What name would you choose to rename yourself?

[MistleTOEboughski]

If name changing were as easy in real life as on MN? I can't decide myself but my dd chose Avery. What would you choose and why?

Kate. I’ve always fancied being a Kate.

Yes Kate is a good name.

I have one of the most common names for someone my age and i hate it. I wish i had something more unusual, maybe something french sounding like emmeline or Cecelia

I really like my name, but when I was a child I wanted to be called Lucinda.

Athena or Diana, both sound classy.

Kate/Kat
Lucy
Vicky

Katherine, Hannah or Hallie

Rosie or Jess

I have one of the most common names for someone my age and i hate it.
Dd has a very popular name and that has put her off it, even though she kindly said she does still like her name but she wished she didn't have 3 others with the same name in her class.

I'm choosing Annabelle. nn Anna

Alice it’s my middle name. I hate my first name and have always wished it had been the other way around.

name changed (obviously) but as someone named Kate - spelled slightly differently but same name - I'm very flattered

I think I'd probably go for Cleo, or Diane. I like strong names.

Alex. Always loved the name. I look like an Alex too.

Nancy
When I was younger I want to be called Nancy or Kim.

I really like my name so wouldn’t change, but if I had to I would be Laura.

I renamed myself. I chose a first name that written is very similar to the name I was raised with, but is pronounced in a entirely different way. Having a different sound was very important to me - it was the sound of the name I grew up that repelled me - and having an entirely different language origin and meaning that I liked was part of it - I've quite liked how the shift of a letter created something so new, like a slight shift in myself changed who I am too. I also like how it lends itself to multiple pleasant nicknames for such a short name, whereas the name I was raised with, the nicknames are pretty naff.

For middle names, I considered my different heritages and went for names with meanings that resonated with me. I kept my first 2 initials the same, and kept the second middle name a family name (and still a gemstone) just a different family member that I valued continuing on more.

If I had to rerename myself, I'd probably do similar - there are other names that could be made with a letter or two difference and I've actually since found some more resources on my family tree so I'd have even more family names to pick from.

Felicity. NN Lissy.

My mother actually wanted to name me this, but my dad said no as everyone would call me Felix the cat (which I wouldn't have minded). My dad's choice was Alison. I am neither of those names.

Isabella known as Izzy, or maybe Flora.

I like my name though.

I really like my name, wouldn't change it.

Adeline love the name.. would of been called this if I could choose. It’s what DS would of been called if a girl. Never know may get to use it. Also like the names Penny or Erika.

I wish I was a Frankie

Stevie, I used to want to be called Shannon when I was young

Agatha. Nickname Aggie.

Gwendolyn

Fiona
Love that name
