Question from a reader:
What stage name do you think would suit Nagano Mei if she were to change her name for a fresh start?
The Fun and Challenge of Renaming
The idea of Nagano Mei changing her name for a fresh start is quite an interesting topic. Coming up with a stage name feels like a playful exercise. Changing one’s
name can feel like embarking on a journey of self-discovery. It sparks a flurry of ideas and excitement. For example, the name “Yamanashi Jun,” suggested by a user, is indeed a captivating thought, as it draws on the idea of a similar prefecture to Nagano. Incorporating a place name fosters a sense of connection to the region and creates a feeling of familiarity. The origin of “JUNE” is also appealing. As the month following May, it evokes a sense of seasonal change. Imagining Nagano Mei taking on new challenges related to June brings a sense of joy.
Personal Memories of Names
I, too, have pondered about names in the past. During my student days, I once brainstormed “my ideal name” with friends. At that time, a friend told me, “You would absolutely suit the name ‘Hoshi,'” which made me a bit shy but also happy. Perhaps it reflected a desire to shine like a star. Additionally, while working part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office, colleagues and I jokingly came up with “Seigi Ken” or “Shinjitsu Nao” as “legal names,” which created a lighthearted moment. Incorporating legal jargon into names was a humorous touch.
The Meaning of Renaming
Renaming carries the significance of a new beginning or resolution. When entertainers change their names, there is often a special reason or intention behind it. Nagano Mei might consider renaming herself when taking on new roles or exploring new directions. Changing a name could potentially lead to personal transformation. Have you ever thought about your own name or nickname? What names do you think would suit you, or have you ever wanted to give a friend a particular name? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments. I believe names hold a mysterious power. I’m looking forward to hearing everyone’s stories.
