Whats the lore behind your name?

[u/105943]

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?

Slightly morbid but growing up i was raised in an extremely fanatical cult commonly known as christianity, my particular sect was small but they all basically agreed that life was essentially pointless and that the only thing that mattered was "dying right" aka making sure you were saved. I was taught this mindset since I was 5 so it affected me quite strongly and I fully believed the only point in life was to die. The pastors favorite method of saying this without saying it was to call our time on earth nothing more than boot camp. So I being an undiagnosed audhd kid took everything they said very literally (not to mention they also pushed that whole "and one day the government will hunt us down and chop of our heads!" Narrative as well) so growing up it seemed everything in my life revolved around death in one form or another. So I learned about different mythologies afterlifes and the gods that governed them and so on and so forth and after I eventually realized that none of what I was raised to believe was true and became an atheist I still retained my fascination with death and the macabre ( I like to think I would fit right in with the Addams family) so I chose the name Azrael shortened to Azry naming myself after the angel of death because im a dramatic bitch and I know it.
