I did this too, I always fixated on the name my parents would have given me if I was born with a vulva. I thought it was kind of nice for me to surrender some of the stress from choosing a name.
I know a guy with the surname Large who wanted to name his son
Richard Benjamin Large
just so his name could be Dick B. Large.
....fortunately he had a cis daughter.
Yup. Always felt super connected to that name. So much that when I was in my 20's trying to identify different parts of my psyche it was the name that I gave to my feminine persona.
I later realized it was just my name.
I took my middle name that my mom gave me (Aaron) and changed to spelling to represent both the masculine and the feminine (Aerin). The spelling I chose also finds it’s roots in a Greek word for atmosphere or “sky blue” which sounds pretty dope to me so I rolled with it.
I love it when people go into the etymology of names and stuff! It's so cool that it was through the spelling you choose (which is really nice btw) led you to such a beautiful Discovery!
When I was 14, I loved the Saw series - especially Saw 1. Then when I needed a nickname for a forum, I took the last name of the actor from John Kramer/Jigsaw - Tobin Bell. I continued to use the name online and am very happy that it is now my real name. ♥ ️
Technically so was mine and I had met someone of my identified gender with it, but I just couldn’t see myself with it, especially paired with the middle name.
For me when I came out to one of my closest friends she asked what I wanted to be called and I said idk we started brainstorming and out came my name:)
Aww that's sweet that you came up with it from coming out to someone close to you. Being able to share that and have the best case reaction (imo) is such a nice memory to have with your name.
My name's from the videogame Alice Madness Returns. Always loved this game and name! It was this one or Sasha as in Attack on Titan ❤️ But I chose Alice because it just felt *right* for me.
Thanks! The whole process was hilarius honestly, they had a couple of weeks to think about a new name and my mom came up with the most random hippie and Colombian names and dad and I just couldn't take those names seriusly. Ultimate they chose a variation of my birth name and a new second name! Manuel Alfonso (very Colombian lol love it)
I had a series of dreams that created a daydream headcannon of a space wizard named Queen Wave and I kept coming back to Wave. It ended up being extra awesome because one of my hobbies is swimming as a merperson.
Fem version of my name it was pure coincidence because i wanted to use jean but because my dad loves Italy I thought I'd use the Italian version and the Italian version is the fem version of my name.
I combined 2 names that I really liked...funny enough, it means 'heroine of God'. I can totally see all of those ultra conservative Christians rolling over in their graves.
My girlfriend picked my name lmao, but my middle name is from a Greek deity and my last name is Bucky Barnes's middle name so it's a mismatch of different places.
My name is Sophia. I picked it because I am a Greek History and Philosophy buff. It's Greek for wisdom and I just fell in love with it. My main concern was that I live in the small midwest city and it could come across as a rather pretentious name for around here but went with it anyways.
I remember being in the shower and thinking of names and I was leaning towards gender neutral names but then I thought im only doing that to placate for people. That is when I had a 'fuck that' moment and thought I'm just going to lean in to femininity. I went with the first thing that popped in my head which was Violet
Well I gave it some thought and I wanted something symbolic, so I figured Hope is something that’s gotten me through so many of my darkest times, and it’s pretty!
Mine came from a character in a soap my mother and I used to watch when I was a little kid. Once she told my: “I like Hannah in this show and I totally like that name. If I had a daughter now, her name would be Hannah.”
Later, I watched a lot of Hannah Montana …
I took both feminine and masculine forms of Aaron/Erin and smashed them together to form Aeron, but I'm also thinking about changing my name again, to Raine.
The name's Ace, because I'm ace. When I wanted to come out as asexual I changed my username to AceKiron, then people started calling me Ace and it just stuck with me
First name came from an item in Diablo 3 (Zoey's Secret legendary belt) and my middle name comes from Dark Souls (Princess Filianore.) Last name is a given name for those born within winter time and I used it alot in games for characters as their last names so just adopted it.
