Hello my dears :3

So rn I’m going by Jamie and there’s a lot I really like about this name. Its meaning works well (she, who supplants), it’s the name of my favorite skater when I was a kid, it does have a nice ring to it.

But when I chose it to play with, I didn’t know where my journey would lead to. Now that I do I’m just not sure I like the ambiguity.

That being said, I wonder, how did you all pick your new names? Does it have a special meaning to you? Anything in particular that made you go like “Yes, that’s it, that’s me!”?

€: Thanks for sharing everyone (and keep going :3)! Definitely some inspiration in there.

    I picked Riley from ig my long time favorite bands frontladys performance name (so not really her name). It just sounded rough and cute at the same time, which i guess fits me and my friend likes it too.

    Not sure if i can have it as my legal name though…

      I liked that one too, Rilee in my case. When still questioning I’ve had a list of ambiguous names, Jamie and Rilee were the last two contenders.
