[edit] looking for labels

Here's something I've been meaning to get done for years: get myself a name people can actually remember. I'm not sure what my feelings are on people who randomly give themselves English names when the only reason they have is that their Chinese name doesn't sound as cool as, say, Fish or Oxide (though I have a tiny idea that my feelings lean towards disapproval), but I don't care anymore. I have to give myself one soon, or no-one in whatever university I end up in will ever be able to remember who I am.

(In any case, I've been progressively doing more and more things that I used to be determined to hate over the last few years so I guess it doesn't matter now if I get super OOC.)

With that said, I need to find a name. I don't want weird nouns (see underlined examples above) or crazy, airy-fairy made-up names (Carmellinia/Melodaisy/whatever), nor do I need odd values (Prudence, much?). I also could use a lot less of oh-so-mysterious names that would, frankly, better suit a cat (like Seraphina or Melusine).

Nice, relatively normal names. Surely they can't be hard to find. Rhea's nice but might sound too pretentious for a self-chosen name, Eris has an interesting meaning but doesn't fit... I've always been partial to the letter K (big surprise), but there aren't a lot of suitable names beginning with that letter. Bah. There's really not much one can do with a surname like mine. =_=

Buggrit, buggrit, millenium hand and shrimp.

*edit!*

Since I've always been partial to Kaye, let's run a trial run for the next week. Here we goooo~
