My name: Fiona Jane

---

I’d pick Marina, Josephine or Faye — those are what I think would suit me best. Today I think I’d go with Josephine Faye.

If it didn't have to make any sense at all with my surname:

---

Anastasia Natalia
...it makes me sound very Russian or very Italian, of which I am neither lol but I do love Russian names. I would probably pronounce Anastasia as an-uh-STAY-zhuh though, and go by Stasia (STAY-zhuh)

---

For something that makes sense:

---

Dorothea Juliet

---

I have a great aunt Dorothy and my mom's middle name is Dorothy, and I love Thea! I also love Juliet, so this would be great

Even though Anastasia is my favourite name on this list,
I would rename myself Josephine (or Josie) as I wouldn't think a sweet/frilly name would suit me.

---

I would also identify as a Callista *Callie*, Natalia or Xenia

I deleted all the names I didn't think fit me and everything I'm left with ends with a! Um... Helena Arabella or Helena Delphina. I think Diana or Nadia could also fit me as a first name, maybe Cora too.

Marina Juliet -- This is my fave girl combo. It doesn't especially feel like me, but it is beautiful and that's good enough this AM. Cora comes in second place as it's the name of my ggm.

Ah, this is difficult. I like so many for kids, it kind of makes them unusually for me haha. I’d probably go for Josephine. Maybe Josephine Amina Faye, so I could keep my nn Jam. I really like Fae for a child’s middle, but I nothing else goes with Josephine Amina, and sharing middles isn’t much of an issue.

Cora Faye. I was also highly tempted by Zenobia and Arabella.

Alice and Laura are names I'd use IRL, so I'll have to be twins ...

---

Alice Jeanette Susanna
Laura Juliet Helena

---

Except, IRL it'd be Alice Jeanette Susannah with an -h and Laura Juliet Helen without an -a.

Dorothea Alice, called Thea

---

I’d suit Thea I think.

Callista Juliet

Callista Juliet

Susanna Josephine :)

Callista Helena Alice

---

2nd runner up

---

Xenia Arabella Juliet

Keziah Alice

---

Nadia was a close second. I think those two feel most like me.

I think I would make a good Helena, and Marina is close to my current name so probably Helena Marina.

---

I considered Alice and Josephine when I legally changed my first name, but I don't think they would suit me.

Faye Marina Katinka

---

Marina and Katinka would be honouring. Marina Carina would have been the only other option to use 2 honouring names, but that just sounds silly :)

Off of this list, I really like the names Callista, Laura, Josephine, Jeanette, and Diana.

---

I have a pretty traditional name, so I'm not sure if Callista would fit me? But it's /really/ cool. So maybe Callista Josephine? Callista Jeanne would be cool af.

nt.

For me:
Josephine Alice ''Josie''

---

For a child:
Callista Anastasia ''Callie''

---

Anastasia would be honoring.

Xenia Juliet. I love Xenia. I'd enjoy correcting the spelling of the ignorant.

Laura Marina

---

I don't feel like any of them would really suit me well, but Laura would work, and I just like Marina.
If I were naming a baby, it's just as difficult ... maybe Callista Juliet.

Nadia Faye Zenobia

---

Nadia Faye Zenobia "hope fairy life of sky "

---

I've always been drawn to Nadia, though I'm not sure why, because the sound itself doesn't seem that great to me - I can just easily imagine answering to it. Faye, because it's one of the most relatable (as in, I know several people named it) names on the list, plus I like the minimalism of it, particularly next to a name as haughty seeming as Zenobia. Zenobia is just for fun. And I think the meaning all together has a nice expansive optimistic energy; it kinda reminds me of Pandora's Box...

---

Runner up:

---

Yolanda Jedidah Lola "violet friend/beloved of sorrows" -

---

I like the fun retro vibe of Yolanda, I like purple, I like how the ola-ola and da-da repetitions sound a little ridiculous, I like how Lola sorta connects to my grandmother, I like how the meaning makes me think of a song called "The Violet Hour" (which then makes me think of dusk/sunsets), and I like how Jedidah contains the word Jedi.
