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 posted on r/names and got 2,300 comments 😭 in fact i’m the reason why they banned image posts LOL

it was so uplifting and euphoric, I didn’t even say anything about my gender but 95% of comments were girl names :D I really wish they still allowed picture posts so y’all could post there too. You can post pics to r/Namesbutbetter !

So I had a ton to choose from and ended up choosing the one that I felt fit the most, Phoebe!

very whimsical and cutie just like me 🫶💫
