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 :)
Changing your name is a big decision. No shame in work-shopping it. I still have a list of 10 names I wanted to pick for myself for various reason. I even tried one out for a few weeks, but said nah.
