What do you think I should change my name to?

I am of Cuban heritage and have a very hispanic sounding name. It is usually massacred terribly by people who don%26#039;t already know me. It is sometimes difficult for people to pronounce and spell even. Therefore most people call me Millie, which is clever since I am interested in drama and want to get by BFA in musical theater. (Millie= Thoroughly Modern Millie, its a musical.) At auditions I usually get, %26quot;oh like Thoroughly Modern Millie?%26quot; Which is just another helpful way to get noticed in this business.





So, my first name isn%26#039;t that much of a mystery although my last name is a little different and quite inelegant at times.





Full name: Milaimys %26quot;Millie%26quot; Castellon





I%26#039;ve thought of changing my name to Millie Castets, Castex, Castel... or to something completely different like Ruz or Verdegi cause they%26#039;re variations of my grandparents%26#039; and great grandparents%26#039; surnames.





I%26#039;ve basically run out of ideas now...so how about you?


Have any other suggestions?





Thanks in advance.

Millie Castellon sounds fine to me.





It%26#039;s not like it%26#039;s hard to pronounce or anything. Castel, Ruz, or Verdegi all work as well but I think you should be proud of your name.

Stick to your name, I think it%26#039;s pretty unique. There are a billion Millies out there. But not so many Milaimys! I like your name and I don%26#039;t encourage you to change it. People already call you Millie, so why change it?
