I always loved the names Rebecca/Rebecka and Teresa/Theresa....bearing in mind that in Germany those were unusual names at the time....(seventies)

I love my name.

I wish I was called Jennifer. Would have been nice to at least have the option of the longer (and more elegant) version.

I'd like my middle name to be my first as my first is nice, but common and my middle name is dead pretty.

I guess Louise? Wish I had a nice name like that. for me, think 65 and boring

I'd like to be called something glamorous and unusual.
(my name is very ordinary and quite 70's I think:
Clue: my mothers second choice of name for me was Christine.)

I can't imagine being anything else than what I am but then I have no imagination.

Also no sense of self image so not sure what I would suit iyswim. People vary it themselves anyway...it has options thankfully.

Hate my name with a passion. Always dreamed of changing it. Do adults do this really? How? Good Q re chosing one - would love a new name. Mine is one of the worst ever. Thanks mum
