Names are very important. Some parents fret over those “1001 Baby Names” books or even bring in consultants before committing to a boy’s or girl’s name in the delivery room.

Names shape personality. They define us on resumes and job applications based on people’s preconceptions of who they have met with the same name. And of course, some names sound sexier than others. Would you rather date a Benjamin or a Mortimer? Would you rather date an Amber or a Mildred?

In honor of WallCandy Arts’ recent immersion into Fairyland — check out our cute Sweet Dreams Fairies removable wall decals — we thought it would be fun for our customers to find out what their Fairy Names would be if they ever sprouted wings.

British artist Sue Edmunds, who designs customized fairy sculptures like the one above, created a Fairy Name Generator that will instantly convert your name into one respected by woodland creatures everywhere. Sue does not handle the logistics of legally changing over your birth certificates or driver’s license, but her delightful device will determine your strongest talents and give you fashion advice for pulling off the look.

To test out the Fairy Name Generator, I plugged in the name of WallCandy Arts CEO Allison Krongard, who created the Sweet Dreams Fairies.

Should Allison ever opt for the witness protection program, here is her Fairy identity:

Your fairy is called Gossamer Willowglow

She is a caster of weird dreams.

She lives in spiderwebbed wonderlands and insect grottos.

She is only seen in the light of a full moon.

She wears tiny black spiders on her dresses. She has delicate green coloured wings like a cicada.

So go ahead and explore your inner Fairy. You know you want to!

(BTW, if fairies aren’t your thing, Sue Edmunds also offers a Vampire Name Generator for the Twilight crowd. We don’t have a line of vampire wall decals, because quite frankly, we’re in the business of crushing nightmares — not creating them!)
