I've been trying to chose something recently. Basically thinking of a name that I would give a daughter if I had one. It is not an easy thing to do since a lot of names I think of immediately remind me of someone I've known over the years. Then I realise I don't want to use a name just because it reminds me of someone.
I want a name that would give this theoretical daughter confidence in herself (a strange thing to be honest but it is important to me) and not some kind of name that she would be annoyed by in the long term. It is such a simple thing potentially but fraught with ideas and thoughts since it ends up defining someone in the end even if this someone is never going to exist.
Anyway, that is the main thing on my mind right now. There are names I like but they are also used by other people that I don't want my "daughter" to be associated with. Frustrating.
