Rachel or Sadie, I've always loved them but weirdly I didn't choose them for either of my DD's!

Georgia, the name my dad wanted for me. It was very unusual back in those days and my mum picked a much more ordinary name!

Charlotte, instead of being less than 400 on the planet. I know I should be used to my unusual name - but I'm not.

I’ve always wanted to be called Tara.

Moonatics · 17/10/2022 19:32

Genevieve, I already have a wacky, out there name so this would be a breeze. Others I've thought about over the years
Scarlett
Kinsey/Kinsley
Magdalena.
Also toyed with place names.
Devon
Aspen
Cheyenne
Juno
Peyton and others
Main problem is my age, my lack of an outstanding choice hence around 30 names I'd love, none sound even faintly like my real name and I'd forever be wondering who they were talking to until I realised. Would I then have to explain like i do with my real name cos that gets old quick.

caroleanboneparte · 17/10/2022 19:34

Alexandra- something with lots on nicknames I could change throughout my life.

AuntieStella · 17/10/2022 19:35

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

But if forced, then I would probably be Francesca (ka Chessie)

Other possibles: Allegra, Magda, Tallulah

SirMoose · 17/10/2022 19:41

I always wanted to be called Amy.

mamabear715 · 17/10/2022 19:47

I'm happy with my name.
Eldest DD wanted to be called Margaret Asda when she was very young, though.. ;-)