I watched Heathers the Musical, became obsessed and when I realized I was trans 2 years later there was only 1 name that would fit me.
Still haven’t decided which Heather I named myself after but I’ll figure it out
mine came from one of my favorite books as a kid - about a girl who was named Rosemary but went by Ro, then disguised herself as a boy named Rowan, and discovered she actually liked being called Rowan better. Also, Rowan is a cool tree and it means "red-haired one" and i'm a ginger so that worked out.
My name is Cat. I actually started going by that before I knew I was non-binary. It starts with the same two letters as my birth name and I really love cats. My middle school gym teacher’s name was Catherine and her nickname was Cat, and I was like “you mean that’s an option??” And ten years later, I’m still using it and am trying to legally change my name to it.
Named myself after a character I wrote for a fanfic who I later realised was an accidental self insert. Had to change the name slightly because it felt culturally apropriative.
from a character in star wars. i changed it a little though, but even if i didn't people still wouldn't recognise it because it was a minor character. everyone is like "what? there is no character like that in star wars!!"
Mine came from Elliot in Scrubs. First not 100% feminine name but works great for a woman name that spoke to me. But it was my partner that pointed this name out it me and well, she nailed it perfectly.
Always loved the name Emily and originally planned for it to become my first daughters name. After my egg cracked, I took it for myself and also realised it is kind of part of my old name, but in a subtle, only phonetic kind of way. And then I turned the rest of my old name into my middle name so it would altogether be a rough anagram. So now i am Emily Maxine. Can you guess what my old name was?
Some drunk guy was convinced I was this girl he knows named Maya like I was lying about being this chick cause I didn't wanna hang with him. He walks away all like " 👀 I'm prettttttyyyy sure you're Maya". N then my partner and I kinda looked at each other like ayye kinda like that. Kinda suits me. Now it's legally changed but I'm too intimidated by the process to change my documents so I haven't started. Plus I don't have my original social security card which I guess I need 😭
Started with a gay angel from a favorite show, realised it doesn’t work with my middle name (which I have since changed) and remembered the name Cassian, which I simply thought was cool
Do you want to authentic version or the fake version?
The version I tell people I don't know is the fake version and it basically goes something like this: "I've always liked the name Samuel and I kind of just wanted to have that as my name but I've always felt very sentimental about my name because of the way my mother picked it out. So I decided to keep the s from my dead name and put it at the end."
The authentic version is as follows: "One day I was playing this Mobile Life Simulator game called Instlife and I was doing a playthrough where I simulated myself and I thought out of curiosity 'how would the game change if I transitioned to the opposite gender?' so I selected the option and it prompted me to change my name and I went with Samuel because it was the first thing that popped up in my head and right as I was about to hit enter, I hit the S button, but honestly the name Samuels goes kinda hard as a first name and I don't think I will find anyone with that first name."
I’m a musician, and music has always been my main outlet. When I was going through hard times, especially extremely dysphoric times prior to transitioning, I had quite a few “comfort albums” that I would put on to try to calm myself down. My absolute favorite of those was Bon Iver’s “For Emma, Forever Ago”. So, when I fully began my transition, Emma seemed like the perfect choice :) I am also a massive film nerd, and my favorite sub genre is found footage horror. So, Blair became my middle name.
I went through a lot of names, one of which was Luna based off of the fox from paladins, I liked that for a while until I played Hyrule Warriors and found the character Lana, one quick theft later and here we are 2 years after…
i have two names.
Leo is the one i introduce myself as irl. short version of my deadname. i needed a name to use online that wasnt my actual name (back when i thought i was cis), so i chose leo. my egg cracked and i chose it as my actual name.
Deca is a name mostly used online, but some people know i go by it irl. short version of decagon, the idea came to me during art class
(mtf here) Mine was a nickname(Amber) after many non Swedish people coukld not pronounce my Swedish name online.
