HelpRe: Opinions on gothic names pls
in reply to a message by GothicaAmaris
I'd argue Christina is already pretty gothic, depending on how you wear it. However, I do have some suggestions if you decide you really want to change it.
Crystal (Already similar sounding to Christina to ease confusion. Also goths have like... A thing with crystals)
Raven (Literally THE goth bird. Ravenna could also work if you want more of a namey name)
Guinevere (No reason. Just vibes)
Amethyst (Because of the crystal, also popular in gothic culture)
Scarlett (ALSO the color of blood, but more recognizable as a name. Also has the word 'scar' in it if that matters to you)
Tempest (Essentially means storm, also just vibes)
Arachne (Means 'spider' in Greek)
As for the names you posted, ehh. Not a fan. They're all very cartoony and hard to imagine on a real person. And especially they will age poorly- How would "Ghostina" look on a resume? I'd choose something that not only ages better but sticks out a lot less. Sidenote, I'd recommend not changing your name just to fit your aesthetic. Your aesthetic might change over time, but you'll be stuck with that name. Also, it's very hard to change your name depending on where you live. Just look at me, the guy who's been in legal purgatory for a year because I want to change my name.
