Great idea, Dinah, changing the middle name then using it. I also don't like my first name-- it's dated, sounds kinda b*mbo-ish, doesn't fit my personality, and I don't like the story of how my parents picked it. My chosen name is Elizabeth. (Catherine always reminds me of catheter, so I don't like it much. But I like the old fashioned multi-syllabic names too. How about Rebecca?)

I think my T ruined my idea of changing it a few years ago-- she asked me what kind of personality characteristics I'd have with the name Elizabeth, then said how about just adopting those characteristics without changing the name? So I thought maybe it was some kind of self-acceptance issue. Well here it is years later, my self-acceptance is better, but I still don't like my name. Maybe it's time to reconsider...

P.S. I did not asterisk B*MBO-- the program did it.
