What if you had a chance…

[name_f]Imagine[/name_f] you have a chance of renaming yourself without any cost or any limits; what names would you choose for yourself and why? You only can choose one name, without middle names, though.

This is for pure fun.

hmm - maybe it’s a boring choice but I’m going with [name_f]Nell[/name_f] - warm, vintage, friendly, short and snappy - I think it’s the only name on my ‘things I’d like to be called’ that has stuck too

[name_f]Jane[/name_f]!
It’s simple, vintage, literary, and I think it would really fit me. :blush:

[name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]. It’s sparkly and silvery and I love the mythical story. [name_u]Ari[/name_u] is a great nickname as well.

I’m thinking [name_u]River[/name_u] right now: short, gender-neutral, and fun!

[name_u]Arizona[/name_u]. [name_u]Unique[/name_u], easy to pronounce, and has nickname options.

I can really think you as an [name_f]Ariadne[/name_f]! This, or [name_u]Zoe[/name_u] pronounced in the Greek way, as well as [name_f]Zosia[/name_f] and [name_f]Berenice[/name_f], were the first names I could see you as. (Your actual name suits you too a lot too, haha)

Thank you! [name_f]My[/name_f] grandmother’s sister is named [name_f]Zosia[/name_f] (Zofia).

I really like [name_f]Zosia[/name_f] myself. Is [name_f]Zosia[/name_f] an old name there in Poland?

[name_f]Zosia[/name_f] is only used as a nickname for [name_f]Zofia[/name_f], never as a full name. It’s very popular across all age groups.

Alright, thank you. I was thinking of using [name_f]Zosia[/name_f] or [name_f]Zofia[/name_f] myself one day as a middle name for something.
The reasons is that I always tend to prefer Z names to S names (Zara to Sara). I find them more elegant and also more intriguing. And I don’t really like the sibilant sound at the start of a name.

I think [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] :rose: I love the name and how it sounds. It also has a couple of family connections to it, which is something I wish my real name had. It sounds good with both my maiden and married name. Also, since it is two names together, I wouldn’t notice the lack of a middle name. It fits so many boxes and I think it would suit me really well.

at the moment, the name i can most see on myself is percy !! it’s quite far from my usual style, but it seems right for me - it’s the name i’ll usually give when ordering coffee or the like.

I think [name_u]Percy[/name_u] really works for you.

I would want the same nickname as I have now, so preferably something like [name_f]Antigone[/name_f] or [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f] would prevail. I love how rare they are, but also fairly recognisable and with tons of meaning/history behind them.
