Opinions please on name changes.

[GardeningGal]

I've been thinking of changing my name but before today I couldn't think of anything that I thought worked for me. But an idea came to me while reading WhiteTara's post here today. I came up with the possibility of CJoy. So what do my friends here in ASAH think?

Should I change it to CJoy, keep GardeningGal, or go with something you all suggest?

Thanks in advance.

1. What does CJoy stand for, GG. nt

[GardeningGal]

2. C is the initial of my first name.

Joy is my middle name which was also my Mom's first name.

3. I really like the Joy in it.

4. I do too, especially the C,

:hi: as in to see Joy.

5. That's my thought too!

CJoy sounds like that's what you are doing.

6. Here are a few more (I'm just throwing them out - maybe something will stick)

Joy in:
Greek - Chara
Hawaiian - Kalea

Joyful Gardener
Ode to Joy

7. I like both.

Gardening is a nurturing, connected, healing, giving thing, or it can be.

I also like the "C" in CJOY. While C is the first initial of your name, it also can be texting shorthand for "see joy," which is a good place to be in, and a welcoming way to present yourself to others.

8. I like CJoy

I read it as "see-joy" also, as in an affirmation.

Powerful and uplifting...go 4it! :hi:

9. Gardening Joy

or Garden Joy

Joy and gardening are such great things alone, but combined they convey so much more!

10. Wow - thanks everyone.

You've given me a lot to think about. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time deciding. I guess it's because I know it will be with me for at least the next 4 years.

I really appreciate all your thoughts. I'll let you know what I decide.
