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 haven’t. There’s some baggage with my (unfortunately masculine) given name than I’m not ready to let go of and I don’t have any name I actually want.
Sometimes I change the spelling to be feminine (albeit a rare name compared to the masc form) and more similar to my mom’s name (who my name was picked to rhyme with). It’s a spelling I used as my character name in a Pokemon game when I chose a girl character like a decade before my egg cracked and my friend thought it was an uhh interesting choice (expressed by friendly teasing).
