Your parents picked yours to start with, but if you were to change your name, what would it be and why?



I would change my name to Tserwi because that's what my pet bird calls me.

I would change my name to either Big Papa Smurf or Turd Ferguson (it's a funny name).

I'd change mine to Tenshi Kaseum. I used to spell it as 'Casum' (latin for 'House of), but changed it until it eventually became 'Kaseum'. Tenshi is Japanese for 'Angel'.

For the purposes of this board, I am 9CatMom, but I like my given name.

Thought about changing my last name to my mother's maiden name.
Thought about changing my first name.

Don't know if I would ever wind up actually changing either.

If I knew that, I'd change it. My bf sometimes calls me Nigel.

I was going to change my last name to my Mother's maiden name... which is more appropriate. I consider myself to be more on that side of the family.

But the desire isn't strong in me, It doesn't really matter... and would be a big hassle to change at this point in time.

I don't have any connections to my own last name. In a way it's like a fresh start, I can make the legacy that goes with this name completely my own.

As strange as it sounds, I have no real connections to this name... and wouldn't even have a problem changing it to the woman's last name when I get married if there was a good reason to.

I've grown attached to my first name... it fits me. I can't think of anything else that would be appropriate.
