So, what name would you have chosen for yourself...in your rl, now...

[ChristmasFairySantAsSLut]

I always loved the names Rebecca/Rebecka and Teresa/Theresa....bearing in mind that in Germany those were unusual names at the time....(seventies)

[AliceTheCamelHasGotTheHump]

Harriet
or
Olivia
or
Lydia

[SuperBunny]

People often call me Rachel, despite my insistence that it is not my name (my name does begin with an R but I am usually known by a shorter version which begins with another letter) which is odd because I always wanted to be Rachel.

My name is ok. Nothing exciting but could be worse.

[KatB]

Ohh feel quite honored reading this thread. I always thought my name was quite dull but obviously other people think it's ok ;)
I'm a Catherine but usually get Kate or Katie so I'm a bit of a mixture!

Quite happy with my name although I wish there weren't so many little Katies running around... very annoying in supermarket!

I always wanted to be called Elizabeth or Alexandra. I like long names x

[PeachyBidsYouNadoligLlawen]

I like the name I have, wouldn't change it. Not rare of posh (Claire) but nonetheless am happy with it.

People call me Amanda if they get my name wrong, quite often in fact. I could be an Amanda but not a Mandy.

If I had to change- Rosemary I think.

[philopastry]

I would like to be called Kate or Anna. My actual name is biblical and common but that's fine with me. If I had been a boy I would have been an Aaron - not sure about that one...

[WhileShosheWatchedHerFlocks]

Hate my name, have always seen myself as a Laura, I have no idea why, and it is not a name I would have called a daughter, far to 'sensible' for me to choose.

[pramspotter]

I was born near christmas and my mother was going to call me Noelle. I am happy with the name she gave me instead.

[snoopdog]

my dad wanted to call me Zoe,

i quite like it,

but my mum objected as i had 'weird' initials

ZW?

not really 'weird' is it?

[TooMuchMakkaPakka]

Hey, people want to be called by my name - it's on this thread more than once!! Feeling good about myself, and my parents .

I always wanted to be a Katherine, a name we considered for DD but ruled out because she would get called Kaf which would really wind me up.

[FrannyandZooey]

franny

of course

[twoluvlysnowmen]

funny, because at dinner time i asked my family to find me a middle name, as i haven't got one.

mt first name start with z, my surname with c.

dd suggested something with an o, so my initials would read ZOC

[llareggub]

I was very nearly Angharad. I wanted to be Annabel after reading Freaky Friday.

[audley]

I was nearly Patricia Winifred, so I'm happy with what I actually got

[whoingodsnameami]

Mum was going to call me Keeley, but she changed her mind.........wish she had'nt.

[tattycoram]

Kate. I have always been a secret Kate.
I do have a very nice classic name though irl, so no complaints really.

[tortoiseshellWasMusicaYearsAgo]

Jessica

[LadyLauraStandish]

I like my name but I always quite fancied being called Juliana or Eliana.

[mediocrebronze]

My name. I like it

[IllegallyBrunette]

I like my name but if I had to of picked another then Louisa.

[higgle]

As my mother nearly called me Heather or Margaret I'll just be happy with what I've got

[AaliyahsFirstXmas]

I'd stick with my name BUT I'd be officially christened the short version of it as I hate the long version and my nan uses the excuse of "that's what you were christened" as a reason for calling me it all the time! lol

[PaddingtonBore]

Jane
Unfrilly, timeless, unshortenable.
I have a horrid, 70s/80s, frilly, with lots of diminutives. oh, and I've no middle name to fall back on.

[Iklboo]

I always wanted to be 'Rachel' - my name is also typically late 60s/70s - there were 4 of us in my class
