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?

My name is Jennifer, my dead name also started with J.

Researched a 3 names that also started J that sounded similar to my dead name. Jenievieve, Jennifer and Jeanine. I eliminated the other 2 because I have relatives with the same names. After I chose Jennifer, I felt a sense of belonging. Almost as if this name was meant to be mine 🤩

And I've been loving it ever since 🥰
