Title: Help - Name
Post by: blue.lotus on April 30, 2016, 09:22:30 PM
I feel like I made a mistake when I chose my new name, I've been using it for more than a year and I have a love-hate relationship with it honestly. I feel like in some way it's not feminine or classy or anything lovely and I feel it's already too late to change it :( Since my family and all have already started calling me the name and they would not take me seriously if I changed it again, ugh advice? thoughts? I could always just use a middle name i like better because I would love to keep the name, maybe I can make it into a middle name rather than a first name that way they wouldn't be as confused and then have a name I like better as a first name? Thoughts? Thanks in advance

I am not sure what to say.  I took me years to think of a name that I really love. Maybe you can try speaking to your family maybe they will understand.
