Title: Name question
Post by: Sarah84 on January 17, 2016, 06:09:05 AM
I am changing my legal ID to female and I need to choose a new name. I had a neutral name for pre-op phase, but now having completed SRS I can finally choose female name. I am trying to decide between Monika and Veronika. But I really can't get out of this dillema. So maybe you can help me, what name do you like more?

Thanks :).

When you look in the mirror which one do you see?

You could look them up on urbandictionary, ignore mean comments and pick one you like most.

One of my daughters has Veronica as a middle name. I like it.

Listen to the Elvis Costello song (written about his grandmother, I believe) and realized that's the kind of girl most of us want to be!

I'd say it aloud and the one that gives you a smile is the right one. My friend named me and I rolled with it. It gave me the biggest smile.

With that being said, I like Veronika. Or Veronica. ;)  I like the V's and I love the longer names. More elegant. You can shorten it to Monika for a nickname. Your nickname is nearly as important as your legal name.

I'm ear to ear smiles when I use my name aloud. It makes me feel good when I hear it. I was named Victoria... but Tori also gets me giddy. So it's 100% about how it makes you feel. Victoria Quinn aka (Harley). So many awesome nicknames when my friends get going. All of them make me smile.

Just an afterthought, I like calligraphy. Have you tried writing then side by side? One will be written more than the other and you'll see the answer for yourself.
