Read about history, and then steal the name of the most badass woman you find.

Got drunk with friends and wrote down all the names that might work, and tried then one by one. Good thing the first one stuck, cause the next one was womannator 3000

Idk, I just tried random things until it felt right and sounded cool. I love myself, Nell. I love you too babe.

On a sidenote: try googling popular dog names…

i got my forename from a not super interesting book i forgot the title of a while ago. i decided on my surname with my family (long story), ultimately took it from a modern-era historical figure known for her work with data processing. i also technically have a middle name suggested by my mother that i just put on my legal name/sex change paperwork because why not!! :)

My mom had told me from a young age, long before either of us knew, what I would’ve been named if I’d been a girl. She’d had names picked out for boys and girls but didn’t have a born girl. I call it my “chosen given name”

My wife and I are one and done, very happy. We both really liked our potential daughter’s name and decided I should use it :)

I let my tiktok followers pick it out in 2021. (RIP 🪦 my tiktok)

I chose Flora because I love plants :)

I made a spreadsheet, of a bunch of random nouns I thought had name potential, and then asked my partner and friends their opinions and documented the results

It’s the name of the wife of a twitch streamer I follow. It’s also the name of a notorious feminist who fought for women suffrages in the 50s in my region. And it’s also the name of the most beautiful woman in greek mythology 🥰

I ended up with Emily for a name. I like how it sounds but also because.

• Emily Jane Brontë
• Emily the Strange (really like the vibe)
• Corpse bride.

Then I thought of Lily as a Nickname. Something the meaning of rebirth / renew (not that it’s the only one) it stuck with me.

My name propably came from some anime or video game character, at least its what it associates with in my head. But when i try to find an anime or video game characters with this name, i dont find anything related. Propably a mandela effect or something i dont know.

I knew of this (fake?) character for a long time, and found out that the name suits me perfectly after i realised im trans.

One day while smoking with a friend someone placed a rock in my hand and It struck me like a vision.

I’d tried out a few names at that point and none of them felt like me, then the name I chose just popped into my head and i just kinda knew immediately in that moment. Told my friends later that day and 7 years later it feels weird to think my name was ever anything else.
