Name Change

[una-waiting.livejournal.com]

For over twenty years I've hated my name more than I can say. The name itself isn't that bad, I suppose, but it's very much not me.


The name: Amanda Doreen Egan (pronounced EE-gan)

I love the last name and intend to keep it through marriage. But the rest has got to go. Any suggestions to things that would go well with my last name?

About me: 27, female. I prefer names that are less common, no extra y's and h's to make a boring name original, something that can be shortened is nice, open to men's names, nothing too girly.

Names I have liked that I just don't think go with my last name: Regan, Cree, Rowan, names that begin with E.

Other names I love but feel too cheesy with or know someone of the name already: Sigourney (known), Michael (too masculine), Amara (know a Mara), Scarlet (I'd feel cheesy), Ella (too common these days)

Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated. Here's a picture of me so that you can get an idea of what suits me (except these days I'm platinum blond)





EDIT: I like names that begin with E very often, but I don't want a first and last name that start with the same letter.

If you made a character that was a self-insert, what would her name be? Who's your mary-sue?

Also I think you kind of come over as an Alice or Alissandria. Or Alexandria, what ever spelling works for you.

Also Shannon?
