Can I have some suggestions for changing my name?
I'm a 14 year old girl with the name Camden. I hate it. It's a boy name (not even a well-liked boy name at that) and it doesn't sound pretty or feminine or anything. I hate everything about it, especially when my older sister's name is Amanda
So, when I'm 18 I do plan on changing on my name, but I have no idea what I would choose. I'm not a big fan of my middle name, Nicole, so I don't want to go by that (also, I think it's too close to my mom's name, which is Nikki), but I do want my new future name to go well with my middle name.
Some of my favorite names are Serena, Vienna, Sasha, Ella, Francesca, Noelle, and Eden, if that helps.
BQ: How much would it cost to change your name in Michigan if anyone knows?
BQ2: If anyone else has changed their name, do people still want to call you by your old name, or did people accept your change?
@Courtney First off, I just want to say that I've heard people complain about you on here and I agree, you can be really rude (and that's coming from a kid. Everyone knows that kids are the most bluntly truthful), but I doubt you care, so I won't lecture you with that.
I will say that I'm not meaning to be whiney and I've discussed this with my parents. They said that they understand that I'm the one who has to live with the name forever, so I should at least like it and they were very understanding. I don't mean to disrespect them in anyway, but sometimes you have to put your happiness first in life and that is what I'm doing. Thanks for saying my name is cute, but unfortunately, I just don't agree and not many people in my life have told me that. Actually, in third grade, I had a volunteer parent in my room straight up tell me that I had a weird name, so that may have lowered my opinion of it somewhat.
Also, please don't disrespect my sister

Please don't change your first name. Your name is fine. It's not misspelled, it's not ugly, and it's easy to pronounce. NOT changing my name was one of the best decisions I ever made growing up. What I say to kids on here who want to change their first name is, 1.) choose a name, and 2.) wait until you're 18 to see if you still want to change it [to that name.] and 3.) If you are not %100 sure, DO NOT. The fact that you don't even know what to change it to just proves you shouldn't. If your name is that bad to you - come up with a nickname and ask people to call you it. Most people won't call you by a new name anyway. They're used to Camden.
here's a link on name changing in your state: http://www.wikihow.com/Change-Your-Name-in-Michiga...
Also, when you get older, most people won't call you by your first name - but your last. =) Everyone calls me by my last name.
