What would YOU like to be called...?

Is there a name that you wish your parents had called you instead of your actual name...? Would you like to be something a bit more unusual, more ordinary...?

DH wishes he was called 'River'.

Think I'd quite like to be 'Nell'.

Oh yes, all Rebecca's are beautiful, can I swap and be a Rebecca instead?? (obviouslyy being called Rebecca would make me beautiful i'm NOT already, just to be clear.)

Not a Becky though, they are bubbly and slightly irritating, definitely a Rebecca.

Lucy or Sarah

...or Kate

I'd be called something quite timeless and classy like Charlotte, Rebecca or Catherine. I don't like any of the nicknames for those though, which is a problem.

My own name is OK but again I dislike my nickname, which is all I am ever called.

Maybe it's nicknames that are the problem? Try again - I'll be called Lucy.
