Trans Memes

I played too much Hades and am obsessed with the moon and am tomboyish and socially awkward

I removed the last 2 letters from my deadname

Codsworth from fo4 could say certain prerecorded pc names. Thus, I found out i preferred the name Assface

Video game player, thru many (mmo)rpg genre, had to make many fantasy names. Went known thru most common one, then picked some irl name that was similar. (not related to my lemmy username).

Still very much pre-transition so idk if i will change my name in the future. Already go by the shortened version of my name, and its pretty neutral/unisex in the shortened form, so... shrug

I am not a the type of girl who is into gem/crystals but for some reason I just liked this particular name stuck in my brain when ever I was looking up crystal meanings cus I was really bored one day and wanted to understand what the hype around crystals was (still don't really understand it but at least I got a name out of it).

It’s a female version of my birth name, it can be shortened to Tam which is fun, plus I think it sounds cute.

Now if only I were able to actually use it, sigh…

I stole mine from a Greek goddess. It is only part of her name though. This goddess also was known by Kori, so it actually seems like a perfect choice. (My chosen name isn't currently in my display name.)

Its the first two letters of my deadname :')

my butch great aunt born in the 1910's hated it and went by her middle name

SO I FUCKIN STOLE IT YOINK

I downloaded mine from a silly pink hedgie :3

I had priorities and did research. I had rules I decided from the beginning. It took months to decide I even changed my mind a on somethings at the last minute

1. Initials I needed something to match my initials. That only changed slightly when I decided to make sure I didn't have my sperm donors last name.

2. I needed my name to come from a similar part of the globe historically. I think nowadays I'd have done the same thing for different reasons. When I first made this rule I'd done it to respect my sperm donor despite everything. Then later on I kept it because I had already decided on this and it filtered out thousands of names. If I had to name myself today, this rule would mean that my name comes from the same area as my siblings, which honestly means it doesn't stand out.

3. I needed the meaning of my name to matter. And I wanted something I'd always agree with. Personally I feel like I fucked up here. At the time I was extremely angry at my father and part of my name reflects that. Nowadays I wish I had picked something that embodied myself and wasn't just an insult towards someone else. I don't hate it but I feel like if I had gotten a second opinion I'd have gone with my other choice for a middle name.

4. It needed you sound a certain way, I needed saying first into middle to sound good. Not hard when they're from the same region but that's not always the case.

I think with this I only struggled to choose between 4-5 names and was going to put the number 2 or 3 pick as a middle name it worked out well for me. I think if I hadn't gotten pissed off during the time before I legally changed my name I'd definitely have a different middle name though.
