[name_m]Hi[/name_m]

I have been wanting to change my name for some years now. I have researched names but I just can’t pin point which name to choose. I live in the UK, I am British. I am 28 years old.

My surname won’t be changing. It begins with A so I find names ending in A runs into a bit. Also I don’t want a name beginning with A.

I have looked for the name records for my year but can not find the data for the year 1990. The furthest back I can find is 1996.

I don’t like short names. I prefer longer names with 2 or more syllables. I also want a name that was used in my year of birth or at least a name that is popular and not date stamped to a certain era.

Names I can’t use… [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], [name_f]Emily[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f].

Some names I like and have thought about… [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f], [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]/[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Elise[/name_f], [name_f]Estelle[/name_f], [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]/[name_f]Isobel[/name_f], [name_f]Louise[/name_f], [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_f]Madeline[/name_f], [name_f]Naomi[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f].

I am looking for thoughts on the names listed above and some fresh ideas.

Any help is appreciated.

I love [name_f]Elise[/name_f] and [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] but I wouldn’t use [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] because it’s popularity might drive you mad.
