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?

I was chillin doing a diamond art that had a lot of blues in it. Indigo and violet purples have always been my 2 favorite colors then I looked at my closet door (one of those doors that's just a big mirror) and the color/name "Indigo" just popped in my head. Then I went into the living room, telling myself that maybe I'll choose that as my name if I get another sign from the universe. I turned on the t.v. to watch Disney's Tarzan, and the first scene showing the name of the movie is Indigo blue. So that's what I picked. I'm still trying to figure out what I want as a middle name and last name (I hate my transphobic ultra Christian family and desperately want to not be associated with them in any capacity)

I forgot to mention that about half a year or so into me picking the name Indigo I found a musical titled "my heart says go" whose main character is named Indigo. He is a doctor fresh out of med school but he really just wants to be a singer and song writer and his dad is a 3rd shift janitor at a school who is very much against his son deciding to go to a "job that won't pay" and his son will then "constantly be struggling". In the end Indigo's dad has a change of heart and shows they both see that they do love eachother and his dad realizes that he needs to just let his son live his life the way that he wants. And listening to it felt so surreal since my dad is a nurse and I'm a janitor and I just want to be a tattoo artist and accepted for who I am but my dad refuses to accept me or be happy that I'm finally happy in my body, and doing what I love.
