My name is Alexandra, but am always Alex which I hate and find that most people assume I am male. Am moving to the North East from the South East Coast in a short while and will know no one so seems like an ideal time to do a name change.
Considered using my middle name - Margaret - bit its too much of a mouthful and don't like Maggie. Makes me think of Thatcher and sounds like haggie, still quite harsh i think.
Would like something more femnine, no female versions of male names but not too twee and little girly please. Surname begins with Ell.... so have to be careful with end of first name. For example Claire Ell... will run together to sound like Clairell.... but Susie Ell... would work.
All help / suggestions appreciated. If it helps i am 40, dark hair, slim, short, more intovert than extrovert.
