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 just kept asking people if I may have their names and they kept giving them to me

I dont get it

[–] Nikko882@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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)

I'm not sure I qualify for this (relevant username) but I do have two names I think about using if I ever crack my shell. One is just a name I always liked and one is part of an online pseudonym I used a long time (and that I still use sometimes) that has a totally different backstory, can be used kinda androgynously but is mostly used by women with one noticeable exception.

And no one is stopping anyone from choosing more than one name.

I went by Grey for a long time and just added 3 letters.

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

[–] phr@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

i have no strong opinions on names. most probably i'll buy an -e and put it at the end. :)

My "furname" was because I wanted something soft and creature-ish. My IRL chosen name (Petrichor/Petroglyph/Petra) was because again, I wanted something kinda creature-ish but could be shortened to something feminine.

I'm kinda jealous of a friend of mine tho. Her chosen name (Coral) is literally 10/10 and kinda fits her perfectly >.>

I got it from a fantasy name generator, from its demon category.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

That's probably one of the most metal things imaginable.

[–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

It’s a name that I saw online a handful of times and always thought was incredibly cool. Then came across it again recently trying to pick a name, while I was looking through related names, and it immediately became a top candidate. And it also works well in both German and English which is also something I wanted.

For a while when I was a kid I wondered what my name would be if I chose it myself and that was the only one that felt like it fit. Totally forgot about it until after my egg shattered and realized that it's gender-neutral and I really like the cutesy nickname/diminutive forms

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That doesn't have to be something you need to be sad about Smorty! Look at it this way, you've got a world of opportunity ahead of you for what you can pick! It's such an exciting and fun time figuring out what name suits you best, what feels most comfy! That's !!!! super exciting !!!!!

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

[–] TranaCosmica@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 month ago

I used it since I was 13 on IRC ""catfishing"", well it was not catfishing actually, it was me expressing how I wanted to live, but I didn't realised at that time. Then, I came out at 27 and remembered those days and rescued the name.