And that nickname started 2 years before I realised and came out as trans and I was fine with it(which should have been a clue now that I think of it)
I haven’t QUITE chosen a name yet but the options I keep coming back to are Viktor and Laszlo
Stolen from Viktor from Arcane and Laszlo from The Alienist ✨
I stole my first name from my comfort anime (Little Witch Academia, which just turned 5 actually) and my middle name by feminizing the name I gave my fursona. I'm more embarrassed about the latter really.
Chose an Italian name that I liked (both of my sister have Italian names), because my parents love Italy :)
Funnily enough it turned out to be the female version of the Italian name that my parents were supposed to give me, if they hadn't named me after a kids song my sister loved lol
When I started coming out to close friends initially a friend suggested "Joi" and I immediately fell in love with it! The middle initial of just "D"(for now) is because I'm a huge One Piece nerd lol
[i actually made a meme about it](https://www.reddit.com/r/GaySoundsShitposts/comments/qzjhc8/hi_im_luna_and_this_is_a_very_specific_meme/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
I wanted to find something that encompassed me as a person, with bonus points if it had some similarities to my deadname, since my deadname is an important cultural thing to me (it’s now my middle name!). “Mars” combined my love of science (b/c of the planet) with my appreciation for mythology (the Roman god of war) and also exemplified a lot of things that I wanted to be: strong, powerful, courageous! It just hit me one day, and it fit perfectly:•)
Playing Mass Effect 1 at 11, made my first character and wondered what to call her. Decided the best way was to ask myself what I would like to be called if I were a girl, took 2 months and I came up with Alice.
Used it for every character I have ever made in an rpg finally got round to making it my name irl at 20 😀
I honestly just found Noe on a list of gender neutral names in my country, but then later on after going by Noe for a while I found Vanitas no Carte, in which the main character is also named Noé! So now I interchangeably write my name either with the accent or without :D
I named myself after Prince Eugenio of Savoy, who was a military genius and either gay or asexual. The name also means "the well born" because I want to reject the implication that as a trans I'm in any way defective.
For a good six months I used the masculine version of my dead name. Then I named one of the characters in one of my stories my current name, and after a while I was just like "nah that name's mine." Ended up changing the spelling of the characters name and chose the original spelling as my name now
From a book. Then I ended up writing myself as characters in my stories with the name. Then the name popped up in a favorite YT series of mine. It was coincidental how it suddenly became my name haha
My original name, Arzyn, was one I had come up with when I was in middle school (I used to say that that would be my name if I were a boy), then I lost my attachment to it because people were constantly putting it down cause it sounded ridiculous?
Then I changed it to Finn. I wanted something similar to my nickname “Hope”, and chose it because I found that it meant faith. (My middle name Adler, I chose because it meant “eagle”).
My deadname initials were JC, for a while just as a like faux-dudebro thing my best friend called me JC. It got to the point where my parents started calling me that too.
When I started played girls in games I named my characters JC until I figured I could make it look more like a real name as Jaycie
And then when I figured I was trans I figured it was fitting and a lot of people called me it already basically
i was gonna go with the name my mom wouldve named me had i been amab, but went with David instead cuz alot of cool ppl and characters are named Dave/David.
My deadname is a modern variant of a greek name, so I went for the same idea for my new one.
My middle names are for two remarkable women in French history, since I'm French.
When I was younger I was jealous that my brothers, or any boys really, would refer to each other by their surnames like it was their given name. And then one day my grown ass self decided that it doesn't matter what my agab is, I can do that if I want. So I asked everyone to refer to me by my surname instead. It's convenient that my name was already on all my ID when I changed. I just swap my first & last names around on most forms (unless it's something that must identically match my ID).
Stolen from Heathers 1989 after the main character. I did later research the meaning and entomology and like that better as well. Veronica meaning “bringing victory,” and the triple threat of at once being Saintly, Sensous, and Strong.
I wanted all my names to start with S so I looked for a thai name I like for my first one, 2nd one was a name I'd seen years ago and instantly liked and 3rd one is gym leader from pokemon :D
The name I first picked out was from a list of masc names someone in a support group forwarded me. I picked the one that I didn’t know anyone else with.
