Thread: Anyone else ever get that feeling???

  1. #1

    Anyone else ever get that feeling???

    I was so happy I could get my name changed on here. I feel like after awhile my mer-name didn't really fit the mer I have become. I use OdetteDespairr as my modeling name, and for that, I still feel like Odette. But in mermaid mode it just wasn't right. I fixated on Nerenia a few months ago and hadn't been able to shake the feeling that that's the name I was supposed to have as a mer.

    I feel like Mermaid Nerenia (near-een-e-uh) is really my true mer self.

    Thanks again Loving Mods

    It took me awhile to find mine. It may take you a bit to find yours but once you do you'll know. I feel great typing in Nerenia now whereas I was always uneasy typing in Odette.

    I'm currently trying to settle on a name...I want it to be a name that's likable. So far I've only found one name that I really like out of hundreds I've looked at. Zyla. I really like it, I think. My VERY picky friend really likes it too so that's a good sign. I've liked so many but my picky friend doesn't like many names at all and like I said, I want it to be a name I REALLY like and other people REALLY like too. Zyla is the only one to pass. xD

    That's the main reason I'm still held back from the name, haha. I also want a name where the way it's sad is very prominent and straightforward. xD I personally say Zai-Lah. At least it's better than some of the other names I considered. Xylana, Nezzie, Nilla, Xia, etc.

    For a while I use to go by as Zarina, now I can't even see what made me think of that. Bellasea is just such a better fit for my mer-sona

    I do... Kalani just doesn't really seem to fit me. It seems so tropical, and that really isn't the mer I am. Kinda hard to explain, but I just don't enjoy it anymore, but I would feel bad if I changed it too. Does anyone else seem to have that issue??

    Melusinah (Mel-ooo-seen-uh) is my gaming tag. But its kinda become a part of me as well. Names are very important, in any aspect.

    I think we all need to have a name changing event.try to come up with names wih each other that's meaningful for all if us.

    I was stoked when I found mine as well, I was looking for 5 months for a name, and fell in love with Luna, and Saphhire, and Saphira, and more, but many were taken, one day I was reading and came across the name Harmony, and was like, "that's my name, that's my mermaid name" and it worked! :-D I was pretty excited, but I had a 50 plus list of old celtic and latin names that I was taking apart and piecing together, so I understand the finding of the perfect one, it doesn't fit until it does, and then it just feels right.

    Just realized I'm going to have to change my name once i make my tail!! Perhaps I'll use my mermaid name:nixie or perhaps I'll be merfinally XD

    Yes, I am glad that names can be changed! I just called myself Rapunzel because that is what people call me. I usually call myself Revontuletar in most places but for some dumb reason I didn't do that here. But I couldn't think of anything else and I didn't have a mermaid name at the time. But I do now (my mermaid name is Aino Revontuletar) and so I am thinking of changing it

    I have no clue what to do for mine. I was thinking MermaidAqua since its my nickname/campname but I believe someone already is using that name. :/

    I plan on changing my name sometime soon. Spotted Catfish will always be near and dear to me, but I really want something a bit more mermaid-y sounding. I still have to find that name.

    I've decided to keep my name. Andrea. I don't need a new name. The mermaid thing is a part of who I am.

    Edit: but of course Somebody is using my name already. (Andrea is my real name. Born and raised. On my birth certificate and everything.)

    Can I be changed to Aphrosandrea?

    Aurora seems to fit my merself the best currently. It's not my real name, but I just didn't feel comfortable using my real name for my mermaid self. It didn't seem to fit, at all. I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses a different name for their mermaid name, I'm new to the entire thing and am only familiar with a few mermaids, who all use their real name as far as I can tell.

    The mermaid part of my persona is definitely Azaiya. I can't really remember where it came from, actually? I'm not sure it came from anywhere, but it has always felt right to me.

    I think that it's interesting that we feel the need to choose different names apart from our given, human ones. Putting on the tail does sort of make you feel the need to take on a new identity.

    Names are really important and powerful. I think that's amazing! Taking a new or different name can change us.
