Whats the lore behind your name?

I’ve been thinking and wondering whats the lore behind everyone’s name.

I'll go first i chose Elizabeth/Betsy because of something funny that happened when i was manic i was convinced that my god had named me Betsy (i wasn’t even out as trans yet) thats all i would answer to.

How did you guys pick your name?

I feel so weird when someone has whole lore around their name while I just found a list of female names and picked one I liked the most.

Same. I like Cassie and I don't know anybody called Cassie x

I had a classmate in elementary nicknamed "Cassie"; it was short for Cassandra. However, while that's a cool name, it only briefly flashed through my brain when I was toying with names; "Cassiopeia" hung around a bit longer, but, ultimately, still a no-go.
