    I do like my name, but I'd change it to Hanna if I had to change it. Hana Solo was my very first steady character I created (Who has now being with me 7 years) and yes she did start as female Han Solo XD. She's far from that now though, thankfully.

    Anyhow, being a bit of a fameaphobe, if I ever publish, it'll be under the name Hanna. Not sure what last name to choose though.

    I want to add St. John to my name. When I was confirmed that was the year the Church no longer required a Confirmation Name and I was PISSED!

    But that’d be a Confirmation Name. I LOVE my real name. I’d never change it.

    I'm actually in the process of changing my name. I'm not changing it legally, as it doesn't work with my last name and the last name I would change to would not be taken seriously by employers... I have enough trouble finding a job as it is. I'm currently using both names - one at work and around my parents and another for everything else. I'm debating changing my preferred name for uni.... not sure how that would affect what goes on my degree though.

    I'd like to have a "manlier" name.. as weird as that may sound.

    my name is corey.. not only is it gender neutral, it also ends on y.. which is an ending that is often used for tiny and cutesy things.. don't need a reminder of being small

    also I currently live in Germany and a lot of people pronounce it Co-Ray when they read it for the first time, which is just weird.

    if i could change my name I would change it to Tristan, just so I could introduce myself like this:



    I am the tragedy
    And the heroine
    I am lost And I am rescuing

    The storm is come
    And I am following

    My name is Tristan
    And I am alive

    Forever young
    I come from God knows where
    'Cos now I’m here
    Without a hope or care

    I am trouble
    And I am troubled too

    My name is Tristan
    And I am alive

    Sorrow by name
    And sorrow by nature
    Working for joy
    On overtime

    Stuck on a line
    Of misadventure
    I fear no crime

    I am the victim
    And the murderer
    You speak of love
    But I’ve never heard of her

    I am fucked
    And I am fucking too

    My name is Tristan
    And I am alive



    (Tristan - Patrick Wolf)

    i like my government name as it is. the long version and the short version.

    however, i would like to also be called by my web nickname in which i don't want to say because if you google it, you can basically trace the rest of my shit and that's not going to happen.

    I'd still use Telcontar for something unusual, again because I like the sound of it and what it means. Now, though, there is the added benefit that being unusual, I doubt it has gender connotations, and can be shortened to Connie or Terry.

    My name is Aliisa, and everyone who has to write my name asks if it's written with one or two i's, and it really annoys me, but I actually like it. But if I could, I'd change my name to Jenna-Aliisa(then I'd prefer to be called Jenna, though, but I don't wanna lose the name my parents gave me). And, also, because Aliisa doesn't suit me that well, and Jenna just goes with everything.

    Kalab, because why not. It would be very amusing and people could still call me Kala as well. I use to actually have people call me Kalab online when I was like 12ish, not sure why.
