If you could have been born with a different name...

We live in an age where we can pick our names, even change them officially, or use nicknames to dictate our own identity. But I'm curious what name or names you'd have thought better suit you!

(Gender doesn't need to matter here btw!)

I would have chosen Skye!

📛 Your turn!

In one of my previous jobs, the foreman nicknamed me "Hannibal"... I always liked it. If I was to legally change my name, Hannibal would be it. As an homage to Hannibal Barca, the Carthaginian general who crossed the Alps & beat Roman forces three times in a row. They couldn't do anything about him until he was lured back to northern Africa, where he & his army were finally defeated by Scipio & his legionaries.

I've always dislikedy name, and I've always tried to look for another one but never found one. They all feel like they belong to someone else. For the most part I feel I have no name and would be fine if I didn't need one.


At first I thought Zach or Zachary would be ok, and I used it for quite a while, but is too foreign for where I live so realistically I couldn't use it outside the internet. It's from a video game character I like. Then I thought maybe be Artemi, which is a similar "name of a Greek good or whatever" name as the one I have legally. But same situation is not common. Same from a video game character. I like Uriel, but is viewed as a male name (I'm female physically but agender by how I view myself).


If I could I would probably choose Kerjehn though. Is a made up name for an MMO, and the guild I'm in call me that. I have good memories of playing there and be known like that. Idk. Maybe its just the current name until I find another one that grabs my attention all over again

I like the names Miredian or Shaylin. At the time, my mom said that she didn't know anyone with the same name she gave me. Now there are at least 2 or 3 people with the same name wherever I go. I would like to go by my middle name, but its in Japanese and when people pronounce it, it sounds like "kill me". I guess it could have been worse, my grandmother wanted to name me "Nancy".
