Would you..?
If there is a slim chance you can use your favorite name, would you use the name on yourself? Legally change so it’s now your first or (second)middle name?(e.g. your SO doesn’t love it, it’s similar to another child’s name, you don’t want kids etc etc)

I’ve wondered about it but I have to say No, I wouldn’t. They simply don’t feel like “me”. I love them so I do find it sad that I’ll never get to use all my favourite names but at the same time, they’re not MY name. And since I’m never be the mother of 50+ kids, I’ll just have to accept that I can’t use them all.

Not just for the sake of using it, but if I had to change my name I'd definitely pick one of my favorites that I would have otherwise wanted to use on a baby.

No, I tend to think of names like I think of fashion.
There are some styles I love and would like to wear but the appeal would be diminished if I couldn't take them off.
I can have kooky taste sometimes, but really I'm a utilitarian dresser.If I were going to think about acquiring a name like getting a tattoo...maybe.
But there's no 1 name so personally meaningful to me right now that I feel a need to carry it with me everywhere.

I like my name but a couple of my favourite names I think I could pull off are:
Priscilla
Mabel
Adriana (I was actually going to be named this)
Odessa
Meredith

I wouldn’t use Felicity in my own name but I love my own name. My first name was in the top five the year I was born but I still haven’t met many. My middle name Agnes receives a lot of hate on the boards but I love it because it’s unusual for my generation and I’ve never seen it as a filler middle name.I can’t see myself as anything other than the names I have.

I think Agnes is really nice. :)
