What would you change it too and why?
If I were going to change my name right now, the very first thing that pops into my head is Zillah. The first time I heard this name was in 88 Lines About 44 Women:
It just always stuck out to me since then. I name all of my (female) characters in video games Zillah. I like S/Z names and names that end with Hs, like mine. It's pretty unique and fits the bill, so!Quote:
Zillah was an archetype
The voodoo queen, the queen of wrath
Then I'd have to change my last name to something else, because Zillah Cobb sounds ridiculous.
I've always wanted to change my name to my middle name, Elayne. But when I hear my middle name and last name without my first name, it sounds do incomplete.
I like Sam/Samantha.
Zhayvar Qaxtain. I want to be a wizard.
Not sure about my first and middle off the top of my head, but I would remove my last name to something with an African background after I've researched which part of the continent my ancestors came from.
Why I'd want to do it, to remove the mark that's been stained from the oppressors of slavery.

Actually, I wouldn't want to change my name, but being a big Dune fan I'd actually kind of like to stick Leto in there somewhere.
But it sounds so plain ;__________;Quote:

Jean-Luc Picard. But then, to live up to the greatness of the name, I'd actually have to be Patrick Stewart, and obviously that's an impossible life goal.
Zamora, because it's still cool and easy to pronounce since people seem to have trouble pronouncing my real name.
Is your real name Cthulu? People suck at pronouncing Cthulu.
I would change my name to Sir Albert Cocksworth.
It's Cthulhu anyway. Everyone always leaves out the second h.
Y'know, as I was writing it, I felt it looked a little empty, but I couldn't pinpoint exactly what was missing. Cthulhu. That's much better.
I'd pull a Teller and just name myself Pike.
o_O. Pronounced "Oh Underscore Oh".
Ninja'ing it before Mike gets it. It's as great a name in meatspace as it is online, because your first name would be Oh and that makes for great situational comedy.
From Bradley to Garth. Garth Fagan.... I like it
Why is it meatspace, and not meetspace?
I am not meat.
(Okay, I am, but still.)
Fluttershy
(not really)
The Final Fanatic in me says Cloud. There was a guy in my jobseekers club (enforced government thing) a while back who I didn't know the real name of who claimed to have changed his name legally to Cloud but I'm pretty sure the supervisor called him "Robert" or something, so yyyyyeah.
Hmmmmm
How about Cloud Squall Dale
shortened to Cloud S. Dale
That could work.
Then the Trekkie in me says we also need to get into long distance space travel.
Captain Cloud S Dale of the USS Pegasus
Encapsulate ALL my fandoms!!
Hercules Rockefeller.
and that's the end of that chapter.

Let me guess, it's pronounced "Throatwarbler Mangrove"?Quote:

There's always naming yourself after a car as well.
The name's Ford Focus. Hmmmmm....

Your last name is like 1000 angels singing, though.Quote:

I'd quite like to change one of my middle names to Formy actually. That way, I'd be either:

I prefer the second one to be honest.
For a second I thought this said Rabbity Babbity.Quote:

I've given serious consideration to changing my name legally to Bleys Jackson Maynard, but I've stopped out of consideration for my stepfather.
Wasn't it Babbity Rabbity... and the cackling stump?Quote:
