I will warn you about choosing a Magickal (Spirit) name that "feels" right, while yes a magickal name describes our personalities and what we feel drawn to, it is also something more than what can describe us and give power, it is also a shield to protect us. Everyone has three names, their Birth name, their Given (magickal/spirit) name, and their True name. When feeling out names, you need to be careful, because if it feels too right, it could very well be your True name. Your True name is very similar to how Magickal name is described, but instead of it just describing us, it IS us. It is our spirit, our body, our soul, it is every fiber and molecule of our body, it is our mind and thought, it is the ONE name that never changes, that stays with us in each life. If someone were to get a hold on that name, they could in a way, control you or do a lot of harm towards you. Our Birth names are what protects us, but not completely, our Birth name still holds some power over us, so that is why we choose a Magickal name. It shields us and protects us from harm of other beings because we identify with that name which removes any power held over us when someone tries to use our Birth name. Our magickal name can change from time to time, usually in accordance to our lives and the lessons we learn and the paths we follow, but it is still important to pick wisely because sometimes Magickal names don't change.
The reason I gave this warning is because I accidently found out my True name by a strong feeling I had received. Someone I am close to called me by a name once and I felt as if my very center was tightening and twisting. That is when I realized it was my True name. Besides the person who called me by my True name, no one else knows it, not even the people who I believe I can trust. If I got that feeling from just being called by my True name without the person trying to do anything to me, I know if someone really wanted to hurt me they could use my True name against me.
That is why you need to be EXTREMELY careful when picking a name based on how it feels to you, it could end up being your True name. And if you go telling people your True name, someone may either realize it is your true name or may not and want to cause a bit of harm to you but instead cause a great amount of harm. And trust me, if you are paying attention, you will Know when you find your True name.
