just interested in hearing peoples stories for how y’all have chosen your new names! doesn’t have to be particularly profound or interesting really, i just like hearing about others experiences.

i’m actually planning on changing my own soon socially despite being cis, and just really like hearing how others came to find their names, as well as am curious about if anyone had to go through more than one to find what’s right for them. i figured this would be the best community to talk about the topic even if i’m not trans :)

Not trans but more genderfluid I guess. I have this alter ego and I got her name by finding the closest conventional name to my online nickname. And the full name version is hella cute which helps me to feel more fem. Anna and Annabelle.
