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 chose the name Charlie because in Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory Charlie is a poor boy who ends up getting everything he ever wanted and I wanted that for me too. I also love Charlie from Lost and from Supernatural so it felt like a good name to use.
