I think you will only look like a drag queen if you look like a drag queen.

Neon?

Looking at your avatar, if that is you, you remind me of Yoko Ono.

Janet

was the yoko ono thing an insult or a complement?

It was a compliment.  And just when I glanced at your avatar, that name popped up.

Janet

Oh thank you =]  its just that sometimes ppl say shes ugly so i thought you where saying i was ugly.

Don;t think this is silly - I think of it because of what my kids watch - but I would think that with an Asian heritage the best place to find a "different" name without being "draggish" would be some popular anime character.

Like Winry for instance (I'm a huge FMA fan!)

I thought she was cute when she and John first got together.  It was only after John's death that I learned that she could and was a bitch.

You remind me for her younger days.

Janet

Lol im not asian, but yeah alot of ppl do think i am i think its my eyes

OOPS!

I wasn't sure but when you didn't protest the Yoko comment on those grounds I figured I was safe.

Anyway, I still like Winry!

Or does it have an "e"?

Winrey?

You could do one of those online name personality fitting test or look through the baby names book. That's what my mom did to pick out my name (I totally tricked her into it .lol)
cute pic of yourself by the way.

I think the worst thing to do would be to over-compensate for the popularity of nice names by choosing something too contrived (as happens to celebrity babies and trailer trash who try to give posh names to their bastard spawn).

The mother of my daughters is Sri Lankan, so we addressed the naming problem by chosing names that sound pretty in both cultures (Ayesha & Chaya) although they both also have contemporary western middle names.

With names, less is usually more.  Keep it simple and elegant, I say.

You look like a Winona to me. It's exotic but not trashy, and not particularly common. Plus you get a bigger choice of nicknames, Jamie, Noni, Winny and so on.

what do you think of chelsey?

Check out some of the baby name sites and go through them. I ran through about 30 names in my head before settling on the first and middle names that I wanted. At the time my middle name did not seem to be too popular but that has changed in the last decade.

My theory on names goes something like this:

1) The first name, middle name, and last name should fit together.  The first and last should sound good together.  Yoko Ono works; Yoko Lennon doesn't.

2) The name should not peg you in some particular category.  When I named my daughter, one consideration was whether I could imagine someone with that name on the Supreme Court.

3) If no one knows how to pronounce it, you will regret ever choosing that name.  You may have to spell it for them, but choosing some weird spelling of a name will make your life more difficult and will probably diminish you in the eyes of some people.  (See 2, above.)

4) Choose a name that fits who you are, not who you want to be like.  I've known several people who have names that don't fit them.  People either call them something else or can never remember their names.  When I first started telling people I was becoming Katherine, they would look at me like I was speaking Urdu.  When I said "... or Kate", they would brighten up.  I guess I'm Kate.

I will now step down from my soapbox.

- Kate

Hi Neon,

You kind of remind me of a Becky (or Rebecca), probably because I remember someone who looked just like you from my younger days.

Agrees with Kate

also agrees with Kate.  There's something nice about having an original name, but there's also something nice about not having issues with something so fundamental, such as having to spell it every time you call up the call service center for your bank. 

N+1-ing the suggestions to just look through baby name sites and books and pick a name that works for you. 

i looked at you and the first name that jumped at me was freya (pronounced fray-a), i think it suits you. As for second names, i remember a character from my favourite game named Freya Crescent, that name suits you perfectly
