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 had picked a name from a video game I really loved and had intended that to be my future daughter’s name for over a decade but eventually realized that the person I really wanted to have that name was me.

    And I never wanted kids, so it was always weird to me that I had a name picked out, but I was never the most insightful person.
