    Default If you could change your real name right now

    What would you change it too and why?

    Default I wouldn't change my name, but I'll play!

    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:

    Zillah was an archetype
    The voodoo queen, the queen of wrath
    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!

    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.

    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.

    Unless you want to be a camp villain - in which case it sounds amazing.

    Is Jim a bit too obvious?

    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.

    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.
