I'm speaking of it being lengthy as in I don't see many well known models having that long of a name. One of my close friends is a very well known traveling model and her name is one word. Idk, just feel like I need to shorten it up to be easier to remember and make more of an impact. You know how a lot of well known alternative models have one word short names? Like Velocity? Or Mosh? That's what I'm talking about.

If you are memorable, people will make a point of knowing your name no matter how common or obscure or lengthy or short your name is. I honestly don't really care for a lot if those names that models come up with. Many of them are stupid and don't help me remember the model. I happen to remember the names because the model is memorable herself, not because of her name.

Like, really, who cares? Will Springfield goes by William Elliott as a model and you don't see any women claiming that its too common. They all remember that guy.

I'm pretty sure her success is not (only) because of her name...
If you're good, people WILL remember your name. wink

I find your name very pretty.
