Name Suggestions?

[eternal-vows.livejournal.com]

The thing is, I don't like my birth certificate name for personal reasons. (I have nothing against the name itself. If my friend were named it, I would be neutral about it. It's the way I feel about Alex, or Jennifer, or...etc.) I want to rename myself (not legally, just...you know), but the only name I can think of is Kathy (short for Katherine) that I'm sort of comfortable about

I joined this community because I hope that you guys could help pick out names that I might like, as I'm horrible at coming up with names, even if I have a name website right in front of me. I prefer fairly popular names that won't cause double takes (I'm in America). Please don't make long lists, sorry! Female names, preferably 1-4 suggestions per person.

So. That's it.

ETA: After being pointed to Nymbler by all these awesome people, I've made a list! Of course, I couldn't help but add some boy names too. :) I don't think I could use them though...(The order is NOT the order of favorites or anything.)

Katherine (Kathy)
Sky
Taylor
Caitlin
Annabelle
Sara
Aisling
Alicia
Kayden (Kaye)
Audrey (Thank you for this name, commenter!)

Boys:
Dallas
Alec
Jason

Out of them all, I'm definitely favouring Katherine and Kayden. Aisling, Annabelle, and Sky are more of a cool-names-I'll-never-use, and the rest are just okay...

*still pondering on this*

Oh, thanks for the list! And I'm glad I'm not the only one. :) I've tried Katherine inside one of those things...I forgot the website...I only know I type in "Baby Names World" in Google. Anyway, the names that came out were similar to the ones you left me, and I couldn't seem to find one that...suited me.

Thank you for your efforts though! :)

...That website was awesome. I just went on it, and I loved Kayden which was one of the first names to show up, except it was a guy's name, but now I have confidence in it! Thank you a million times over!

lol I hate my name, and it's on that list!

"Cheryl"

I like my fn/mn combo: Cheryl Michelle, but I hate Cheryl. Everyone calls me Cher, and I don't much like it either.

Definitely check out Nymbler (http://nymbler.com)!

[eternal-vows.livejournal.com]

Yup, I've got that. It's a great site!

[eternal-vows.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

lol, I'm the only one I know! But yeah, it's a gross name.

Scarlett
Audrey
Erin
Aurora
Lydia
Fiona

I cheated, there's 6. :)

*pretends I can't count*

[eternal-vows.livejournal.com]

Ooh, Audrey is definitely one to consider. Scarlett and Aurora too...I'm afraid I know a girl named Erin, and Lydia is a bit awkward due to a book that my friends and I teased all the time in Year 5, and Fiona reminds me too much of Shrek. >.<

But I absolutely love Audrey, Scarlett, and Aurora! Thank you!

(And don't worry--that was *obviously* five names...)

3/6 is prettttty good! I forgot about Shrek. Now Fiona is totally ruined! lol

Glad I could help!

I did this! I went with a variation of my middle name. I'd always wanted to go by that name, since I was about 7 or so. So I went ahead and did it. It's been really hard to transition and a lot of people have a hard time with it, but it's important to me. I second the Nymbler suggestion. When you find the right new name (that looks right, sounds right, & has special meaning for you) you'll know :] Good luck!

Re: *pretends I can&#39;t count*

[eternal-vows.livejournal.com]

Oops, now I feel vaguely guilty about ruining a name.

[eternal-vows.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I don't have a middle name I could use. But thanks for the luck! I'll need it. >.< After posting this comment, I think maybe I'll edit this entry and post up a list of names I found okay.

[eternal-vows.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I just realized Kayden's also a girl name too. Well, I've compiled a list and now time to edit this entry! :) Thanks for pointing Nymbler out to me!

Re: *pretends I can&#39;t count*

[aintlifesosweet.livejournal.com]

lol, don't!
I loooove Taylor, Caitlin and Sara. Those are on my baby names list!

Re: *pretends I can&#39;t count*

[eternal-vows.livejournal.com]

:) Taylor is from "Jellicoe Road" by Melina Marchetta; Caitlin is from "Lucas" by Kevin Brooks; and Sara is just from the fact that the 'h' on Sarah irritates me.

But, yes, they're lovely names. :)

Could be worse. Fiona was also the slut-kitten in EuroTrip.

Scotty doesn't know.

[eternal-vows.livejournal.com]

lol. Well, I'm leaning toward Kaye today. Just the wrote-out form of K, which could be Kayden or Katherine. I'm still deciding. :)
