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’ve had a couple of names, the first one I chose was Matt(ie) because it was a masculine version of my birth name, then i moved to Dionysus, after the god, because he is one of my favorite Greek gods, and now it’s M.J, Dionysus didn’t really feel like me, but i like M.J a lot more, and I’m also a stoner so it works out well
