Middle Name…

I’m going to write a post about my middle name since I haven’t written in here for a while.
My middle name is–Sheila. Pretty, isn’t it? But after 18 years with Amanda, I think I like Amanda more than Sheila. (okay, that made NO SENSE whatsoever, AT ALL).
The dilemma… but first, the story behind the dilemma.
In middle school, Renee DeCasas was Britney DeCasas. Her given name is Britney, and she used that name throughout middle school. Freshman year, she came in to the flute section, having changed her name to Renee. I thought that was an interesting idea… Renee sounded more sophisticated than Britney, but people call her both Britney and Renee now.
Anyways. I was thinking, that in college, I want a change. I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, but I don’t know if I really want to be called Sheila for the next four years of my life. I don’t want to legally change it so it’s Sheila Amanda Chang, but I want to be able to write “Sheila” on my papers instead of “Amanda”. I know that when and if I do go to a large university, there will be a bajillion Amandas in my classes, but not as many Sheilas. That way, I will not be as confused during class when a teacher calls out “Sheila” instead of “Amanda”.
Maybe that’s a difference?
