If you could have been born with a different name...
(Gender doesn't need to matter here btw!)
I would have chosen Skye!
📛 Your turn!
@Heather225 YT is already a shortened version of my name and I actually like it better than my name lol so maybe I'll choose YT
@OhHelloThereImHere 🤔🤔🤔🤔 yt🤔🤔 is it short for yet-ti??? Or young tiger??
Plot Twist:
They were named You Tube at birth :P
@jesusredeemedme2425 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Heather225
Gr8 and fun thread! Thanks so much for starting and sharing it!
Idk what name I’d choose if I could change it. I’ve grown to eventually appreciate my name. It’s part of my identity, part of who I am.
But IF and that’s a very gigantic IF I did change it, either one of the following (in no particular order:)
- Eric Draven
- The Undertaker
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@akunknown the undertaker😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Tinywhisper11
There really is someone who was called The Undertaker. The Undertaker was a character he played for 30 years but he is a real person who was also called Taker by some for short later on. Nowadays while some still call him The Undertaker or Taker, he commonly goes by his real name publicly more so than he ever did as far as I know. I chose that name bc I was/still am a fan of The Undertaker character mainly bc of how he played it and how dedicated he was to it.
@akunknown that's gonna have to be your nickname on 7 cups from now on😎
@Tinywhisper11
I’ll think about it but for myself idk if it fits me tbh
@akunknown
As a nickname I mean
@akunknown ok I'll stop calling you it😁❤
@akunknown
you wouldn't dream of messin with someone with those names 😂 very fun i love it
@Heather225
Ha! No I would not but if I had any of those names, no one would mess with me either, even in the world of dreams 😂
But I really chose those names bc they sounded cool. I forgot to add Sting but it’s ok I already have 2 options so….
Probably... Kiara. <3
I've grown to love that name after using it on 7Cups <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 it's a pretty name ❤
Thank you <3
@Heather225 I was not given a name at birth, just a number. So at 18 I chose my own name, which is Lola 😁 Lola is a great name, but then I found out it means grandma in tagalog🙁 so now I would change my name to something cool like🤔
Sandy😁 no wait sand is my enemy ♿... Ok um what about
betty boop
or flame
or smurfette
It just means you are wise hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425 that's true 😂😂😂
@Tinywhisper11 do you hand out cookies?
@sadcat13 no I hand out money, for you to buy some sweets, or a toy😁
@Tinywhisper11 well, I can't complain 😁
@sadcat13 grandma Lola gives you 50pence.. Don't spend it all in one place deary
@Tinywhisper11 don´t worry, i won´t 😊 And i will draw you a picture after lunch for it 😊
@sadcat13 yaaay! Good little one ❤
@Tinywhisper11
i could see it
@Heather225 I'm about the right hight😂😂😂😂
@Tinywhisper11 "Smurfette" would definitely fit. 😃
@slowdecline48😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Heather225 Hannah. I just think it is such a cute and gentle name. I don't really like my own. It sounds like someone is about to scream at me
@sadcat13 Hannah is cute ❤ and really you don't like your real name!?!? I thought kitty is a great name😁
@Tinywhisper11 yesss, whenever someone calls me real name it sounds like they are mad at me and I'm just having a jump scare of what did a do? And turns out they just want to ask to pass the salt. And I'm just like nice.
@sadcat13 aww bless you ❤ maybe you should change your name to hannah, and your last name could be tiny or whisper😎
@Tinywhisper11 nahh, i don´t want to change my name. It is too much of a part of who i am, would get an identity crisis if i changed it 😂
@sadcat13 ok sticking to kitty is a good choice 😂😂😂😂
@Heather225 there are Alotttttt of name's but I will go with "vaidehi" I Love this name sooo much it means "she who was born from the furrow of the land." Also the name of Goddess Sita.
@Gargi07 that's a perfect name for you ❤❤ here's your 👑
@Heather225
I would name myself Ophelia ( I love the name, it sounds gentle and pure. It's a beautiful name) or
Maitreyi ( who is also mentioned in a number of Puranas, "is regarded as one of the most learned and virtuous women of ancient India" and symbolizes intellectual women in India, I love the name, it sounds really powerful and beautiful to me)
@NightingaleListens great choices ❤ Ophelia is a great name ❤
@Heather225
I would have loved to be called Charlie 🐈
@SleepyShyCat
Charlie the cat has a nice ring to it 🥰
@Heather225
Yes ^^ I'd change my name if I didn't have difficulties with change lol
@SleepyShyCat that would be cool 😎 cause I'm Lola. We'd be like the cartoon😁
@Tinywhisper11
Yes!! I loved Charlie and Lola as a kid xD
@SleepyShyCat that's us ❤😁 I've missed seeing you around, is everything ok?
@Tinywhisper11
Things have been difficult, I'm managing as best as I can, but It often means I don't have energy to engage with others irl or online 🩷
@SleepyShyCat I understand that sweetie ❤ I'm sorry things are hard for you right now😥 just never forget you are loved here, I love you ❤ and I'm always here for you, we all are. Gives you a giant tiny hug ❤
@Tinywhisper11 
@Heather225 i would name me lavender
@hyunjinnn ohhh! That's a pretty name ❤ lavender is so beautiful, it's my favourite scent
I got married in Korea and it is not customary for women to change their name. I told my partner that if I were to do a western tradition and take his family name, then screw it I’m gonna change my entire name to “Danger Kim.” It would be the Korean spelling for the English word, which also sounds like “Denzel” but it can also sound like if you put a “D” in front of “Angel”. My partner joked that he would change his name to “Megatron.”
Why let Danger be my middle name when it can be my first?
But if I were to really change it, I would either take David after my uncle who passed in Vietnam, or Almendro, the name of the man who gave my grandfather his visa so he could travel to Hawaii to work the pineapple plantations and later to Guam where he met my grandmother.
But I already have my grandfather’s family name in my middle name, so perhaps I would take my grandmother’s name, Josepha, and go by Joseph.
To clarify, I am AFAB (just letting everyone know that same-sex marriage is unfortunately not yet allowed in Korea, since I used my partner’s pronouns and am choosing masculine names). I just always felt I should have had a stronger sounding name. This is why I use my family name, which is also a masculine name, and always liked it when one of my Sergeants called me “Mitch.” My given name is incredibly feminine and I go by the masculine nickname for it, because I feel like it suits me better.
I feel my name is a verbal handshake and mine needs to match my personality. I’m waiting right now on my partner after a bad night’s sleep because he was feeling poorly and I had to be a strong presence for him to hang onto while he walked around trying to deal with some sudden vertigo. I walked him to his office to make sure he didn’t collapse, because I can carry him if he did.
Someone like that is definitely an Al or Mitch or Dave regardless of gender or presentation, I think!
@ProcessingMitchell excuse my ignorance but what does AFAB stand for??
Also yes David would be a great name for you ❤ a hero's name ❤
So shall we call you, David danger 😎 that would be cool ❤
@Tinywhisper11
I just googled it. It means "assigned female at birth" :)
@jesusredeemedme2425 ohhhh! Ok thanks kiara ❤❤
That’s right, glad someone else helped out with the answer!
Reminds me of a screenshot convo on Tumblr because AFAB, AMAB, and ACAB were trending acronyms at the time. Someone on Tumblr sent an ask: “I saw you have ‘ARAB’ in your bio. May I ask what it stands for?” And they replied “It means I’m Arabic.”
@ProcessingMitchell oh no 😂😂😂😂😂 I don't think that person understood😂😂😂😂😂
What does ACAB mean? I googled it and it meant something else. Thanks <3
