Choose your Wild Woman Name

Why choose a Wild Woman name?

We each have birth names. These names may have significance and meaning for those who named us. They are significant for each of us too. We attach our identities and derive a sense of connection and belonging to our names. But, at the crux of it: others named us. A Wild Woman name is a name you search, assign, or adopt for yourself. To it you may ascribe your values, feelings, identity, dreams, wishes, and goals. To it you may connect your soul self, your authentic self.

How to choose a Wild Woman name:

1. There’s no set formula. So do it your way. Consider the following:

• Do you have a blank space to fill in your birth name? Perhaps Donkey  Soul Sister’s revelation that she was searching for her middle name speaks to you.

• Were you born with your WW name? Use your birth name’s meaning as Star Woman did.

• Research your name, place, and spirit animal/mascot as Red Moon Warrior did.

• Look for, search, or wait for a sign as Butterfly Heart did

• Brainstorm or meditate on the intention of: ‘finding my wild woman name’ gathering together names and signs and symbols that speak to your Wild ‘Woman’-ness.

• Draw a card from a favourite deck inviting your Wild Woman name to show herself.

2. Once your WW name is revealed: try it on, use it, wear it, write it down. Live with it.

3. Remember: you can always change your WW name. As you are ever-evolving and

changing, your name is a reflection of you and where you are on your journey … you may want to change your WW name, once, twice, or more. It’s your WW name. Your journey.
