Oh yeah, I’m a Aurora in my dreams. The Northern Lights, the Spirit in the Sky as the famous KEiiNO track lyrics say. But my name is Torunn now, it’s more than good enough in my everyday life. My current waking reality is important like dreams are also. We can have our dreams and live awake as well. Aurora ❤

I might also identify as a Leah even if it would be very far ahead of it’s common use. I’m turning 32 this late summer, and I think it’s a pretty name I would wish to have the appearance for it. I don’t feel like I could match the name in physical ways.

So maybe I would be a Leah Aurora in parallel reality, together the name origins mean ‘tired/close’ and ‘morning glory/dawn’. I believe names are interesting in general, how to describe and define an aspect of life and mind.

My current given names are Ingvild, Synnøve and Torunn. I was born with other names and change last month (mid-late May) to my new names. I didn’t really dislike my former name but I’m more aware of my identity and felt like being more true to my new perspective on names. Plus I like them, they are awesome Norse mythology origin female given names ❤

But if I had to change my name again I would likely choose something very similar with the same meaning, Ingvild is very similar to Inghild in meaning, both are from Norse mythology and Ing is from ancestor/fertility god Yngvi/Freyr and ‘hildr‘ meaning struggle. So; ancestors struggle. Sunniva means ‘sun gift’ and is from same roots as my current given name Synnøve. I don’t think I would have three given names if I had to get new name again. But btw, I’m also actually quite happy with my new so-called ‘old aunts name’ Torunn being included in current name.

And I’ve mentioned before my last name is rare and that’s one of the reasons I’m not revealing it. My alternatives in last names include Hætta (Saami origins), Niemi (Kven origins) and Myrland (Norwegian origins, in this case from a Northern Norwegian farm/place). 

I like my last name in adult age and kept it the same. I used to hate it in childhood years because it was quite unusual, just like my divergent (and particular mostly of the neurodivergent) inner world of autism and psychosis and the very strong imagination I am truly blessed with.

I have several other alternatives in names, I also like the names Aurora and Leah.

Have a wonderful day, it’s night here right now. Thank you for reading ❤

If you had to change your name, what would your new name be?

The title is from a Headhunterz track ‘Just say my Name’, I think it’s from year 2008. It’s hardstyle genre electronic dance music and I really like a lot of what he made in my listening time, I quit paying attention to any of the new music when I turn 23 years or so. I like mostly old music by any producer of this particular genre. I’m really talkative right now, I know.

This is about my current names;

I have three new old Norse origin given names. The first of them is Torunn which I chose as the first because it made sense putting it as first. I’m really a private person and I don’t want my offline life invaded by anyone, also truly I do not intrude upon strangers in any part of life. I respect privacy and freedom from any related force used in this part of living. Sorry I go so deep into this topic here. I value privacy and pride, fairness and true compassion also.

About the fantasy of new alternative names;

My new names would likely be Norse too, like for example Ingeborg, Borghild or Ingrid as first name and possibly a Finnish/Sámi/Kven last name like Aikio, Eira, Hætta, Wirkola or Virtanen. I could also go with Arctander if I wanted my name extremely Norwegian in meaning. It is literally north + man.

i have three given names (that chose for myself) around just over a week ago. I kept my last name/surname the same as before.

If I could change my last name it would be from my deep level family research and the cultures of my ancestors carry the names. I have a direct maternal line ancestor with last name Hætta, it’s from a place just Beyond the border to Finland. It is of Sámi origins. As I’ve mentioned before I like the name Niemi as well, Finnish roots and so beautiful sounding. I considered getting my middle name from my mother, but it was long enough to feel a little bit too long even without a middle name from mother.

I would consider the names Ingeborg or Borghild, both are Norse origin names to be related the words ‘vern/protection’ and ‘hildr/struggle’ and the god Yngvi/Freyr through ‘Ing’. I’m a proud member of this group of having Norse mythology origin names and it’s a large part of our family cultures.

In last names I consider Niemi, Arctander and Hætta as possible last name, but since I recently change my official name but kept my last name the same it’s an imagination thing.

I just a week ago changed my name, it’s three first/given names of Norse origin and I’m so happy for this. My new names include Ingvild, Torunn and Synnøve.

if it was my last name/surname I would choose the Finnish origin name Niemi or the Norwegian origin name Arctander. I’m very interested in genealogy and we have many last names including for example the Saami origins last names like Hætta, Gaup and Eira.

so I’ve already chosen my new name and I like that. Thank you for reading ❤
