what would you name yourself?

If you had the choice to name yourself at birth, what would you want your name to be?

I'm fine with the name I was given, so I can't say I've ever thought about it. There are some names I find cool, but couldn't imagine myself bearing them.

I'm happy with my name the way it is and I wouldn't change it for anything.

That's a bit like asking if I'd get a nose job - I might be kinda "meh" on what I have, but nothing else would ever feel like it really suits me. Being known for years by certain screen names/nicknames of my choosing makes up for the meh-ness.

I like my nickname a bit more than my real name, but both names are fine with me.

My current name is fine, but if I had a choice on my birth name, I would name myself "Autumn", as a result of Fall being my favorite season.

Most people usually think whatever name they're given is great.

I've always been partial to Lance, but I don't like monosyllabic names.

My name is just fine, after all, it's belonged to a queen, several cities, an Aussie province/state, and a waterfall! (Kudos to anyone who figures out what it is.)

First thing that comes to mind- Victoria?


My name was supposed to be Zoe or Joy, which I like both a lot more than my actual name, which is Greek and has too many syllables.

My first name's fine, except nobody spells it right. But I always wished I had a more Irish last name, like O'Shea. That would'a been neat. Nobody pronounces my last name right because it's exclusive to my family (it got Anglicized when they came to America) and that's a little annoying.

My last name has a Northern English, Scottish, and northern Irish meaning. Yet hardly anyone ever says my entire last name where I live at.
So, you're not alone.

My last name's not Irish at all, sadly, although my Mom's family name, Mahoney, sure is. I felt kinda gypped by that, that's a humdinger of a handle but it missed me by That Much.

My first name is Irish for either "God is Gracious" or "God's Gift", depending on who you ask. Appropriate.

Strange how all of my names are basically first names, I could be set on using any of them.

If I had to choose, I'd want to use an Italian name. Otherwise, I would like to use Arthur as a new name.

I started clicking around a little bit to see what I could find out about my last name. Apparently as a formal name it supposedly originated in Russia, but there are variations of it in Hebrew and other languages going back to Biblical times. It most commonly means "King" or "Victor of the People".

Nevermind, I ain't changin' sh*t. I lucked out more'n I thought I did.

Heh, So did I. My maiden name roughly translates into "son of the storm" (it's Irish, so- yeah, I'm a Mick!)
