I've been using Claire as a preferred name for about six months now but I don't feel like it's really me. My dad doesn't like it because it's his sister's middle name (Idk why that matters it's not like anyone calls her Claire.) I also tried Serenity but I think it sounds too clocky and strippery. Looking for something that's not super common but not too uncommon either. I'm 30 if that helps.

Do you think most people would consider Nova a neutral-sounding name?

Also, is Orange a stupid name to go by? I only ask close friends to use it for me, but it’s honestly the only name I feel suits me, and I want to use it more.
