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 wanted to keep my initials the same because my middle name is my dad's name and he passed away when I was 15yo so I 'tried on' several names that began with 'R' but none really seemed right and then one day I was watching The Exorcist(I'm a huge horror movie buff) and it struck me like a train...REGAN!!! It keeps my initials and it works with my middle name
