I also wonder why your co-workers can't know your name. This sounds highly intriguing Was there a character in a book you loved? Anne Shirley (that would be mine!) or something like that? At least you could use the first name. I also loved Desperaux, but I'm thinking that won't work too well! What about a name you wanted to name your daughter, but your DH said no? Mine would be Dominique or Gabrielle. Alas. I was a romantic. Good luck! This is fun!

I guess I'm not understanding why you have to answer with your full name, why you have to have a "new" name, and why your co-workers can't know your real name? I just don't get it.

When I worked at WDW, my stage name was "Etherton". Not making that up. And I had people who would just GUSH over the name, including one lady who was going to suggest it to her pregnant friend.

I don't understand why you can't use your real name, I don't get it either.

I can understand there being places you work that you wouldn't want it to be super easy for some whackadoo to find you. My guess on the co-worker issue would be that they may inadvertently give her real name out.

Along with the previous ideas you could pick a decade for an age you would like to be, google for the 10 most popular girls names for that decade and pick one of them. Then pick a common last name to pair it with. Here is a list of the top 100 most common names in the US in 2013. genealogy.about.com/library/weekly/aa_common_surnames.htm

I'd go with something similar to my name. I use my maiden name at work because my last name is hard to pronounce and I get tired of always telling people doctors office , banks etc so when I was ordering my name tag I just used my maiden name. I'm divorced and although I didn't legally change it I usually introduce myself with my maiden name. I'm engaged so I decided not to bother legally dropping my ex husbands name. I will take my new soon to be husbands name because it's common and everyone can pronounce it. Good luck and let us know what you decide on. I would use my grandmothers name if I had to pick a new first name. Her name was Leila and I wanted to name my daughter that but my grandma always hated her name and asked me to name her Lillie instead and since I loved that name too I did. My ex loved the idea of southern double names and wanted her to have a double name so I named her Lilliegrace. She is called Lilliegrace by everyone except her dad who calls her Lillie. Go figure, as he was the one who wanted the double name to start with... smh..

I don't understand either. That would be weird if my coworkers did not know my real name!
In any case, how about Shea...and your maiden name

How intriguing! If you're still looking for a name, what name do people say you 'look' like? Apparently I look like a Rebecca.

But does that mean your co-workers will never know your real name? what if someone knows you already, or recognises you (I live in a very small place where EVERYONE knows someone who knows you). And does that mean you won't know their real names either? I'm sure that must feel very strange.

I will find out for sure today I hope, but the only reason I get a pseudonym is because I'm the only one in the US so Google would divulge my location. Safety wise that is not okay, so that prevents the crazies. I was told yesterday that I would need a new badge and only a few people in HR would have my actual name. This location has never dealt with this before so I hope to find out more today.

I guess I live my life with my head buried in the sand. Whenever I call a company about something and they give their first and last name, I do write it down as a record of who I talked to and when in case I need it for future reference, but it never in a million years occurred to me to Google them. Even the ones who've been complete turds.

This is very strange to me. Is it some sort of top secret, risky, or high security place? I would never be able to answer to another name. When I was about 10, the Preppy Handbook was a book that was out and I was obsessed with all things Preppy. They had a list of nicknames in it, and Corkie was a nickname for Kelly. I had it put on my soccer uniform that year, as sort of a self-chosen nickname. My mom said that people would be cheering me on and I'd be oblivious because it wasn't my name.
