I think we need to know your first name to make any recommendations.

If you want to blend in then pick something common e.g. Smith, Miller etc

If you want something that links to your past then use a maiden name from your mum/grandmother etc. Or a link to a culture e.g Goldman, McKenzie, O'Reilly.

If you want something fabulous then go wild. I knew someone who's surname was Gauntlett, I thought that was a good one

Alba? Means dawn....

Nova? New

Funny someone has said McKenzie, i’ve always said that’s the name i’d choose.

My friends surname is Philips I always thought that's sounds nice for some reason.

Ooh, would go for an A sound. I think alliterative names can sound so cool if you get the right one, and as your first name is fairly short, you could have a longer surname.

Please do come back and let us know what you went for!

I've always liked the idea of doing this.

I think Nova is a great suggestion and Amy Nova sounds good 😊

Amy Darling - A. Darling. No-one could ever say your name with
an angry tone and how could it not brighten your life to be known as a darling. Smile

I've always wanted to do this. Never have. I hope you find something!

I've been thinking about changing mine but I've no idea what to go for!

What kind of vibe are you going for? What kind of person are you?

Whatcanisayexceptyourewelcome · 06/11/2018 21:03
