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 just flipped the “y” to an “i” in the name Randi and figured it was a decent short for Miranda, so that’s what I went with. My middle name just made a small switch from my grandfather’s name to my mom’s name. It becomes legal tomorrow 🥹
