I was on a name changing journey for a while, and this past summer I decided to switch to one of my middle names, [name_f]Laurel[/name_f].
I’m beyond happy and satisfied with my choice, I absolutely love being a [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] nearly full time, and it really feels perfect.
Since [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] is one of my two middle names, and the other one I really cannot stand and want to drop completely, I am in need of a new middle name (or two).
I always loved having two middle names and feel weird with just having one, but really and truly I’m not sure if I can be bothered with picking two entirely new names.
The list I have currently is:
Names with significant meaning to me:
[name_f]Adriana[/name_f] - My father’s middle name is [name_m]Adrian[/name_m] so it has family ties, I also just love the name, and someone I wish to emulate is also named [name_f]Adriana[/name_f].
[name_f]Alena[/name_f]/[name_f]Elena[/name_f] - It sounds beautiful with [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] imo, and I like that I can use Laurelena as a user handle. I love the that meaning is “light” which signifies positivity and fresh experiences. It feels a bit like a blessing on my new life.
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]/[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] - I have an unnatural love for all names [name_u]Alex[/name_u] and variant, haha. The meaning is wonderful, and I like the strength to the name, and history.
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f]/[name_f]Vittoria[/name_f] - The meaning of [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] ties in beautifully with the symbolism of [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]. It is also a name with a lot of strength and virtue, and I like that it has a strong connection to a [name_f]Queen[/name_f] since my birth name means [name_f]Queen[/name_f].
But for that reason I’d suggest [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] [name_f]Adriana[/name_f] from your list.
