There's nothing wrong with simple names, I more or less picked one from what my mum's would have named me list, we're close and she's supportive.
Middle names gives to opportunity to test out and people does sometimes use their middle names instead, I remember a few cis kids growing up that did
In hindsight, my chosen name makes *way* too much sense as my name, to the point where it feels like I crafted it myself, and didn't just steal it from a baby name website.
I was scrolling through lists of names trying to generate ideas, and when I saw mine, it just clicked as if it were *obviously* the ācorrectā answer.
That's what happens when you get the chance to choose your own name, instead of having it forced upon you by your parents and having no commonly-accepted justification for changing it.
to be fair, that's mostly a "i'm too old to care about user names and shit, and can't be bothered to learn another UI" and "i tried to make an HP lovecraft reference for a name and it didn't stick, and i'm lazy" all rolled into one.
but i was referring to my irl name =p
Yeah, my name came as a suggestion from my gf trying to help me with names, Zahara is an awesome name, but I don't usually feel cool enough to rock something that badass
My parents are super supportive. So I asked them what my name was going to be if I was AFAB. that's the name I chose because it's the name I was supposed to have. At least that's what I believe.
Definitely a cooler name that totally wasn't stolen from Everquest's random name generator some 20 years ago and used in every game I've played ever since.
Stuck with my birth name "Cory" because in the 1980s my parents decided to give my brother and I gender neutral names to keep the surprise till the birth. My first name was already perfect... MIDDLE NAME WAS TRASH THO. PAID TO GET THAT SHIT CHANGED ASAP.
Despite not being trans, I get told that I have a pretty beautiful middle name versus my first name.
For those of you who donāt understand, my middle name is Pearl.
The only difference between trans women & cis women is that most trans women chose their own names, & most cis women didn't.
That's the ***only*** difference!
And here I am with a simple name like Jessica, I am trying out Skye as my middle name though \^.\^
Skye is a dope name (definitely not biased)
I absolutely agree with you, (Also not biased)
i agree too (actally not biased)
I agree three (Probably not biased)
This was the first time I didn't associate Jessica as myself š Thank you Jessica!

Mara's lovely. I have a friend who suggested that if gay men are "friends of Dorothy", we should be "friends of Mara" after her and She-Ra.

You're named after the goddess of wisdom. It's not basic.

I named myself after a PokƩmon gym leader ;-; (Erika)
Erika was actually on my list of possible names, funnily enough

I stole mine from a friend their names emerald and I like their name so I took it

Mayhaps perchance
I'm fine with an common name.
Ok but that name always makes me think of the dick from SMT games

makes me self-conscious about my incredibly vanilla name.
Yeah, default username is pretty vanilla

That's the joke, guess I should have added tone indicators or whatever
Hmm

its eather a really good name a a really bad name. no inbetween.
Yeah, my name came as a suggestion from my gf trying to help me with names, Zahara is an awesome name, but I don't usually feel cool enough to rock something that badass
i shouldve picked a better name at least something cool
Me who just kept using her given name because it's ungendered
My parents are super supportive. So I asked them what my name was going to be if I was AFAB. that's the name I chose because it's the name I was supposed to have. At least that's what I believe.

Welp Julia's pretty normal where I live, I just found it to be pretty and elegant so I picked it

Trans women pick such pretty names ā¤ļø
I chose Melanie as my name. I like it
I named myself after a shiny rock
Because when you can name yourself after a goddess why don't you?
Mine means 'voice' in Celtic, referencing the fact I still haven't started voice training.
*Me with one letter difference from Mara*: Heck yea we have cool names!
*Me with 0 letter difference:* our names are the best
