I would have liked to have been called by my user name. Elodie Nine. I could have made something of myself .

Surely we could all change our names if we wanted to?

I've often considered using my very unusual middle name, but I feel that I've finally settled into my first name now, and like the abbreviation I use, so I'm sticking with it.

I’d love to be called Cleo, it would sound so good with my surname!
I actually think this is a good question to ask yourself when naming a baby, you might like the name and think it sounds amazing but would you actually want to be called it yourself?
