    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.

    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 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 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.

    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

    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.

    Not trans but I did change my last name to my mother’s maiden name. Don’t like my mother much either but I repeat my clan and grandfather far more than the sub-human filth that is the kin of the tainted one.

    Do you ever wish to rend thine own flesh for having corrupted blood within or is that a me problem? Regardless I wish to annihilated my paternal DNA regardless of all other factors.

    I was thinking about Satan back then and noticed that Lucifer can be shortened to Lucy and thought that this name is actually really nice.

    TLDR the reason is satanism
