I haven’t been on here for quite some time, I’ve been super busy with college, etc. And I’m still really considering changing my name or at least my first name, then eventually maybe get it legally changed? I haven’t quite decided on that but I’m having trouble finding a nice sounding name that’ll suit me a lot better but isn’t nearly as popular or boring, does anyone have any advice? has anyone changed their name? if so what made you change it? and why did you choose the name? or if you haven’t changed your name, what would you like to change it to? thanks in advance.
I’m not sure if you want name suggestions per se, but I think some advice for you would be to think about some names you like and what you like best about them, ranging anywhere from a particular part (e.g. “-phia” from [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]) or the style or name, to help you look at other options to find “the one”. My dad’s girlfriend uses a different name than her given name but doesn’t plan to legally change it until she is married. She uses [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] as a first name and her mother’s maiden name as her last name.
If you’re having trouble finding the right name for you just try saying them out loud over and over or writing it out, and maybe try going to a Starbucks or something and trying out the name to see if it feels right. In my opinion if you genuinely want a different name I recommend you change it legally so that it can actually be your name.
