How important is a name? Ask yourself this question: How well do you think your name describes you? If your answer isn’t “perfectly,” perhaps it’s time to reflect on better alternatives. I've never liked my given name, Shelly, so I just recently legally changed my first name to Sofia! And I am so happy! 

People routinely change many aspects about how they present themselves: the clothes they wear, the careers they pursue, the habits they demonstrate. Why not their names? Names are assigned to us at birth by the generation prior — and for various reasons. Our names are used everyday, and maybe can be optimized to more fully express our personalities.

Why not pick the name that reflects who you really are???

The great majority of people who change their names are newlyweds, divorcees, transgenders, or people looking to refine their personal brand. Some occupations encourage name changes, like actors and musicians. Spies assume cover identities...

William Shakespeare’s Juliet famously says: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” It means that what we call something is not important - its essence remains the same regardless of what we call it. I'm still who I am, I simply feel more blissful to be called Sofia : )

XOXO
