    I hate my birth name and chose one for myself when I was 19. I tell very few people how I got my name because it's a personal story.

    Well I will be, eventually. I haven't even thought of one yet, my temporary one is just a shortened version of my birthname. I like Javen (Jay) at the moment but people that I've asked are on the edge about it so I'm still searching.

    Ah! You do know how they struggle with the R's! Unless they are Bavarian, they kinda muffle the sound of the R's, like they are gargling it, so it's generally hard for them to get my name right. What should sound as two strong R's come across as H's in their mouths lol.

    I like my name a lot more than I used to. I absolutely hated it when I was a kid. I'd probably change it to Jessica (or any variation of that: Jess/Jessie/etc.). Idk I also like the name Kayleigh or Kelsey a lot too <3

    I like my name. It pretty much stands out, and a bit unique. If I wanted the option to change it, it would either be Zalero or Adam.

    I've got a really common name in Greece and a really uncommon name in the US. I wouldn't change it. Although, I do want to change my nickname (what people call me) to a better version of that name.

    My birth name has a lot of meaning behind it and it was passed down to me from my grandfather, which is typically how Greek people name their kids. It's too sentimental for me to want to change it officially.

    I actually rather like my current name. Gender neutral. Suits me well.


    That said, if I were to pick a gender specific name:
    Female - Lauren
    Male - Lucas


    I have a thing for L names. :lol:

    My name is pretty common where I live, I hated it when I was younger. Now I don't really mind it, but I wouldn't mind changing it either. There's a ton of names that I like, English and Portuguese, not sure which I'd choose. As a kid I had a thing for the name Leah though. lmao

    Lily! Because I love that name, it means light and the name of the favorite fictional character that I created is Lily.

    I am unsure, part of me would like a less common and more gender neutral name. If I did change my name I would like to be called Sky. I probably wouldn't change it legally but I would prefer to be called Sky.

    Actually, I take it back:

    Lucien over Lucas for the male name.

    I'd love to change my name and leave the US, and start fresh in Canada or Sweden. I'm still young, but I'd rather be known for who I am today instead of who my family wanted me to be. They still try to assure everyone that I'm neither gay nor atheist because they don't want to "look bad" to their friends.

    Well my name is now seen as Unisex name because of the Beckhams and someone else famous. But if anything I might change it to Forest.

    I've thought about it. I would like to, only because I don't like my name. However, I have no idea what I would change it to.
