I am sort of on the fence about changing my name and first, I want to see if it would be a good idea and second I want to know what you guys would change your name to if you could!

Right now I just think my name doesn't really fit me and sounds childish, thought about just going by my middle name which is Paige. Has a nicer ring to it. Anyway, what do you guys think? There are pros and cons to everything and I understand them but what would everyone change their names to if they could?

Names are just humanity's way of keeping track of each other instead of saying Baby #1 and Baby #2. You were born nameless and you were given a random name. So you can easily change it to whatever you want.

I don't think I'd change my name so late in life.. I identify with it. But maybe that's different for everyone if they aren't fond of their name. :/

I like the name Hannah though, It's very pretty πŸ™‚

If I could choose a name for myself, i'd probably pick Sibyl.

I like that name πŸ™‚ it has like this mysterious ring to it and you don't hear Sibyl very often.

I will keep thinking about it, thank you guys for finding my name pretty though πŸ™‚

Thank you guys ^^ Angela is a pretty name but I think of Angelica from The Rugrats and her personality doesn't fit me at all πŸ˜†

I'll keep thinking about it but I probably won't πŸ™‚

I love the name Hannah. Always loved it. It's a pretty rare where I come from. I'm biased to the point that, when I hear it, even if I don't like the character of a girl or woman, the name significantly lessens the bad effect the person had on me.

Irrational and stupid, I know.

I just like that name for some unknown reason.

But, of course, you live with it, and if you really feel it doesn"t sound right to you and makes you feel "wrong", you have every right to change it.

Just remember that your name is a word that has been most used in your life and it participated in the making of your character. The vibrations of your name, the sound, echoes in the universe and carries a certain weight in making you the person you are.

I believe that changing your first name, you change a course of your destiny, so I would think hard before doing it.

Good luck with the decision!

You have a lovely name πŸ™‚

No way, I love my name. Old and beautiful just like me (ego boost) ^_^ πŸ™‚ Love myself

I think that's one of the goals I have for this year is to love myself more. If you love yourself then I need your secrets πŸ˜› as for your name I'm glad you like it πŸ™‚ Older names are beautiful, sort of like a lost song that everyone forgot of until you hear it again

That makes me think of good vibrations are coming from my name if I accept it, changing my name won't change my personality but it does make me unique πŸ™‚ The way you write is beautiful, like you're an author? I'm going to keep thinking about this for sure.
