For me Its quite simple. My brain decided it. Literally. The days I found out I’m trans, my brain would do this weird thing, where I could think about completely different stuff and suddenly my now chosen name would “fly” into my mental Field of View, like an asteroid in star wars or so. I told that name a close friend and 4 weeks later when we went to the club together I told him, that I will stick with it, because I didnt had a better idea (and it was the only name I really felt comfortable with).

    My “furname” was because I wanted something soft and creature-ish. My IRL chosen name (Petrichor/Petroglyph/Petra) was because again, I wanted something kinda creature-ish but could be shortened to something feminine.

    I’m kinda jealous of a friend of mine tho. Her chosen name (Coral) is literally 10/10 and kinda fits her perfectly >.>
