[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

All my life I have had a hard time liking my name, [name_f]Laura[/name_f]. I have always wanted to change it to something else but I know if I do it would hurt my parents feelings so I won’t change it legally.

Instead I would like to add a middle name to my name. I was never given a middle name when I was born and it’s also something I have always wanted. I would be happy to change my name legally with just adding a middle name.

I am all over the place with names I like so I thought some people here might be able to help me?

Some names I like are [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Naomi[/name_f], [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_f]Faye[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Amy[/name_f].

For my middle name I want something that isnt to out there and doesn’t sound silly on a 29 year old British lady.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

I have wished I was called [name_f]Laura[/name_f] for much of my life! I do feel for you though in not liking your name, something I can relate to. If you add a middle is it possible for you to go by your new middle in new situations and gradually change to it, though you would still be [name_f]Laura[/name_f] to your family? [name_m]Plenty[/name_m] of people go by their middle names.

All the names on your middles list are good, but some of them don’t go well after [name_f]Laura[/name_f]: [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and perhaps [name_f]Amy[/name_f] too.

My favourites are [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f].

Other ideas:

[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Jacqueline[/name_f]
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]

[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] is lovely! [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] and [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] would be gorgeous too

[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f], [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f], [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f], [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] and [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] came to mind

I’m a fan of the single syllable middle with your name!
