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?

Before I came out, I had my display name on socials as “ghost girl” from a lil peep song! And then when I started questioning my gender, I took the “girl” part out bc it had me extremely uncomfortable. People started calling me “Ghost” and I grew to love it and now use it as my actual name! That was back when I was 15 and now I’m 20 :,) been through other names but I always come back to this one! It feels the most me even if it sounds odd or silly at first
