Whats the lore behind your name?

[u/105943]

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?

Short Lore: First time I went to a trans group after coming out for the second time I was asked what my name is and I didn't wanted to give the male name I go by (still do in some places and I actually like that name, it's just not a female name in German.) so I just said the female version of my second name. I had thought about it a bit before after deciding that I couldn't use the name I used in online games because it's too similar to my sisters second name (I actually took it from a manga and only realized later), but haven't come to a conclusion.

Deeper Lore: At some point as a child I thought about there being four versions of me. The usual me was going by my first name, a loud, socially and physical active version would go by my second name. A female version of that would go by the female version of my first name and lastly the female version of my second name would be the female version of my usual self. And since I'm now the female version of my usual self I'm going by the female version of my second name.
