First of all I’m completely new here so, I do apologise if I have posted in the wrong forum… But due to an obsession with names and a passion for writing, here I am and I’d like to ask for some assistance.
I was born [name_f]Paige[/name_f] [name_f]Erin[/name_f]. And for as long as I can remember I have and all ways hated both names with a passion. They were dull, boring, flat and just didn’t suit me a single bit. [name_m]Add[/name_m] that on to an abusive childhood and that name has now been tarnished to the point where saying it aloud freaks me out.
Now, years later I have finally reached the point where I can change it, but my current problem is: What to? I have almost nothing to work with. For a year or two now I have been identifying as [name_f]Channie[/name_f], a nickname based on the Korean name I was given by a friend (Chanmi). It’s okay, and it worked for the time being, but it’s not right and it’s and a pain to work with.
Other than that there is basically nothing, my dad refused to call me anything else so there wasn’t anything list of other options to start at. My mum tried to bargain for [name_f]Ebbony[/name_f] as my middle name but that didn’t happen. I like [name_f]Ebbony[/name_f] but it doesn’t suit me as a first name. Other than that if I was a boy I would have been [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. The only variation of this that I like is [name_f]Alyx[/name_f]. But I am not 100% sold on that yet.
That is the entire list. I liked [name_f]Summer[/name_f] a lot as a child but my youngest sister is named [name_u]Winter[/name_u] so that’s a no go. I am the eldest of four, I don’t mind if the name doesn’t match but for reference their names are [name_m]Liam[/name_m], [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_u]Winter[/name_u].
I like names that are slightly quirky, but also soft spoken as I’m kinda shy. I also want my name to work as a medal, a sign of what I’ve come through. So meanings such as brave, fighter, particularly defender, [name_f]Dawn[/name_f] etc are great. Names I like at the moment include:
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Ebbony[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Mercy[/name_f]
[name_m]Aubin[/name_m]
[name_f]Alyx[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]

I am also looking at a new last name.
Thank you all so much and sorry for the long post!!!
