Picture And A Name Question

[Guest Quinn]

Hey there. Don't worry, I'm not going to have a long rambling update on my life or anything - things have been pretty stagnant lately, just materialistic stuff like high school graduation approaching and whatnot.

Still, I come bearing a more recent image of myself. It's not the best; I'm dressed up in my outfit that I was wearing to play Hamlet in my English project.

My hair's gettin' a bit shaggy, but ah well. How am I lookin, you think?

The second question I have is about a middle name. My "real", given-at-birth name is Brigette, so I've acquired the nickname "B". My closer friends call me by it, my family generally does, my nieces and nephews tend to. It's feminine sounding, I suppose, but it's still neutral - just a letter, after all, so I realized that maybe I can use it as sort of a transition name. Quinn is a big and awkward change from Brigette, so I figured maybe I could change my middle name to something that starts with a B, so that there can still be that common latch.

Up until now I've really decided and liked Quinn Adrian, but alas. That's an A. Any good B suggestions out there you guys think might work? Any ideas are appreciated.

Wow,

Looking good Quinn!

As to names they are such a bother - it would be so nice if our parents would just go through all of that for us again!

Here is a link to a names site that is cued up to male names beginning with B - there is also a UNisex option.

If you want to sound like royalty go fo Quinn Barrington - there are a lot of others so don't despare.

Love ya,

Sally (diminutive form of Sarah - meaning Princess)

write a load of names you think are OK .. and some you think are "bleh" on bits of paper.. screw them all up and stick them in a box... pick one.. then like it or not stick with it..

Kids don't get to choose their names, parents inflict them on us.. That's my method.. let random chaos chose.

[Guest Evan_J]

Brandt

Brent

Beau

Bellamy

Bennett

Barrett

Bryce

Brannigan

And for the record, I had an online character that was named Brandt and his closest friends called him "B". and believe me, when they did it was anything but "girly" but then a lot of it will be dependent on "who you are" when you use it. If you feel girlish then it won't work and you'll feel upset.

Nice photo, Quinn. Are you seriously doing the part of Hamlet? How cool is that? That was always my favorite of Shakespeare's works.

You don't have to be in a hurry to find a name. Just find a few that are interesting to you and then just mull them over. Give each a little bit of time and testing. One will finally connect.

Okay, I never thought I'd ever say this, but just this once I wish I were back in high school and get the part of Hamlet.

[Guest hayden_jude]

Adorable, Quinn. The shaggy hair included. : )

Names...I would choose something with more than one syllable, because usually two one-syllable names together sound blunt and awkward. So that's my advice.

[Guest Alex2]

That's a cool picture. Congrats on graduation.

You kind of look like a Quinn Barrett I think.

Some more options...

Bayard, Booker, Brandon, Bristol, Brodie

Plus there are a ton more. Some of the other ones Evan suggested would sound pretty awesome too. Hope you find something you like.

[Guest StrandedOutThere]

I like Barrett.

Cool pic, BTW. It's way nifty that you are getting to play Hamlet!

[Guest MrAwesome]

I think Quinn Brandt sounds cool. or Quin Brent. I think everyone else gave some good ones. I did the same thing. My birth name is Rachel. I shortened it to Ray, then since a bunch of people were calling me ray, I used Raymond as my middle name cause I don't like Raymond that much, but I like being "Ray" and I also wanted something New, original for me. So Lewis Raymond Smith. I still like Lucifer though! -.- so away, since Ray can be a nickname for Rachel, I can sign things "Ray Smith" and not my birth name, and I can still be "Ray" without questions arising cause it's my middle name.

[Guest Pól_Eire]

A few more B names:

Brendan

Barry

Bernard

Brian

Brigette's an Irish name, so you could stick with an Irish middle name too. I kind of like Quinn Brendan, myself.

[Guest leo]

you look like a brendan!

and you look totally male

well done!

[Guest hayden_jude]

Oooh, Quinn Bernard....I don't know, I'm still fond of Barrett. Hm.

Others....Blaise, Breckin, Baird, Bastien, Baxter, Barton, Berkely, Blake.

[Guest Javey]

I always liked Benjamen. Benji for short.

[Guest April63]

I think Brian, Brandon, maybe Baxter, Ben or Benjamin, or Blake could work.

[Guest Donna Jean]

I like Benjamin, but I don't like the short version...Benjie....

I have an electrician friend that goes by Benjie and it reminds me of a little dog!

Sorry...

Donna Jean

[Sally]

Sometimes you need to think what some people might do with it - Benjamin is wonderful but are you ready to be called Quinn Ben?

I think that Quinn Baxter is beginning to grow on me.

Love ya,

Sally

[Guest _Michael]

I like Quinn Baxter a lot too. You pass really well by the way, and you don't even have to resort to cutting your hair

[Guest Irielle]

Quinn Boyer? (pronounced boy-yay, as in Charles Boyer)

[Guest Quinn]

Hey everyone - I just wanna thank everyone who's commented. Your opinions are quite appreciated! Quinn Baxter doesn't sound that bad, I was thinking maybe Brendon; not sure yet...but still, thanks for everyone's comments.

I've never really put a full body picture here before I don't think. This was taken by me yesterday:

I'm a picture junkie, sorry x3

It's the photographer in me.

Anyways, thanks again everyone.

[Guest StrandedOutThere]

I love your shirt.

[Guest Pól_Eire]

Quinn, you look good. I don't know how old you are, but you look biomale, no question.

Pól

[Guest leo]

dude you look cool

and good work on the hairy legs!

i havnt shaven mine in a year and a half and they aint as long as that

[Guest Quinn]

I love your shirt.

Why thank you. You gotta love Flash, you just do. I found the thing for like 2 bucks somewhere.

Quinn, you look good. I don't know how old you are, but you look biomale, no question.

Pól

Hey thanks a lot, that's a huge compliment. I'm 17, so I probably look a bit young for my age, but still...

dude you look cool

and good work on the hairy legs!

i havnt shaven mine in a year and a half and they aint as long as that

Haha, thanks. Yeah, I haven't shaved in...a little under a year, I think? The Italian in me is definitely good for something, even if practically no hair grows on the back of my leg...weirdest thing ever. Still, thanks.

[Guest StrandedOutThere]

I had the same thing going on pre-T. It seems to have resolved.

[Guest Quinn]

I had the same thing going on pre-T. It seems to have resolved.

Ah, good to hear. Yeah, I figured it would. It's not a huge concern of mine, just a bit of a minor annoyance.

I've also noticed that any hair I find on my face, though obviously it's just the finest of fuzz, is...quite blond. Hell, my friend Cyn has darker hair above her lip than I do, and yet when I look at mine, it's very fine and blond. Some of the hair on my arm is blond, too. Is that a general thing to happen, does anyone think?
