While in NYC recently I was scouted by a model agency! I’m really excited and can’t wait! However, to protect my identity (I’m still quite young) and because I simply don’t like my name, I get to change it. My name is also really common and boring!
I need both a first and last name as I’m not bothered about a middle name.
I would prefer a name that it is very strong but still feminine. I prefer first names that end in an ‘e’ sound as well.
If anyone would like anymore information as it would help them figure out a name then just let me know!
I’d love to help! Here are a few questions that might help me find an answer for you, and reasons why I’m asking them:
Would you like it to be based off your name? (If you do I can find a more unique twist on your real name, and you can protect your safety on this sight by not including your last name and using other symbols in place of letters–for instance, my name ‘[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]’ would be Aur0r@).
What is your heritage? This may help me find plausible last names for you.
What are some names you like? What are some you dislike? (so I can find trends.)
Is there a certain sound, besides just strong & feminine, that you’re going for?
What are some things you enjoy?
What type of modeling are you interested in doing?
Congratulations on getting scouted! That’s SO awesome. That’s how [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] [name_u]Lawrence[/name_u] started her career, actually, and I’m sure other models/actors as well. As someone who is very used to showbiz, though, just as a warning–watch out for scams. Agencies should take a percentage of what you make, you should NEVER pay them! And you should be able to find a cheaper option for headshots than what they may suggest. Believe me, I’ve seen so many people, especially young people (I’m young myself), get scammed because they’re excited about being scouted and did what the agency told them. If their only interest is your headshots and they say they’re setting up someone to take them for you but you have to pay a large amount of money, that very well may be a scam. Best of luck to you !!!
I’m fine with using my full name as like I said it’s very common. My name is [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_m]Stephen[/name_m] (there are at least 4 people with the same last name as me and 3 with the same first name). I was born in [name_f]Russia[/name_f] then moved to Germany at 2 before moving to the UK recently. However my dad was born and raised in [name_u]Brazil[/name_u] and my mum was born in Spain lived there for a while then moved to [name_f]France[/name_f]. So yeah it’s quite a lot going on!
Although I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] names ending with a ‘e’ sound names like [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] you know more cutesy names I don’t really like. However saying that I quite like the name [name_f]Jolie[/name_f]. But think that might sound a bit too American!
As I’m going to be doing more commercial modelling and growing my followers for my fashion and stuff (the agency said that they loved my style and would love to use that as an advantage on social media) I honestly wouldn’t mind having quite a normal first name than a really unique surname. The agency maybe something like [name_u]Blaze[/name_u]. Also because I was raised in Germany and am likely to move back there, they are using a woman called [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] Strange as their inspiration for me (she’s a really famous model in Germany).
I hope this helps and sorry if some of it doesn’t make sense, English is not my first language even though I’ve been speaking it for a while!
I’m fine with saying my name as it is very common. My name is [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_m]Stephen[/name_m] (I HATE it and always have). I was born in [name_f]Russia[/name_f] but moved to Germany when I was 2 but I did recently move to the UK so now my name is even more common but [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] was already super common in Germany! My dad was born and raised in [name_u]Brazil[/name_u] and my mum was born in Spain but moved to [name_f]France[/name_f] at 8. If you’re wondering why my last name doesn’t sound Brazilian at all it’s because my opa (grandad) is Scottish. I also have Dutch, Italian, Greek, Australian, Swedish and South African in my family if that helps!
As I said before I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] names that end with an ‘e’ sound but I’m not a huge fan of the names [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Mollie[/name_f] anything that sounds cutesy. However saying that I quite like the name [name_f]Jolie[/name_f], it’s not my favourite but I don’t mind it.
As I will be doing mostly commercial modelling and working on growing my followers on instagram for my style and stuff (the agency said that my style stuck out to them so they want to try to grow my instagram as a way to use that for recognition) and am most likely to move back and be based in [name_m]Berlin[/name_m], they are using a model called [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] Strange as their inspiration for me (she’s a very famous model/icon in Germany) they suggested using quite a normal first name and then using a unique last name like her. Some examples they suggested were [name_u]Blaze[/name_u] or [name_u]Valentine[/name_u] but I’m open to more because I’m not the biggest fan on either!
I’m sorry if this doesn’t make a lot of sense but I tried and English is not my first language! I hope this helped and thank you again for wanting help!
