Hello my dears :3

So rn I’m going by Jamie and there’s a lot I really like about this name. Its meaning works well (she, who supplants), it’s the name of my favorite skater when I was a kid, it does have a nice ring to it.

But when I chose it to play with, I didn’t know where my journey would lead to. Now that I do I’m just not sure I like the ambiguity.

That being said, I wonder, how did you all pick your new names? Does it have a special meaning to you? Anything in particular that made you go like “Yes, that’s it, that’s me!”?

€: Thanks for sharing everyone (and keep going :3)! Definitely some inspiration in there.

    I haven’t totally settled yet, but I was named after my maternal and paternal grandfathers, so I’ll probably end up switching to my grandmother’s names instead. I just feel like if I don’t set a rigid rule for naming myself, I’ll end up changing it every month. I’m very indecisive.

      Yeah, same struggle here. And I’m quiet good at being indecisive.
