Summary
None of us gets to choose our birth name, and some of us acquire nicknames as we grow up.

If you ever wanted to try on a new name for size, you are in luck as April 9th is Name Yourself Day, a fun day when you can decide to change your name for 24 hours.

Ever wish your parents named you something else? This day might be for you. This national holiday exists to let people try on a new name for size. It was created on the idea that one’s name molds their personality. Who will you be this April? Flo? Mortimer? Princess Consuela Banana Hammock? The sky is the limit.
