.

[FawnDrench]

Meredith or Imogen

[PamBeeslysCardigan]

I’d like to be Lara or Elizabeth. I really hate my peak 80s and very common name.

[dinosaurkisses]

@noselimit not Kayleigh but you’re close! 😂

[BevBrook]

I love my name and it has already been mentioned on this thread. But if I was to be another name I would pick Laura. There are names I like better but they don’t feel like me, whereas Laura does.
