I strongly suggest something that has lots of nickname potential, something like Kristina ๐Ÿค”

Also you'd be named after some random old lady in my family that planted IEDs for Nazis to step on during the occupation

I think that's all the reason you need.

Hm thank you

[โ€“] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Name yourself after me! Sophia

It's great sounding and aesthetically pleasing name

It'll also be really funny when people ask you how you chose your name and you tell them that you named yourself after a stranger on the same niche left wing internet forum you browse because they told you it'd be funny

Ok ๐Ÿ‘

Go with a name like Elizabeth or Catherine. A name that can be broken down into multiple different names/nicknames is flexible

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is really good advice.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Definitely. I like Amelia for this reason. It's got lots of nice variations, plus Earhart was a pretty cool white lady.

I guess I am white :(

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Just pick something from nature and act like it's a name.

Cairn

Hoodoo

Epiphyte (piphy for short)

Bluff

Corvid

Salamander

Duff

Or, pick a name that's difficult to read, something like Siobhan

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's your most-used emoji? Go with that.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the kind of horrible advice I needed. I guess I'm either ๐Ÿ‘, peltier-laugh , or deeper-sadness

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about a feminized version of peltier, like Peltunia

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is a good contender!

Lucille (Lucy for short)

  • Pick something with the same first letter as your last name, in case you ever become a comic book character.

  • Pick Zoe, Alice, or Emily. Be the stereotype.

  • Pick the most common girls' name from the year you were born.

  • Pick Karen because nobody picks Karen.

name urself after a woman u had a crush on! (if u ever did)

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

My favorite fem name is Hannelore. Lots of nicknames you can use, three syllables which is key, and it's sort of unique.
