If you could change your name, would you and to what?

Yep I can't stand my name. Besides being incredibly ugly, my parents made it up, so people tend to struggle with pronouncing it, and I always have to repeat myself two or five times when I introduce myself and it's always awkward/annoying/embarrassing (doesn't help that I'm already an anxious person when it comes to meeting people). I've never liked it and sometimes wish I'd started going by a nickname when I was younger and just starting school, but I guess back then as much as I hated my name, it still felt like "me". I feel like I've changed a lot in the last few years though, to the point where I no longer really identify with it and actually feel really weird and uncomfortable being called it irl.
I much prefer Reese and plan to make it my legal name at some point. It isn't the "prettiest" name or my favorite name but I like it and feel like it suits me. Plus it's been my nickname (among family) since I was little so I'm already used to being called it.

I'm happy with my first name- it's pleasantly rare and, in the UK, a name that manages to confuse everyone. However, I'd definitely change my middle name- I hate it with every fibre of my being. Instead, I'd choose the middle name 'Krystal'. I completely adore that name.

I hate my first name, i mean come on, Joshua. Id probably change it to Oscar or Zack.
I'd change my name back to Lilith (which is the name on my birth certificate). In the past I kind of planned to change it back when I turned 18, and to get sort of a new start in university with a new name, but it never happened. I may still do it when I leave for university, though, I'm not sure yet.

I wish my name was Lynn I hate my first name.
I wouldn't change my first name because I feel like it's a really important part of me now and I've grown to really like it.
I was almost called Isabella and used to wish that was my name because I really liked it. I've gone off it though after the whole Twilight craze, especially since I've got a boyfriend called Edward now. I can't even imagine how many jokes people would have made over the last few years
I do kind of wish I'd got my mum's last name instead of my dad's though. It's shorter, easier to pronounce and spell and I think it sounds nicer. They fought over whose name I would get and so they initially decided to hyphenate it before realising that was a terrible idea (my last name would have been stupidly long and complicated) and quickly changing my name. I actually have 2 birth certificates!
