    Cyril

    I use to go by JC, but in college I changed it. Cyril sounds more professional than JC

    The name is Alec.

    I'd first started considering it after watching Broadchurch, as my favourite character there was D.I. Alec Hardy (played by David Tennant) whom I related to quite a bit. I like the ring to the name "Alec" in that it's both classy and common enough, yet not horribly common. I did not want a 'weird' name as my birth name is very odd and unique, drawing attention all the time, and honestly I don't want to draw attention to myself in that way.

    And the meaning, "defender of man/mankind" is nice - sort of a reminder to myself to be noble. Lastly it has British roots - which is in my bloodline - and also goes really well with my last name.

    I'm Hayley, very boring really: my mum liked the sound of it and I was a bit dramatic being born, therefore popular actress it was :wink:

    My name is Ram. It's really a part of my whole name, but that's what I like to be called.

    It's a name that's been used for Boys in my family for some generations now, passed down from Father to Son. My father was skipped, so I got the name and share it with my Grandfather, Great-Grandfather, Great-Great-Grandfather and Great-Great-Great-Grandfather

    CJ, or Cas. It stands for Cassandra Joy, a name which I actually love and don't plan on changing. A lot of friends/family also call me Cassie.

    Fun story, I was Bethany until about 2 hours after I was born. I was supposed to be my mother's only child and since her name was Elizabeth, Beth, they were going to name me after her. She changed her mind after she saw me and just couldn't imagine me as a Bethany. XD In a weird (totally on purpose) twist, my mom's high school nickname was BJ (Beth Joan) so I'm still kinda named after her!

    There's no story at all behind my name, my parents just thought it was nice i guess. I wish i had a name more original.

    To me, Harper sounds pretty masculine, actually (hope you don't mind me saying so. <3 ) I also love it since it's music-themed. :slight_smile:


    I'm Rebecca. It's from Hebrew and means "snare", "tie up", "bind", or similar. I think the bind part fits me since I often think about how things are connected etc.... :slight_smile:

    Jk, it's Cameron. I'm rather happy about it being gender neutral (is my birth certificate name too!).

    Gray, but sadly, it's not my birth name. My birth name is Briana, and yes, it's spelled with one 'n'.

    Grace. My dad chose it since it is my mom's middle name and his great-grandmother's name who came over to the U.S. from Germany. Apparently he also liked the sound of it and the Biblical meaning behind it - "unmerited favor of God toward man". I'm so special lol.

    Edit: My twin sister is named Hannah and I was told that Hannah means Grace in Hebrew so we have "matching" names. How cute.
