- Beth Rowan
- Belle Rowan
- Belle Hunter (last name not goofball enough?)
- Beth Palmeroy
- Emma Palmeroy (too british?)
- Liz Palmeroy
- Lizzie Palmeroy
- Betty Palmeroy
- Annie Palmeroy
- Annie O'Palmer (I can pretend to be Irish! Weee!)

I think this is starting to get out of hand...
Yeesh. Do any of these sound like "goofball nerd with unexpected inner strength"? Do any of them sound like me? Choosing a new name is absolutely creating a new identity for yourself... And it's freaking hard to do!! (It's always a big deal for me to name characters I've created for the RPG I play as well, the names have to be perfect.)
I'm really hesitating about using "Izzie" because that's usually only a nickname that my closest friends use. To have it be my public alternate persona feels almost like a violation...
And in some ways, it almost feels as though, by focusing on the goofball nerd side of the character type, I'm selling myself short again. Casting myself as a smurf when I can be so much more...
Arg. I need to go to bed. 'Night.

I like your real name, Isabelle Palmer, but that is just me.
Hi Emory, thanks for your comment! =)
Still seeing if I can get any response from the company that currently owns the domain rights to IsabellePalmer.com, if they'd be willing to sell the rights to me.
But still debating if I want to change my name anyways, for the reasons I wrote about in my previous posts...
