My birth name is [name_f]Emilie[/name_f], haha, and I’m going back and forth between legally changing it or just going by nicknames. I don’t dislike the name, it just doesn’t fit me. I can tell you that my name is always misspelled as [name_f]Emily[/name_f], and I usually have to correct people multiple times, and sometimes that doesn’t even do it. I’ve always preferred the spelling of [name_f]Emilie[/name_f], though. I think it looks daintier and prettier.

That being said, my favorite is probably [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]. I met a [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] at a camp last year and I thought it was just the prettiest name. [name_f]Eliana[/name_f] is nice, too, though.

You might want to try going by each of these, though. Try the coffee shop test, or talk to your friends or family about which they think would fit you most. Or, just pick the one you like the most, haha.

Good luck!
