OK, so following on from another name, if you could change your name to anything, what would it be?

[cumbria81]

My name is Megan. Not too offensive. But I have always wanted to be called Eloise. Bit late now.

What about you?

OOOOOOH I would like to be called Poppy

idgie

Ruby. I'd love to be a Ruby.

I would be Ondine - hence that's the name I chose as my username as well as I like the meaning.

My real life name is not half as good, in fact it's a bonafide chav name in the UK even though I'm not from here originally... oh well to late to swop now.

Isabel - or maybe Juliet.

Princess Conswella Banana Hammock

Honeydragon has been watching a lot of fried Green Tomatoes me thinks

I would love to be Persephone.

My DD's name. But failing that, the OP's name - Megan. In fact when I was in nursery I would only answer to the name Megan apparently at home and at nursery because of the Thorn Birds programme which I don't even remember now.

But I still like the name and I don't think my boring and typically 80s name suits me.

In fact, when people say my name I am not always sure they are talking to me if that makes sense as it really doesn't feel like my name.

But, do you get that with other people when you see them as a "Helen" or a "Jane" for some reason when their name is completely different? I do sometimes!

florence - read the book watched the movie and thought thats the name for me - dh quite rightly would never let me call dd that

Esmeralda

Serena - maybe I would then magically become so

I like Vivien. My name is so blah. People often call me one of the other names popular for my generation that begin with the same letter.

I would become a Kate-chose it for my DD because it seems such a simple elegant name-always feel if I had been a Kate I would have sailed through life being gorgeous and self-assured....

When I was younger my name was rare and unusual. Now it is common as muck and I hear it everywhere

I'd love to change it (this thread has got me thinking!) but have no idea what to - might have to get the baby names book out again

I like Ilse or Ursula. Or Alexandra.

I don't mind my name. I was supposed to be called John.

I would keep my name. It is an excellent name .

If I was forced to change it, I would choose Gloria.

Louise

Phoebe - old family name fell in love with it when I was 10, DH wouldn't let me use it for DD1, said I could for DD2 but she didn;t look like one - wished I had though!

My current name is too pretty for me, I don't think I suit it.

I'd love to change it to Kate or maybe Naomi. And if I ever divorced DH, I'd change my surname to Brodie.
