Baby Names & Renaming
I'm fascinated with names. I love learning their meanings and origins. I constantly record names that I love that I may use if I have children in the future. However, I'm also considering legally changing my name because I dislike it so much. Listed below are names that I like, male and female, divided into two tables. Names that I am possibly considering for myself are printed in this colour.

Surnames
I'm also not a huge fan of my surname either for reasons I don't want to share. I plan on either taking my husband's surname, if I get married, or legally adopting a not yet created pen name, which I will begin to use when I publish more of my work. Here are some surnames I've discovered that I may or may not use.
