In reply to I'm thinking of changing my name, posted by Dinah on March 1, 2004, at 0:19:43
I thought of changing my name for years. I even had my best friend call me by the new name. I don't think my real name fits me too well.. to me it's sort of a bimbo-ish name, and it has the baggage of my mom telling me that my dad over-ruled her first choice of a name, and this was a compromise.
My therapist ruined the impulse, by asking me what type of person I'd be with the new name, and asking why I couldn't just be that person without the name change. Drat.
