Title: So many pretty names

I love the variety of names as I look through the postings. I didn't really spend very much time in selecting my name as pulled it out the air. Don't get me wrong I love my name! I am an Emily through and through. I think that if I had taken more time to search for a name I still would have ended up with Emily. But, the idea of trying different names sounds fun. There are so many different ones that I love. Some are really prety to look at, others sound pretty, and still others are fun to write. I think that Emily is pretty in all three ways (I am a bit biased.) I love writting it, making those sweeping curves of the E is somehow calming for me. Sometimes I will think of another name or see one here and think to myself I should use that one. I will even go so far as to tell my mother I am changing it and her response is always the same "No, I won't go through that again." So, I stay an Emily because that is who I am.

My full name is Genevieve. I shortened it to Gennee (pornounced Jenny) because there are other girls on this forum with the same name. I always found something regal about Genevieve.

I'm still not sure about my name, I've always like the name Melissa, but I know some Melissa's. So I went with a name that sounded similar to it. It also means "rational", which I thought was fitting.

Thank you! :D
I like the name Emily as well, it's nice and very feminine.

Mmm, it's not something I had to pick out, it's been in my head awhile. I'm perfectly content with Trista. ^.^

My name picked me. I came across it in a baby book and it stuck in my mind. That's who I am. My Mum suggested my wife choose my middle name. Just 2 weeks ago she finally settled on one. Raine
So I'm Keaira Raine.

My mom and dad gave me my middle name Raymond after my Great uncle. I didn't feel right in changing it so I just feminized it.

I've went through at least three names and keep seeing other ones that pique my interest. When I was really young I liked Samantha, but I've grown waaaaay out of that. When I got a little older I liked Sylvia, but that's a little too ostentatious for my tastes these days.
I ended up looking through a list of the most popular names for women and near the end I found Sadie. I didn't know anyone named Sadie, nor did I see anyone named Sadie in anything I've watched, read, or played. At most I saw a character from Mouse Guard named Sadie. Right now I'm liking the name well enough. On the other hand, Caroline has a nice ring to it...But I think I'll be sticking with Sadie.

So I'm Keaira Raine.
Excuse me for asking, but I've not come across it before - how do you pronounce Keaira?
