I just hated that name as a teenager and thought it sounds stupid. So I just took it as a funny artistic name. Soon everyone started call me Valentine and I loved i. Then I decided to add HNDSM cuz I am handsome and it sounds cool without vowels :^)

It's Aleksander :] I am transgender so i changed my name (a few times actually). At the start I had some "rules" to choose a name:
1. It should be italian (i am italian, i didn't want to stand out)
2. It should be long and have nicknames (i like nicknames)
3. It shouldn't be religious (i am an atheist and i didn't like to have a name associated with god)
4. It should have a cool meaning (i like names' etymology)
In the end i chose Stefano, but it didn't feel like me at all.
I always liked Alessandro as a name, but i felt like i knew too many people with that name (like.... 5), so i looked up the variations and Aleksander stand out. Aleksander means "defender of men", and i like to add "in a gay way" for fun. I also chose Hermes as a second "unofficial" name, so i ended up disregarding like almost half of the rules. lmao.

not many people my age are named it which is why i used to hate it as a kid, but i've grown to love it. precisely because it's not "fitting" for my age practically everyone in my life calls me nicknames, which are fun and silly, but are also NOT my name, so it can get tiring sometimes lol. i honestly adore it now and when someone close to me (so professors/academic figures/etc. don't count) uses it i kind of percieve it as a sign of respect, even an act of love. it's intimate, really. i'd love it if people used it more :').

for real though, I've had several names and my deadname and legal name (both different) are not interesting to me or profound in origin. I was gonna be named Avery, which is honestly really cool with me, but another parent they knew who gave birth the same day named their kid Avery first. so they decided to name me something else to be original on the spot. π

so flowers, my current and most recent name... came from a halo machinima series π he was my favorite character and everyone just started calling me that and it really resonates with me as a name of who I am in vibe. it reminds me of some really great times and people I love. when I use it I feel more connected to who I was then and bridging it with nowΒ Β

Give this one a try. Itβs really good. It smells like a forest after rain. I bought it for about 40$ a couple of years ago and loved it. Itβs super affordable for this type of perfume.
