[Opinions] If you had to change your name, what would you change it to?
For me, I know the first name would be Charlotte. Helen is my favorite name, but something about it doesn’t sound like it would suit me. I would probably be Charlotte Elizabeth or Charlotte Eliza Margot.

I've already changed it. The name I now use is Agnetha after the Abba lady.
If I had to change it maybe I'd be Jade. I've always liked it. Short, easy to say and read, and pretty. I like gemstones, also.
Rosemary Jane, although I think the Hope suits me better. Probably Hope Elizabeth (Elizabeth has been used in my family for generations so I don’t consider it a filler).
I somehow misread that as Charlotte Eliza Marigold and thought that was a pretty cool name! I love the name Eliza.
Sometimes I wish I'd recieved a middle name honouring someone in my family. I was the first person in my recent lineage who got a middle name picked on a whim for aesthetics... and also the last! All the other cousins, and even my own siblings, got honouring middles after me. It always made me feel strangely left out, like I didn't really belong to the family.
So maybe I'd pick a new middle name. Maybe Jeanne, after my great-great grandmother. I'd go with Clio Jeanne I think.

Dorian. Has been a favourite for a long time.
It's not the flashiest or most desirable name, but I love the cozy comfort of it: Jamie. When I was a kid, my cousins and I would play a game where we assigned each other names based on appearance alone, what kind of name we looked like we had. We all settled on Jamie for me, and I guess I just always fondly looked back on it in that way.
I don't know what middle name I would pair with it though. Jamie Pearl, maybe? Jamie Carla? I'd have to explore that a bit.
I would also choose Anne. Since that's my actual middle name, I have an attachment. It's taken a decade or two, but I've grown quite fond of it nowadays. Anne Claudia? Anne Daisy? Anne Christina? One of those, maybe.

I love how you describe Jamie as cozy comfort. Although Jamie Pearl is as if you are named after Pearl Jam
Haha, touché.
Ruby Celeste
Ivy or Olivia.
Ivy has personal significance for me and I think it's a really cute and badass name.
For some reason I resonate with Olivia a lot. I feel like I could be an Olivia.
Both names suit my personality, and while I like them both I wouldn't consider them to be my favorite names. But that's what I would change my name to.

Adrienne not pronounced like Adrian.

I've been crushing on Ariadne lately. Either that or choose one of my favourite girl names: Celeste, Evangeline and Genevieve.
Maybe Ariadne Celeste?
Maybe Ariadne Celeste?
Saskia Anouk or Smilla Lorelai
My mn is a family name but my parents just liked my fn. I'd have liked a family name belonging to someone I'd actually known - the grandmother whose name I got had died before my parents were married. So, with a father named Cecil and a mother named Beatrice, I'd have appreciated Cecily Beatrice Anne.
