My Mother named me something she had admired to name her daughter when she was a young child. I had struggled with accepting my name, as it is pretty rare to hear, my whole life. I even went by a shortened version of my middle name my freshman year of HS -- then I started to love my name.
In the beginning of July my mother and I had a falling out when she told me that she should have put me up for adoption and now every time I hear my name I get mad and think of her.
I will still go by my given name professionally (I'm a singer/songwriter) because I'm too established to change it now, and I will more than likely not change it officially, but I need something else to go by.
I tried to go by different shortened versions of my name, but it didn't help me, so i want to go by something completely new and something that suits my personality.
Two of my favorite names are Charlotte and Victoria -- but I see those as very "proper" names, which -- I'm a lady, but I'm not proper proper. LOL If that makes sense.
I want something different, not overused like Kate and Jennifer. (My mom and my best friend are both named Jennifer.)
Here are some things about me, please think of a name to go well with my personality: music, singing, travel, Las Vegas, movies, photography, theatre, acting, tattoos, animals, Heath Ledger. LOL that's about all.
Please don't tell me that I should just accept my name, I already know this and I already have my heart set on changing it, no matter how temp it may be. Thanks loads.
