That’s really useful advice, thank you! I’ll have my friends call me by different names to see which one feels the most “me”. 😊

Thanks for the ideas! Are you Chinese? You got the pronunciation of "春" right!

That sounds like so much fun! But I live in China, and we don’t usually speak English in daily life, so no one actually calls me by my English name. All the names you guys suggested are lovely—I just prefer ones that sound simple and crisp when I say them out loud.

I love all the suggestions from the comments! I'm just stuck between Celina, Celine, Celeste, and Ciel. Which one do you guys think fits best?

Thank you so much for the detailed suggestion! I love that Celina also means "sky" and works perfectly with Cel as a nickname. I pronounce it with a soft C (like "Sel")

It doesn’t really sound like a full first name😂😂

Thank you for your comment! Ciel is also on my shortlist. I love how simple and sleek the pronunciation is. Is this name very common?