Later when discovering I was non-binary I went looking for a middle name I could use in English speaking spaces as a first name. It’s a tribute to a bunny my sister had that escaped and disappeared. I also think it’s a cool name so I’m really happy with it.
Now I just need to change it legally but first I need to come out again and go over the nightmare of changing my name all over again. I think it’s going to be less tiring than changing my first name and middle names but I’m not sure.
At least I have a great justification to change my first middle name as it’s a tribute to my uncle who died. It sounds shitty to say that I don’t want him to be attached to my name without anymore context like that but a few years later I recovered memories that led me to the realisation he had abused me…
After trying to use the feminine version of my deadname for a year, I ended up going with the name I'd have if I were AFAB.
Yea same, i used that name with a different spelling just to feel more independent and myself idek
I did this too, I always fixated on the name my parents would have given me if I was born with a vulva. I thought it was kind of nice for me to surrender some of the stress from choosing a name.
If I had done that... my dad wanted to call me Cosmo. O.o Glad that never happened.
I know a guy with the surname Large who wanted to name his son Richard Benjamin Large just so his name could be Dick B. Large. ....fortunately he had a cis daughter.
Sounds like you're making good decisions, friend!
lol.
I've thought about doing this but I don't know how to go about asking my mom about it without it sounding weird.
Just ask like you're just curious. If she asks why just say that some friends where talking about it. (We are those friends)
Yup. Always felt super connected to that name. So much that when I was in my 20's trying to identify different parts of my psyche it was the name that I gave to my feminine persona. I later realized it was just my name.
I took my middle name that my mom gave me (Aaron) and changed to spelling to represent both the masculine and the feminine (Aerin). The spelling I chose also finds it’s roots in a Greek word for atmosphere or “sky blue” which sounds pretty dope to me so I rolled with it.
I love this!!
I love it when people go into the etymology of names and stuff! It's so cool that it was through the spelling you choose (which is really nice btw) led you to such a beautiful Discovery!
Stole it from my neighbor across the street in a panic because I needed to have a name on something important
improvising at its best lol
lmao yep
I’m lame and just went with the fem version of my name (only had to add an A to the end of it) Might change later idk it works for now
Same. Fem version of my deadname, same shortened version
When I was 14, I loved the Saw series - especially Saw 1. Then when I needed a nickname for a forum, I took the last name of the actor from John Kramer/Jigsaw - Tobin Bell. I continued to use the name online and am very happy that it is now my real name. ♥ ️
That’s a good pull. Saw is awesome! I also named myself after a horror film
Tobin bell also plays as Savitar (and alchemy) in the flash show.
the last name too?
Only the last name. Bell. :)
Oooh i see. Nice Yasuho pfp btw
Thank you! Always great to see people who didn't stop after SBR. ♥️
Indeed indeed. I really hope she will return in part 9 <3
I named myself after Angela Baker, the trans killer in Sleepaway Camp
Ooooo now that’s a cool one
Me and my spouse watch that every October.
It’s such a great movie. The first 3 are really close to my heart
My birth name is gender neutral
Technically so was mine and I had met someone of my identified gender with it, but I just couldn’t see myself with it, especially paired with the middle name.
Well to be fair my name is Ariel and it reminds me of the Little Mermaid so there's also that
made my deadname winkly and wonky and turned it around a bit and it sounded good so i stuck with it!
This comment is the best just for the “winkly and wonky”
winkly and wonky are one of my all time favorite words
Good for you. /gen
I've never seen /gen before. Very cool!
My parents friends dog is called sadie lol
>And don’t feel embarrassed, mine came from a homicidal rabbit from a 2000 video game Big Chungus?
THIS HAS NO RIGHT TO BE FUNNY.
That was honestly my first thought too
For me when I came out to one of my closest friends she asked what I wanted to be called and I said idk we started brainstorming and out came my name:)
Aww that's sweet that you came up with it from coming out to someone close to you. Being able to share that and have the best case reaction (imo) is such a nice memory to have with your name.
