I saw a girl with the coolest name ever. Sure it was a girl name, but that wouldn't have bothered me. It had accents and apostrophes all over the place so it looked almost nothing like it sounded. To pronounce it it would come out something like NOna aMAY Ee. But printed on her nametag was Noname. No Name? Awesome!

I like names ending with the -a. I know this is quite unusual for a male, so my options are quite limited (I wouldn't mind having a female-esque name but legally it would not be possible in my jurisdiction) but the Slavic language has a few nice male names ending with an -a.
So I guess I would go for either Ivica or so if I would be able to change my name.

But I am not keen on changing my first name. I would love to change my surname though. First of all it sounds awful, living abroad few people can pronounce or remember it, and apart from my parents I have no contacts left whatsoever with my family (who are mostly terrible people to be honest). So I would love to change surname, unfortunately it is an expensive procedure except for those in the UK who can use deed poll.

I've always felt as if my name was Jane, I know someone thought my name was Jane once.

Right now, my favorite name is Lisa. It was also my favorite name for the longest of time when I was little. It'd also go really, really well with my last name (which I'm not saying on here).
