HelpRe: name improvement
in reply to a message by Scarlett Rose *
I think Leah Elizabeth is a lovely name. I know that it is common and and I can see how you would dislike that. There have often been times I have not liked my own name, but at the end of the day it is my name.
Now you have a new name though. I don't think Anastasia is a difficult name, I suppose there is some difficulty in figuring out how to pronounce it. I think it can be difficult to transition. Your family has likely always known you as Leah, so getting them to call you Anastasia might be the most difficult part. However, if you start introducing yourself as Anastasia at work and school, etc. that might be easier to transition. However, I have met several women who go by their chosen name or their middle name and their first name, and it gets very very confusing for everyone.
Best wishes.
