GTKY - First names!

celestialnyte

I'm a little bored. .. so ladies -

 If you could change your first name to anything, what would it be and why??

 

Mine would be Brandy. My parents narrowed it down to 3 - Brandy, Abigail and Victoria. 

My dad wanted Brandy because of the song "Brandy" (You know..the one that goes  Brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be. But my love, my life and my lady is the sea So if I could change my name it would be to Brandy. I love that name.

And, if DH and I ever have a girl, her name will be Abigail. My mom wanted Abigail so badly that each of my 3 younger sisters were also going to be named Abigail, but family situations came about each time she was pregnant and they named all 3 of my little sisters after family members that had passed away.

I think I would choose Emma, I really like that name. 

Ivana_Stolichnaya

Alyssa - Named after the flower Alyssum..at least that's what my mom told me.  I would not change it.

Mother Meghan

Wow you have some interesting family history with baby names!

I don't know if I would even change my name! I've really grown to like it. Although, my mom thought about naming me Erin, but it was the real name of a girl who was an actress at the time (same last name) and she didn't want me to feel like I was named after her for some reason. But I think Erin is a pretty name nonetheless... I've always wondered what would be different if they had named me Erin instead of Meghan

ETA: I wondered what would be different if they named me ERIN, not ERIC lol.

Frankenstein!  I used this same answer either earlier this week or at the end of last week when it was asked.  (Bonus points if you get the reference, no one got it last time.)

 Ok really though, I don't think I would.  But if I absolutely had to, like if I was going into witness protection or something... I would choose Olivia or Livia and go by Liv.  I am loving the name Liv right now, but it is not a family name so I will not use it for any future children.

I would change mine to Erin. I always liked it, though it's not a name we would use for a LO

It was either a 2ww, Waiting to O, or Kita's Question of the Day... I can't remember.  No biggie!

Mine would be Olive.  Like Olive Oil from Popeye.  I know it sounds funny but everyone called me Olive Oil as a teenager and I grew to like the name Olive. 

I wasn't crazy about my real name since a huge celebrity has the same exact one, first and last, but now that I am married I feel a little more normal but much more spanish thanks to H's last name.

Oh and H does not like the name Olive at all, so no DD named Olive over here.  We have such a spanish last name that Olive would just sound ridiculous with it.

I always wanted my middle name, Marie, to be my first name since my first name and my maiden name are super common. When I filled out those credit card applications to get free stuff in college I put Rebecca Johnson on all of them.

I really like my name but if I had to change it I would choose to be named Megan. Simple and classic If it would have been up to my dad, my name would be Roxanne! I definitely don't think I have the personality to be a Roxanne...I'm definitely a Jessica!

Me too!! ( in regards to the Teen Mom ticker)

MySweetBaboo

I actually like my name and though common, I really haven't known many in my life: Heather.  I don't think I would change mine.

Laouli

I'm pretty happy with Laurel I've only ever met 2 other Laurel's in my life

Now, I always wanted to change my middle name which is Ruth but now I like it...

SParkman80

I've always liked the name Sydney but I don't think DH and I would use if for our LO. It's my 3rd choice so maybe... If we have 3 girls.

That's my sisters name!!

SandNSurf

I'm having dejah vu (or however you spell that). I have no idea where this question was asked... but I don't remember what I said in response.. 

I would change my name to the smug face symbol  and then people would have to call me that TTGPer formerly known as Sand.  

sekura

I would change my first name to Meridian if I could.  Its the name of the town my grandfather lived in, and I've always thought it was beautiful.  I use it as one of my primary internet screen names (besides Sekura).  My real name is Janice, which I hate; I go by Jan.

Lilleybug

I dont think I would change my name as I am pretty happy with Lindsey. I cannot picture myself being any other name.

While my name (Jessica) is so not original, and because it's so common, I really don't mind it.  Just not Jessie...Not a Jessie over here.  My mom almost named me Rebecca, and I get called that A LOT surprisingly by people that have forgotten my name.  Maybe that's a sign...
