What is my Gothic Name?
What is my Gothic Name, one that Expresses Who I am
Goth is an artistic movement and lifestyle. A goth is somebody who listens to gothic music, looks gothic and have a gothic outlook. Goths love to create art, music and other forms of creative expression. To be Goth, start with a gothic name that suits you and helps you become the goth you have always wanted to be. I chose Eureka as my name to be Goth as it represents the moment of insight in the midst of chaos and darkness. This came about after realizing that I needed to know my inner darkness as much as my inner light to be goth.
The gothic name Eureka means the light. Darkness is a major aspect of Goth, which has been negatively portrayed by popular media. An alternative viewpoint to the mainstream is that Goth is about facing our deepest fears since running away from them will only make them stronger. What you resist will persist. Light exists because darkness coexists. Eureka is the sudden clarity emerging from the depths of chaos and the midst of darkness.
To pick your new gothic name, here are a few ideas to get started:
- Names from the animal kingdom.
- Names from fairytales and folklore.
- Names from the underworld such as demons.
- Names of nasty inflictions or bad habits.
- Names from horror movies and literature.
Good luck with your new gothic identity.
