    I know at some point in our life we would think, hey what if I had this name or that name? Well, what was or is your ideal name. And why? Is there a unique story behind it or a reason. Or is it a nickname you have become fond of?

    I really hate the capital letter G because whenever I write my name in cursive or print, the first letter turns out gross. I really like Robbie (a spinoff of my last name) as a nickname, but nobody calls me that irl..

    Well it´s hard to answer that question. I´ve always imagined myself as a boy so I gave me a lot of different names. Every single one seemed perfect for each period of time. Some of them weren´t even real names tho. So I´ll put here the two best. Vyette - very nice and cool name but I really can´t use it irl. Much better is Nicholas ^^ I love that nickname Nick and it´s also male variation of my name - perfect :slight_smile:

    Always felt a unique connection to Mary, so some variation of Mary (Miriam, Maya, Maria) would be pretty cool.

    Ever since I read Ranger's Apprentice, I've grown quite fond of Will. Nothing I can really explain, but I guess if I tried, I would say that Will makes me think of a quiet person(like me) with hidden danger, agile and fast, stuff like that.

    I like my name, I like its meaning and connotations and I don't think I'd change it. But IF I did, I'd trade it for Daria, Maya or Alex.

    Well, since I got to pick it is the one I have. Alec. It means fighter or defender and that reminds me of perseverance. My middle name is Joseph which has a lot of hopeful symbolism to it.

    I'd feel bad if I changed my name, but if I did it would be Tristan Elijah instead of Kiya Marney

    I'm just another Adam in a sea of weirdness,and my middle names just sort of add to that. It beats what my parents had planned.

    I don't like my given name, but also don't think I'd change it. I'm quite fond of the name Danika/Danica and Chanté but I don't feel like either would suit me. I just wish I could be more creative with my signature. It's so...lame. Oh well :shrug:

    My ideal name is Colin. It's a diminutive of Nicholas which has a connection to St Nicholas, since I was obsessed with saints when I was younger. And it has a lot of meanings; "victorious people", "dark" and "dove" being my favorites. And I can make nicknames from it, the ending -n makes it sound more complete. It's also a family name, my family is partially Irish. It's a heard of name but not too common where I live and it ages well (not outdated or too modern-sounding). I didn't want a unisex name either and Colin is 100% male. However, even if it did become unisex, I have my middle name to back me up. Oh and I like the link to Colin Creevey, he reminds me of me :lol:

    The only issue is, the surname I go by (my paternal grandparents') also ends in -n and that repetition kind of bugs me :/ I guess that's a minor annoyance though.

    Nicholas comes from Nikolaos which means "victory of the people", niki=victory, laos=people in greek.
