To want to know the name you would have chosen for yourself as a child ?

[ChristineCagney11]

For me it would have been an animal name
Wolf
Eagle
Striker (bike)
Jess/Jessica

Sabrina.

Cora
georgiana
eloise.
something old fashioned I think and not too commonplace

I wanted to be called Aqua Marina.

Cassie

Jane as a small child; I wanted to be the girl in the Ladybird books.
Something more exotic as a teen, something LOTR probably 😂

Meredith

Sheridan

Carrie, although everyone always points out that that's a horror film😆I've just always liked the name!

@SaskiaRembrandt
Ha ha oh that's fantastic

As a child I wanted to be called Paul, strongly wanted this!

As an adult I sort of wish my parents had gone for a slightly more interesting version of mine already- like Kirsten or Kristen or Kirstie. I just got Kirsty which is fine but always feels almost right

Kizzy.

Loved the book/tv programme.

Melody

Capricia 😂 my son made me call him Thor for awhile.

I always wanted to have a really long name with loads of nicknames I could use. Like Elisabetta or Alexandrina or something equally frilly and OTT!

I have a name no-one could spell or pronounce. Was a really shy kid, and hated the first class of a year when a new teacher would read the register.

I LONGED for a ‘normal’ name. Laura or Kate were among my favourites.

Sarah, I loved the little princess film and love that Sarah, in Hebrew means Princess!

skipper🤣

Something jewel themed like Crystal or Topaz

As a little girl I liked Bernadette or Roberta, as a teenager I would have like Kathryn, shortened to Kate. In fact I wanted my daughter to be called one of those names but my DH vetoed them all.

I wanted to be called Antonia - Toni for short.

Shane.
Obviously I'd need to have changed sex as well.

Camilla Devenzies-Johnson.
No, seriously 😳 🙄
No idea why at 8 years old I wanted to be called that 😆

My name is really unusual. As a child I was teased a lot because of it. I used to tell people my real name was Joanna. I sooo wanted to be called Joanna! Only stopped when I got married and I suddenly realised that my real name was actually very pretty. 😄(still occasionally wish I was called Joanna when telling someone for the umpteenth time how to spell my name correctly)

Davey, after the main character in Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume.

Me too!!
Wanted this from about 12-18. Rather liked my name thereafter. And also being a woman

Josephine, so I could be Jo for short.

I was obsessed with Little Women, and identified with Jo March.
