About This Quiz

While some people think that an alter ego is just a different part of them that comes out when they're drunk or around certain people, an alter ego is more like a double life. Sometimes you live out your days as you, and sometimes you change it up and go about your day as your second self. Now, for fun, your alter ego doesn't need to be that serious. It absolutely can just be a certain part of you that comes out under certain circumstances. No matter the case, that person needs a name.

But how do you go about naming something that is just another part of you? It makes sense that your alter ego would have their own name, but you can't imagine having any other name. You need to step outside of yourself in order to pick one. Maybe look at names that fit the personality of your second self. Or maybe the name is an anagram of something, or even an anagram of your own name.

If you think you have an alter ego but don't know exactly what the personality is, take time to think about who you are trying to be when you step into that persona. Or just take this quiz and we'll tell you what your alter ego name is!