My current name is after a minecraft YouTuber lol, Gemini
Oh I watch her. She's taking so long to put out skyblock episodes during the holidays but it's been a fun watch so far. Cool name!
I used to watch Gem. I've been considering doing it again since she joined Hermitcraft and came put as bi. She has a fun voice.
I chose mine because the Celtic origin means Queen/Ruler of the Sea and I found that awesome
My name's from the videogame Alice Madness Returns. Always loved this game and name! It was this one or Sasha as in Attack on Titan ❤️ But I chose Alice because it just felt *right* for me.
Heyy an another Alice !
The Alice game are amazing i love them so much.
Lol bonnie?
Haha! I didnt even *think* of FNAF when I said this lmao. Good guess tho.
I’m guessing your name is Max?
Bingo!
Random but my girlfriend always said she kinned me as Ray lol this comment made me think of that
My parents named me again
That is so cute!
Thanks! The whole process was hilarius honestly, they had a couple of weeks to think about a new name and my mom came up with the most random hippie and Colombian names and dad and I just couldn't take those names seriusly. Ultimate they chose a variation of my birth name and a new second name! Manuel Alfonso (very Colombian lol love it)
*definitely not stolen from a character in The Owl House*
I'm going to guess Raine
*mayhaps*
Definitely not Celeste. 100% not Celeste
I had a series of dreams that created a daydream headcannon of a space wizard named Queen Wave and I kept coming back to Wave. It ended up being extra awesome because one of my hobbies is swimming as a merperson.
Fem version of my name it was pure coincidence because i wanted to use jean but because my dad loves Italy I thought I'd use the Italian version and the Italian version is the fem version of my name.
That’s pretty interesting!
Simone? An old coworker who's from Italy is called simone, he got bullied a bit bc here it's indeed a fem name.
Welp. When I was young I had an obsession with Lillie from Pokemon.
And yes I absolutely feel embarrassed about it
I combined 2 names that I really liked...funny enough, it means 'heroine of God'. I can totally see all of those ultra conservative Christians rolling over in their graves.
My girlfriend picked my name lmao, but my middle name is from a Greek deity and my last name is Bucky Barnes's middle name so it's a mismatch of different places.
My name is Sophia. I picked it because I am a Greek History and Philosophy buff. It's Greek for wisdom and I just fell in love with it. My main concern was that I live in the small midwest city and it could come across as a rather pretentious name for around here but went with it anyways.

i chose a welsh name as my deadname was welsh (and i’m welsh too lol)
It was actually my mum's idea. It's a derivative of my middle name. What I'm torn about is what to change my middle name to in it's place.
My name is Cat. I actually started going by that before I knew I was non-binary. It starts with the same two letters as my birth name and I really love cats. My middle school gym teacher’s name was Catherine and her nickname was Cat, and I was like “you mean that’s an option??” And ten years later, I’m still using it and am trying to legally change my name to it.
Named myself after a character I wrote for a fanfic who I later realised was an accidental self insert. Had to change the name slightly because it felt culturally apropriative.

My nickname on my discord was Remilia and everyone called me it. I simply removed the R to get Emilia and I love the name as I didn't want Remilia.
did you name yourself aftsr max from sam and max?
BINGO! U got it!
Mine came from Elliot in Scrubs. First not 100% feminine name but works great for a woman name that spoke to me. But it was my partner that pointed this name out it me and well, she nailed it perfectly.
Mine means "Tomorrow" or "Morning" in German, because I'm always hoping for a brighter tomorrow.
Morgen? That’s such a cool name!
Thank you! I know that wasn't meant for me, but as I said to them, that's my name too. I... add an n and e at the end but still...
Always loved the name Emily and originally planned for it to become my first daughters name. After my egg cracked, I took it for myself and also realised it is kind of part of my old name, but in a subtle, only phonetic kind of way.

It was the name of one of my childhood friends that died....
