I like my name which has been mentioned on here, so I wouldn’t want to change it, but if I did, I would be Laura.

toomuchlikemyusername · 17/10/2022 21:09

I would like to be called Robin.

And for a surname I'd like to be a Fitzpatrick. No idea why, just a surname I like.

KangarooKenny · 17/10/2022 21:10

When I was little I wanted to be called Jennifer.

Growing up I wished I was a Kelly. Now Claudia or Olivia or maybe Auerelia

Adrienne or Natasha. I would be poised, sexy and confident with if I had these names. I would probably wear bright red lipstick too 😁

LearnerCook · 18/10/2022 00:53

Eilidh. Catherine. Amanda. So many names I would like!

TheOnlyBeeInYourBonnet · 18/10/2022 01:05

Summer.

I was born in summer, love the weather. I associate the name with freedom and happiness, and in a person I associate it with being young, pretty and approachable (things I am not, so am hoping the name would make me so Grin).

DoubleShotEspresso · 18/10/2022 01:05

Mountbatten Grin

BobbysGirly · 18/10/2022 01:37

Angle…. Just so the growing number of posters, who can’t spell, read it and understand something nobody else will 😂

Is this the time to mention “Of”. I’d quite like to be named “Of” … I could Of, I would Of, I may Of, I should Of… I find it exciting what “Of” would be capable of doing but didn’t 🥴 Why didn’t Of just do it? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Meh! 😏

DramaAlpaca · 18/10/2022 01:44

I like my name. It's actually my middle name. But I've always quite fancied being a Caroline - even though it really wouldn't suit me at all Confused

mackthepony · 18/10/2022 02:08

Susannah but NO ONE is allowed to call me Sue or even worse, Susie

Watchthesunrise · 18/10/2022 02:18

I'd change last name to something like Getty or Vanderbilt or Cardogan

Watchthesunrise · 18/10/2022 02:19

Cadogan sorry

Forgottenmypasswordagain · 18/10/2022 02:24

I have changed my" name that I wished were mine" over the years. I loved the name Lisa for years.

I like the name Laura best at the moment.

FeralWitch · 18/10/2022 02:34

Kate.

Smileandtheworldsmileswithyou · 18/10/2022 02:37

Eliza

Alex Drake · 18/10/2022 02:48

I'm a boring Sarah

When I was younger though I wanted to be a Lynn, my daughters would be Olivia, Sara, Melanie and Charlene

HRTQueen · 18/10/2022 03:19

I really like my name (and my surname and double barrelled it when married)

if I had to as I needed to go undercover it would change it to Layla

my name is quite unusual when I was younger wanted to be called Cherie and would often tell people that was my name 😬
