If you could change your first name what would you have ?

I love my first name - I know where she got it from, but why I’ll never know 😘

Mine is a classic, ‘royal’ name, and TBH I’ve never wanted to change it.
I do really like Helena, but a Gdd has nabbed that one!

Love my first name but where my parents got it from I will never know. Never met another until I was about fourteen. Much more popular now.

I like Edwardian names like Kitty, Milly, Annie, Georgina.
My sister in law shortens my name to Anne and I really like that.

I have always liked Elaine.

Always disliked my first name but have stuck with it as it would upset my parents to change it. I am named after a saint and that has a,ways seemed too much to live up to.

Top three choices:
Penny
Gerry
Liz

I’d love to be an Astrid or if a boy Florian. On nights out with my girlfriends, I often give myself another first name😁

My parents were from Southern Ireland so all us kids have Irish names. When I went to grammar school which was not Catholic (my primary school was as we are Catholic), I hated my Irish name. I wanted to have an English name such as Susan, Pauline, Jacqueline etc. Now I am proud of my name and my heritage.

Me too, such an Irish Catholic name, I went to school with Bernadette’s, Theresa’s and Mary’s.

I wanted to be Tina or Tracey.
