Cool-ify your name- game

Helenahhandbasket · December 2013

Game time?

How would you change/ modify your FN to make it "cooler"? For example, Vivian could become Zoe (both names mean "life") or Lauren could be Laurel or Lorelei.

My given name is Heather. If I were going to change my name to make it cooler I would change it to Hadley, because Hadley means "heather field" on Old English.

If you don't want to use your IRL FN, use your middle or part of your screen name.

Jennifer - Ginevra (Italian version)

I love Italian names and always wished I had one and wished we chose them for our boys. But could never get my husband to agree due our very italian last name and his experience growing up with a full out name like that.

Oooh I kind of like that! It has foreign appeal and sort of crusty old lady appeal (it makes me think of Minerva).

Cara- Carissa

Julia gets frillified to become Juliette or Juliana, neither of which I like as much as my real name. Or I could do an Italian twist and become Giulia.

Deborah- Mischa, both mean "bee"

My name is Olivia. It means olive tree. So nothing cool like your guys' names.
I do like the name Olive though.

Well, Olivia is sort of already a cool-ish name beacuse of all of the recent popularity.

Maybe Livia? Or Lavinia?

LolaCola29 · December 2013

Lola = Lolyta, The Y makes it super cool right?

Nuclearcupcake · December 2013

Katie- I would make it Katherine! It's more professional sounding IMO. My parents figured they were going to call me Katie anyway so why name me Katherine?

My IRL name means "beautiful" in Yiddish. I decided to search Gaelic names with the same meaning. I would pick Aofie as my "cool-ified" my name. And in other news I just fell through a BTN rabbit hole lusting over Irish names to name my non-existent daughter

You're not alone in that rabbit hole.

DaisyDuck40 · December 2013

I'll use my middle name which is Joelle since someone used my first name.(male form is Joel) and it means "Jehovah is God". It's French.

Variations.

Joela, Joelin, Joell, Joella, Joellen, Joelliane, Joellin, Joelly, Joellyn, Joelynn, Joetta, Jowella, Jowelle.....

Okay then.... I don't really like any of these but I would pick Joetta out all of them.

My real FN is Sarah I would go with Xara which means Shining Flower. I also love names that start with X.

macska3 · December 2013

Maybe Hope, because that's what my name means.

homediva · December 2013

My name is Jasmine so I guess Yasmin or Jessamyn would make it a bit different....or sticking with flower as a theme to make it modern, it could be Poppy!

I absolutley adore Keeley. I am always pimping it out here.

aprilbaby2014 · December 2013

I would use Maisie (same meaning as FN) or Maria (alternative to MN)

strawberrytree · December 2013

My name is the Irish form of Catherine, so I will change countries and go with the Russian version. Ekaterina, nn Katya. When I was about 11 I wished this was my name (sometimes I still do).

mh89 · December 2013

My name is Molly, which means bitter and is originally a nickname of Mary. I don't know if Mary is considered a "cooler" name… so I'll just go with my middle name Rose, which I like better than Molly anyway.

Belle3184 · December 2013

Not too much comes to mind for Kimberly. Kind of boring and I have an unearthly hatred for the nn Kim. I don't think it has cool potential, haha.

Laura-Lowri

brownmouse · December 2013

I would change Rebecca to Rebekah because I like the spelling better. I'm boring.

First person I've ever met with my name! Even if it is your MN. It got me exited.

Also I've always had people either spell my nane/say my name as one of the variations listed... So they all irk me lol

gfam23 · December 2013

I'm Angela... I would change it to any of the other variants. ... Angel, Angelina, Angelica, Anjelica.

I always disliked my name as well as the nn Angie. Just saw that it was supposedly in the top 10 during the late 60s through the 70s. This surprises me as I've met hardly anyone with my name IRL.

janda426 · December 2013

My name is Alessandra... There's a billion nn I can think of and I go by Ally, I wish people would use my whole name

diamondduck13 · December 2013

Elizabeth is my MN. A name app I have says it means sister of mark.

So I'm going with Xoco, an Aztac name meaning youngest sister according to that same app.

Cause names with x's are the coolest.

This. Also when I flipped from Becky to a more "adult" nickname in high school- I went with Bekah instead of Becca. It just looks more awesome.

olenkapdx · December 2013

My name is Elizabeth and honestly, I can't think how my name could be any cooler.

Seriously there are a thousand nicknames to choose from. (Except Beth...never Beth.)

My name is Lisa, which is technically a nn for Elizabeth. One of the diminutives for Elizabeth is Lilia which is the only 'Lil' name that I like. So I'd be Lilia.
