If you could rename yourself...

==N== · February 2014

What would you choose? Or would you keep your own name? Many of the names I like for girls aren't necessarily something I think would fit on me. Usually when I don't want to use my real name for something I call myself Sabrina. I also think I would make a good Esme.

catahoulatte · February 2014

When I was in HS I wanted to be Teresa. When I was a kid I wanted to be called Marissa, since that was almost my name.

I don't think I would change it now. Idk. It would be fun to play around with different names though since there are so many beautiful girl names out there. Maybe Mirielle or Juliet?

Helenahhandbasket · February 2014

I don't like my name, but wouldn't ever change it because it's such a part of my identity.

IF I were going to change it, I would probably pick the name Sarah. That's what I used to name all of my dolls.

Catherine

ThereBeDragons · February 2014

I always wanted to be a Samantha growing up. I'm pretty attached to my name now though- but I might change the spelling to Rebekah instead of Rebecca

Skeemer · February 2014

I've always had a huge name crush on Rebekah. But the truth is my name really really fits me & it's not a popular name.

nittanyllama · February 2014

I'm a Nicole. I've always been one of multiple Nicoles wherever I go... school, work, moms group, etc. I HATE that.

Obviously no one would realistically change their name now, but hypothetically speaking I would. I'd want something more unique, like Phoebe or Ingrid or Vera or Gretchen.

NerdyLucy · February 2014

Lucy? Only because DH calls me that already. It started as a joke, but now I answer to it normally when he does use it.

Really though, it's hard to imagine truly being another name. If I had to pick our of my girl list, I'd choose Julia, I guess.

Heh, my name's Juliet and I wouldn't change it. I mean, there are girl names I love and am sad I will never get to use, but I can't imagine any of them as my own.

plus12012 · February 2014

I'm a Sarah Elizabeth just like the thousands of others out there. I have no idea what name I would choose but, it would be nice to have something not quite so common.

queenbone · February 2014

Fiona. I definitely used it as my bar name in my 20s.

I love Fiona so much. My own name fits me well though representing my Scottish/Irishness.

MagFranklin13 · February 2014

My name is Margaret but have only ever gone by Maggie I would just change it to Maggie

FWIW, your name is Lucy in my head even though I know your actual name

Because of DH calling me Lucy and it being my name here, it wouldn't be the most difficult transition, at least not compared to some other random name.

mc0113 · February 2014

I like my name, just not how popular it is within my age group. As a kid, I named like all of my dolls Gabrielle. I just love it.

emmy236 · February 2014

Growing up I liked being an Emily. I was the only one in my grade. Then the late 90s happened. Now I wish my mom had gone more old school or something like Elizabeth because I would totally rock the NN Birdie or Betty

EXL311 · February 2014

I would change it to Seraphina. It just sounds beautiful and easier to pronounce than my name.

Lulu80301 · February 2014

I wouldn't change it. I'm Lauren, and not only do I love my name, but it totally fits me.

PB&J714 · February 2014

I would keep my name. I really can't imagine myself as anything else.

orangecrush32 · February 2014

I used to hate my name growing up. Now I couldn't imagine having a different name, but I used to make a lot of screen names with the name Jaden. I liked it before it was popular for a boy haha. So probably that. Or maybe just Jade.

Kmommy91 · February 2014

My name is Kristin. If I could rename myself it would be Calla. I have this on our list and I am totally in love with it at the moment.

My husband's name is Zadok, and he says he wishes his name was Bartholomew. I know he has this in mind if we have a boy next. We'll see...

NerdyLucy · February 2014

Oh, wait! I want to add that maybe I would rename myself Margot.

Dr.Loretta · February 2014

I like my name, but I also really like my mom's name

Milkandcookies00 · February 2014

I would be an Eloise or Adelaide.

MinnesotaMomma91 · February 2014

Im another Lauren. I hated my name growing up, i thought it was boring. Now i love it, its a part of my identity.

But if i had to rename myself Id probably go with Honor. I love virtue names and i love the book Beauty, wheres Beauty is just a nick name and her actual name was Honor.

I love my middle name because ive never met another girl with the middle name Alisa(pronounced A-lisa with a hard a) ive had a few people think my parents just mispelled Alyssa.

mh89 · February 2014

It's too late to change my name now, but if I did I'd probably go by my middle name instead, which is Rose.

MississippiCatfish · February 2014

My name is Angela. Growing up, my favorite name was Millie. I still love it. I think I'd make a good Genevieve:). Wouldn't change mine though.

macska3 · February 2014

My name is Nadia and I used to hate it. I'm warming up to it more and more, but as a kid I really didn't like Nadia. I always wanted to be called (the American form of) my middle name, which is Elisabeth. I've always loved that more than Nadia and I guess I still do, but I wouldn't change it.

Also, I was almost named Veronica. I'm a little mad at my mom for not choosing Veronica haha

whoberry · February 2014

When I was a teenager I wanted to be either Roxanne/Roxy or Lucy. When I was a kid I wanted to be Sherri which was one of the names my parents considered but didn't use. Now I don't know what I would change my name to.

bcnoelle · February 2014

I'm a Noelle. When I was in elementary/middle school I felt it would have been easier to be a trendier Melissa or Kristen...or a name you could get a souvenir on. But I grew out of that quickly. Really like my name now.

April. It's an alright name, but I kid you not, I've been called April by tons of people. People who know my name and people who don't because I guess I look like an April. It's become comical now, how many people call me April. (And it sounds nothing like my real name)
