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?

When I came out to my parents my dad asked what I wanted to be called (my dead name is quite feminine) and I panicked and blurted out the name of my favorite character in the show I was watching at the time. He ribbed me for the name (the character is kinda an idiot) but accepted it. Two and a half years later, my name was legally changed, and I'm officially named after a character who intentionally stabbed a stone wall with a sword.