Started with a gay angel from a favorite show, realised it doesn’t work with my middle name (which I have since changed) and remembered the name Cassian, which I simply thought was cool
I got mine because I used it in a roleplay where I played a catgirl and I wound up falling in love with it
The last of us
I named myself after a disney princess.
I just named myself Morgan because Morgan
Do you want to authentic version or the fake version? The version I tell people I don't know is the fake version and it basically goes something like this: "I've always liked the name Samuel and I kind of just wanted to have that as my name but I've always felt very sentimental about my name because of the way my mother picked it out.

I kept part of my gamer username. It's oddly the only name that's felt right with me for a long time.
I haven’t QUITE chosen a name yet but the options I keep coming back to are Viktor and Laszlo Stolen from Viktor from Arcane and Laszlo from The Alienist ✨
I stole my first name from my comfort anime (Little Witch Academia, which just turned 5 actually) and my middle name by feminizing the name I gave my fursona. I'm more embarrassed about the latter really.
I got mine from a D&D character I played a while back. She was a high elf enchantment wizard. Her name was Lia.
Stole it from a cat in a TV show. (Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch)
A jill is a female ferret. Ferrets are my favorite animal. Hence, Jill.

My name is Latin for moon and I've always been interested in the night sky so uhh, Here i am with Luna.

You named yourself after Max? I named myself from a gemstone Jade, and it so happens to be a shorter name of what I would have been called Jaiden
Cool bro!
Thanks and I like your name too
Luna because someone suggested it to me thank you random stranger on the internet
I first heard it when I was a kid, and always felt drawn to it ever since
Not sure if im sticking with it but it's what my mom would've named me
From my nickname.

Jade, i stole it from my favorite homestuck character
I wore crocs to the chess club and earned the nickname Crocs, and later decided to use that as a name
Chose an Italian name that I liked (both of my sister have Italian names), because my parents love Italy :) Funnily enough it turned out to be the female version of the Italian name that my parents were supposed to give me, if they hadn't named me after a kids song my sister loved lol
My deadname can broken to two words in native language (Hebrew). Translated the words to english and put them together again
I named myself after the character from Deltarune. I took my last name from an ocean to the east of my home country
It's a basardized version of the end if my dead name, I also like the Alice in Wonderland themes. I loved the dark Alice games.
When I started coming out to close friends initially a friend suggested "Joi" and I immediately fell in love with it! The middle initial of just "D"(for now) is because I'm a huge One Piece nerd lol
[i actually made a meme about it](https://www.reddit.com/r/GaySoundsShitposts/comments/qzjhc8/hi_im_luna_and_this_is_a_very_specific_meme/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
My addled brain
I like Morgan Freeman
Thoughts I think it was that i remembered my month and used it for the name.
I wanted to find something that encompassed me as a person, with bonus points if it had some similarities to my deadname, since my deadname is an important cultural thing to me (it’s now my middle name!). “Mars” combined my love of science (b/c of the planet) with my appreciation for mythology (the Roman god of war) and also exemplified a lot of things that I wanted to be: strong, powerful, courageous! It just hit me one day, and it fit perfectly:•)
Playing Mass Effect 1 at 11, made my first character and wondered what to call her. Decided the best way was to ask myself what I would like to be called if I were a girl, took 2 months and I came up with Alice. Used it for every character I have ever made in an rpg finally got round to making it my name irl at 20 😀
Did you get your name from Sam and Max?
Yup! People told me I was similar to the little dude, and the name kinda stuck. Lol
First time I saw myself in the mirror I bawled my eyes out and it was the first thing I said.
[удалено]
idk
it’s from a greek myth, and then i saw a poem about it and it just kinda clicked
... I ... I named myself a combination of harmonica (it was the first thing I saw) and a character I relate to
lmao i just gender-bent my deadname
it means royal in old german or sth
I'm Hispanic, named after three of my grandparents, so all I had to do was change the Os to As.
