If you could change your first name what would it be?

YourExcellency

Nolan

Hailsatan.

Queen

Leo

Something that wouldn’t rhyme with excrement of some sort. Something that, hopefully, no one could put a long “e” sound on the end. Like LarrEE, MartEE, KrisEE.

My name is Rachel, as was every other damn girl in my high school class. I literally had one math class that was ⅓ Rachels. 4 out of 12 students in the class were Rachels. It got to the point where I basically conditioned myself not to respond to my name because most of the time when I heard “Rachel” being said in the hallway they were calling to someone besides me.

So for a long time I craved to have a more “interesting” name. There are a few more unique girls’ names that I like: Indigo and June, to name a couple that come to mind immediately.

It’s funny though, as an adult I don’t know NEARLY as many Rachels. I am the only Rachel at my workplace. Maybe it was a regional thing? It’s a biblical name and my hometown was a pretty religious area. Anyway, I’m not as cranky about it anymore because of that.

I still like being called Ray as a shortening of my name because it’s cute and brings to mind sunshine. Nobody actually calls me it, though.

Maybe Emma or Sarah.

Too many names to choose just a couple ! Ashley would be nice.

You folks all know it’s legal to change your name, right? I’ve considered it recently and decided I feel right with my given name.

When I was about 6 years old though, I didn’t like it, and thought I’d like to be named Jack. Jack Black.

@Zaku I did change my last name but have no real need to change my first name. My answer was just from speculation to answer the question. I did shorten my first name to my nickname non-legally and have introduced myself by that name for many years now.

I like short, simple names. My name is different and I don’t like it. I would like a name like Joy, Jill, Ann.

Madison, Madi for short

I always thought it would be nice to have a name that sounds useful and enterprising—like Tugboat. Or maybe Lynchpin bManly.

Different. Different from what it is, that is.

My first name is my father’s, but I was always called by my nickname, which is ridiculous.
I wish I had been called by my right name.

@filmfann Meathead!

Emma is going to be a big one for baby girls for the next couple of years!

Jacqueline. “Jackie” for short.

Her Loveliness.

Actually, I did change my first name, 40 years ago, and I fully love my choice.

Scott, but it’s my middle name at least.

I’m happy with my first name.. No need to change.

@janbb Funny you should mention that name. My ex, Satan, used to call me that when he was angry (which was his usual state of mind ).
