For me Its quite simple. My brain decided it. Literally. The days I found out I’m trans, my brain would do this weird thing, where I could think about completely different stuff and suddenly my now chosen name would “fly” into my mental Field of View, like an asteroid in star wars or so. I told that name a close friend and 4 weeks later when we went to the club together I told him, that I will stick with it, because I didnt had a better idea (and it was the only name I really felt comfortable with).
I got it from a fantasy name generator, from its demon category.
That’s probably one of the most metal things imaginable.
I just kept asking people if I may have their names and they kept giving them to me
Username checks out
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.)
I had actually agonized over a new male name before, and eventually I settled on Hal… and it didn’t take long before the idea of a Hailey appeared… I couldn’t shake the name so it ended up sticking to an idea of an idealized partner. So when I found out I’m trans, it was only natural to pick Hailey.
Now, there are multiple equally valid (and a few invalid) ways to spell it so that was just kinda vibes
(the really sucky part now is, I now have three names for myself, the only place I’m currently going by Hailey is here… and I never finished rolling out Hal, so it’s kinda breaking my brain that now I want to kinda clean all that up. Domain names, usernames, display names… school is the only IRL place I managed to go by Hal, everyone else knows me by my birthname… I’m holding back on tangenting on the logistics of social name changing & of course coming out…)
I dont get it
It’s a character from Attack on Titan. Iirc the character is called Sasha and she gets shouted at for eating a potato during a military drill. Her response is to offer the drill sergeant part of the potato. (Been a while since I watched AoT)
Yeah that’s it lol, I like feeding people.
It’s not really the reason, but she was at least part of what drew me to it, and it’s really funny tbh
Thanks
I downloaded mine from a silly pink hedgie :3
I was chatting about names with my wife and she suggested it. Tried it out, it fit, and now I’m legally stuck with it :3
I was thinking about Satan on my walk and figured that “Lucy” is short for “Lucifer”, and then was like “Lucy actually sounds pretty nice…”
I returned home and told about it with my friend (also trans) and she was like “wow so cool!!!” so I went with it. That’s it :3
And I just thought of random names until I found one I liked. lol
