Should I change my first name?!


Question: Should I change my first name!?
Im going to a new school, and want to try to become more outgoing and not so shy!. I heard that changing your name could lead to changing your personality, so I thought that changing my name from Dana to Ashley would help!. What should i do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Whether you go by "Dana" or "Ashley", you will always be you!.

And this is a GOOD thing!.

You don't need to become someone else, Dana!. You can develop better social skills without changing who you are (whether in name or in spirit)!.

I encourage you to keep you name!. There's no need to leave a former identity behind (particularly during adolescence when identity formation is such a crucial task) in order to more fully develop/explore/establish who you are and who you are becoming!.

Best of luck in your new school,

OMG, my best friend since we were in 7th grade is the shyest person & her name is Dana we are 49 & 50 years old now!. I would never suggest anyone change their name but when I saw your name & thought there might be a connection I started laughing!. Yes, I think if you feel more outgoing as Ashley then do that!. I don't know how you go about it but you can start telling everyone that you go by Ashley!. If they ask why you can just tell them it is along story to not go into it for now!. Years later you might want to tell the story!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

your name is u, u change it, u some how change yourself, with this name change new people u meet will meet ashley not dana so u and that new friend will have a new feeling towards that name so yes ur personality will or might change, people who knewu by dana will begin to see that change also and will gradually adapt thus changing their attitude towards u and ur life will change u will teach urself to be a new person!. if this is what u want, think positive, if u are shy be opposite but not negative, be what u want to be, picture the perfect u then act upon it and change!. not just ur name is what defines u but u!. think positive wake up every day happy!. who cares what other people think, be urself,say what u want,even if it is rude , its not like they will hurt u, be glad to be alive!. if this dosent work smoke somepot and u will get about the same desired effect> be happy ;-]Www@Answer-Health@Com
