Tell me your favorites! What names should I add to the list?

No babies here - I’m actually planning to change my name. So, hi there. What do you think of these?

[name]Genevieve[/name] aka [name]Evie[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name] aka [name]Rose[/name]
[name]Wren[/name]
[name]Francesca[/name] aka [name]Fran[/name]/[name]Chess[/name]/something else
[name]Penelope[/name] aka [name]Poppy[/name]
[name]Guinevere[/name] aka [name]Gwen[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Selene[/name]
[name]Vera[/name]

I have fairly broad taste in names, I think, so I’m not really sure how to give any direction for suggestions other than giving some details about me. I’m hoping to transition to my new name before I go to college next year. I’m tall, dark-haired, blue-eyed, and probably more exotic than conventionally pretty. I’m okay with that. I like writing, art, and design; I’m really fascinated by function meets form and all the psychology behind it. I take my camera everywhere. I’m addicted to Etsy, leather jackets, boots, messenger bags made of suits, rhyming, day trips, hair clips, going to shows, [name]Doctor[/name] Who marathons, flea markets, collecting vintage posters, funky scarves and bracelets, and blogging.

That just about covers it. Thanks so much for reading.

To me, [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Rosalie[/name], [name]Wren[/name], [name]Francesca[/name] & [name]Penelope[/name] suit people with loud, bubbly personalities whereas [name]Guinevere[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]Selene[/name] & [name]Vera[/name] suit calm & secluded personalities.

My favorites ( all are really wicked choices!)
[name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Guinevere[/name]
[name]Selene[/name]

I have a feeling [name]Francesca[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name] & [name]Violet[/name] suit your description.

I like [name]Selene[/name] or [name]Francesca[/name].
[name]Selene[/name] would not have an obvious nn
[name]Francesca[/name] could have the nn [name]Fran[/name], [name]Franny[/name], Francy, [name]Chess[/name], Chesca -you sound ecclectic and a bit boho… so Chesca would be so quirky
The other name are lovely too but seem like ‘modern vintage’ 2012 baby girl names.
Except for [name]Vera[/name]- which is nms.
I think put the other names as mn with either [name]Selene[/name] or [name]Francesca[/name].

I think [name]Francesca[/name] is the perfect name for your description!

Thanks for the replies, guys!

Ooh, I love Chesca. I don’t know why it didn’t immediately occur to me as a nickname for [name]Francesca[/name]. :eek:

Honestly, I’m pretty introverted in general and I can be shy. I get a lot of “You seemed so standoffish and intimidating!” from people who are just getting to know me. But I’m really very good with people when I actually want to deal with them, and I can admit that I’m kind of volatile and really passionate. I’m the type to have three or so best friends, a small group of friends, and a lot of acquaintances.

That felt a little strange to type out, but hopefully it gives a little more personality background.

You sound like a young woman finding a place in her own skin, and only sharing ‘you’ with closer people who you know well. Finding a name that ‘fits’ will add a new confidence.
I like [name]Francesca[/name] even more for you now. To me it has an Italian feel of a passionate woman who fires up at times, yet has a soft sensitive side that hides within. Some one who walks to the beat of her own drum, yet doesn’t care what others think. Caring and devoted friend.

Chesca is perfect IMHO.
