Just to have some conversation here I’m curious how you chose your name if you’ve already chosen one and what the story behind it is? And if you haven’t chosen your name yet, maybe people are able to help you decide.

As for me it was always pretty clear which name I would choose because a few years before even realising I’m trans much less coming out I asked my mum what name I would have gotten if I was born a girl. She told me that I always successfully hid my genitals on every ultrasound picture (kind of prophetic in hindsight) so my parents had to choose a name for both possibilities. And thus a name was already chosen for me that fit perfectly. 🥰

I’m curious to hear your stories!

    My story is still being written. My mother wanted to give me a horrendous name when I was born and my older brother saved me and gave me the name I’ve had until now. I’m hoping when I come out to him he will be accepting and if I’m really lucky maybe he can give me the name I’ll use for the remainder of my life.
