If you had to change your name (not to anything silly like Profiterolina) what first name would you go for?

Kathryn, but I hate Kath so maybe not. My friends could call me Kate or Katie

Or maybe Elizabeth, I love Beth

I'd actually like a really short common surname like Jones or Smith.

Kate Smith 🤣

VienneseWhirligig · 16/06/2021 21:17

Athena or Demetria. Something a bit longer than my one syllable (Jane type) name.

Mum2jenny · 16/06/2021 21:13

Catherine Jane

GrandmasCat · 16/06/2021 21:13

I’m definitively a Fiona

WhenZoomWasJustAnIceLolly · 16/06/2021 21:12

Anna or Eleanor

LadyWithLapdog · 16/06/2021 21:11

Olympia

I saw two little girls on holiday years ago, Olympia and maybe Calypso or something like that. They were such cuties. I think Olympia would suit any age and I’ve liked it since.

Riapia · 16/06/2021 19:18

Belinda.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 16/06/2021 19:18

Jocelyn. Or Lydia.

romdowa · 16/06/2021 19:03

I love to be something unusual like constance. I've a boring common name and I always felt I needed something bigger and different to fit my personality

MrsCrosbyNRTB · 16/06/2021 19:01

Tabitha or Rosa.

OR something way out like Andromeda, Sapphire or Seraphina

HuntingoftheSnark · 16/06/2021 18:57

Something with one syllable. Faith, Eve, Rose or Blake.

PixieDust28 · 16/06/2021 18:50

chose*

LadyCatStark · 16/06/2021 18:50

Charlotte but always shortened to Charlie.

PixieDust28 · 16/06/2021 18:50

I don't think I would actually.

I like my name. It's not common, well in the UK anyway and I think I suit it.

My mums other name choices were Jordan and China so I was in fact very lucky with what she choose to call me.

Honestly... her hormones clearly messing with her head.

MargotHeggerty · 16/06/2021 18:44

Vivienne
Vanda
Gigi

DPotter · 16/06/2021 18:42

Eleanor or Rose - think I could carry off either of them. I definitely couldn't carry off Freya which is the other name I wanted for DD, but it is a lovely strong name.

My name dates me to a precise 3 year period in the early 60s and I feel the nickname is very little girly.

LikeTheOceansWeRise · 16/06/2021 18:31

Ohh I like Rosa too! Or Ella. Or Olivia. My name is very eighties (not Louise though Wink)
