Stage name situation

Boy Names

Hello berries!
I am an aspiring actress, and I am trying to create a stage name. I don’t want it to be too different to my true name, that will not be me.
So, I am a bit peculiar hehe. I was born in Venezuela, half spanish and I’ve been living in french and Spain. Currently I’m back in Venezuela for a while…
Physically: I am tall, skinny, pale, flat, brown eyes, curly light brown hair and thin eyebrows. There you go, I am not your standard “sexy” latina, but that doesn’t make me less latina!
Ok, I’ll announce my full and long spanish name:

[name_u]Andrea[/name_u] [name_f]Valentina[/name_f] Pérez [name_f]Fern[/name_f]ández

Well, It could be worst for sure (I mean longer) 29 letters. The average in 32 :-?

I like my name, for a legal name. Althought my name is [name_u]Andrea[/name_u], I go by [name_f]Andie[/name_f] pretty much ALL the time. Why? Bc it is simpler and prettier.
In [name_f]France[/name_f], Spain, Venezuela (and in [name_u]America[/name_u] I suppose) [name_f]Andie[/name_f] works fine!

Ok, what should I use for my stage name?

[name_u]Andrea[/name_u] Pérez is the obvious choice but…

Pérez: I don’t like this sound, it is too harsh and masculine. And truly, It is in the top five most common surnames in Spain. Pérez is…flat. It does not sound like me…

[name_u]Andrea[/name_u] Pérez…that’s how I’m adressed by doctors tho…Miss Pérez…dunno…

Then there’s [name_f]Fern[/name_f]ández. My option 2. It makes sense tho… (daddy issues) [name_u]Andrea[/name_u] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]ández is prettier don’t you think? [name_u]Andrea[/name_u] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]ández… I can honor my mom :heart: My grandpa…

[name_u]Andrea[/name_u] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]ández?

But then there’s [name_f]Andie[/name_f].

[name_f]Andie[/name_f] Pérez?
[name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]ández?

Is [name_u]Andrea[/name_u] “[name_f]Andie[/name_f]” [name_f]Fern[/name_f]ández appealing?

Miss [name_f]Fern[/name_f]ández, Miss [name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f]ández…

Isn’t it fashion sounding like [name_m]Mario[/name_m] [name_m]Hern[/name_m]ández?

(Or maybe spanish surnames are horrendous? I personally would create a new one but…NO! That is my sephardic spanish and venezuelan heritage…I can’t do that girls!)

Oh, this is so frustrating. And I need to send photos to castings…

Thank you for your support!

I approved this thread, but since this is the boy’s names forum and looking for a stage name for an actress it might be more appropriate for one of the other Nameberry forums instead. (If you want it moved, let me know and it can be moved by a moderator like me.)

I like [name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_m]Perez[/name_m] or [name_u]Andrea[/name_u] Fernandez. [name_f]Andie[/name_f] Fernandez had a repeated “An” sound I’m not a fan of

[name_f]Andi[/name_f] Pérez
[name_u]Andrea[/name_u] Pérez- I think [name_u]Andrea[/name_u] Pérez is my favorite option.

I like the idea of [name_f]Andie[/name_f] [name_u]Vale[/name_u] ([name_u]Vale[/name_u] from [name_f]Valentina[/name_f]). I think it’s super pretty and distinctive, and doesn’t make you pick between your last names.
