Because I've been meaning to do it for years.


Because I'm not aiming for a big name.

I think all tree would better suit a female forest elf, but if you're sure about it, whatever. In my own and non-english opinion, seeing names like "Antti" as quite normal, I think Juno is best.

Would you be so kind as to tell us your present first name? Also, why do you want such a weird name, call yourself John and you'l fit in just fine. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Ok, fair enough.

But why do you want to change your name to something which, in your society, is certain to attract attention on a daily basis?

You said:
By choosing a flashy name it seems that maybe you're interested in redefining yourself. To be honest, I don't think there's anything wrong with a person trying to redefine themself; people do it all the time, in different ways: changing hair colour, tattoos, moving to a new place, etc.

But if you want to redefine yourself--or the way others see you--maybe you should examine the reasons for it.

Anyway, just a thought. I mean no offense. On a similar topic, ever heard of a firefighter named Optimus Prime?

Keita is also old Icelandic word for cow urine... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm impressed that old Icelandic distinguishes between different animal urines. What, pray tell, is dog urine?

Three letter name, starts with I

I'm concerned that if you can't settle on a name you really want and are going through such things as asking strangers on a forum what we think, that you may not be happy with your new name for a long period of time. There have been many times in my life that I heard names that I thought were really cool or pretty or much better than my real name but if I had changed my name to them I would now be unhappy because I no longer feel the same way towards them. I think that would be particularly the case with a really unusual name.

I'm asking what you strangers think of them, like sticking your toe into the sea to see if it's too cold.
