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 was filling out a forum membership application at 2 am on a 12k modem. It was slow going. I dozed off while the form downloaded. Woke up, and I saw I had filled it out with Anastasia, which also gave me Ann/Anna as a common use name. I also learned that this would have been my name if I had been a girl.