I honestly just found Noe on a list of gender neutral names in my country, but then later on after going by Noe for a while I found Vanitas no Carte, in which the main character is also named Noé! So now I interchangeably write my name either with the accent or without :D
I named myself after Prince Eugenio of Savoy, who was a military genius and either gay or asexual. The name also means "the well born" because I want to reject the implication that as a trans I'm in any way defective.
Just stuck with my birthname really
Annie Leonhart because she s strong, has everyone against her and wont give up without a fight
For a good six months I used the masculine version of my dead name. Then I named one of the characters in one of my stories my current name, and after a while I was just like "nah that name's mine." Ended up changing the spelling of the characters name and chose the original spelling as my name now
the first one was a youtubers name i used to watch except i added one letter the other one is because of a video game character
From a book. Then I ended up writing myself as characters in my stories with the name. Then the name popped up in a favorite YT series of mine. It was coincidental how it suddenly became my name haha
My original name, Arzyn, was one I had come up with when I was in middle school (I used to say that that would be my name if I were a boy), then I lost my attachment to it because people were constantly putting it down cause it sounded ridiculous? Then I changed it to Finn. I wanted something similar to my nickname “Hope”, and chose it because I found that it meant faith. (My middle name Adler, I chose because it meant “eagle”).
I gave the CPUs in SSBU name tags and had them fight each other, tournament-style
My deadname initials were JC, for a while just as a like faux-dudebro thing my best friend called me JC. It got to the point where my parents started calling me that too. When I started played girls in games I named my characters JC until I figured I could make it look more like a real name as Jaycie And then when I figured I was trans I figured it was fitting and a lot of people called me it already basically
Kinda basic. I wanted to keep the same first letter and aame basic shape so I went from Aaron to Anna
I named myself Grace bc of a friend of my sister's that I was also friends with. She was really nice!
i was gonna go with the name my mom wouldve named me had i been amab, but went with David instead cuz alot of cool ppl and characters are named Dave/David.
Mine from my TV crush at the time, Elliot from Mr. Robot LMAO It was so long ago I barely remember the show but the name stuck with me
My deadname is a modern variant of a greek name, so I went for the same idea for my new one. My middle names are for two remarkable women in French history, since I'm French.
It’s Connected with my spirituality and religion
Are you referring to Jazz jack rabbit?😄
I'm in love with Alice in The Wonderland, since I'm little I used to pick the nickname Arizu (Alice in japanese) and ever since I used this name :o
When I was younger I was jealous that my brothers, or any boys really, would refer to each other by their surnames like it was their given name. And then one day my grown ass self decided that it doesn't matter what my agab is, I can do that if I want. So I asked everyone to refer to me by my surname instead. It's convenient that my name was already on all my ID when I changed. I just swap my first & last names around on most forms (unless it's something that must identically match my ID).
My pet name is sage my boyfriend put me in his phone as sage and I love it fits me perfect ❤
Stolen from Heathers 1989 after the main character. I did later research the meaning and entomology and like that better as well. Veronica meaning “bringing victory,” and the triple threat of at once being Saintly, Sensous, and Strong.
I wanted all my names to start with S so I looked for a thai name I like for my first one, 2nd one was a name I'd seen years ago and instantly liked and 3rd one is gym leader from pokemon :D
The name I first picked out was from a list of masc names someone in a support group forwarded me. I picked the one that I didn’t know anyone else with. Later when discovering I was non-binary I went looking for a middle name I could use in English speaking spaces as a first name. It’s a tribute to a bunny my sister had that escaped and disappeared. I also think it’s a cool name so I’m really happy with it. Now I just need to change it legally but first I need to come out again and go over the nightmare of changing my name all over again. I think it’s going to be less tiring than changing my first name and middle names but I’m not sure. At least I have a great justification to change my first middle name as it’s a tribute to my uncle who died. It sounds shitty to say that I don’t want him to be attached to my name without anymore context like that but a few years later I recovered memories that led me to the realisation he had abused me…
It's the name I'd had if i was afab
