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).

For a while when I was a kid I wondered what my name would be if I chose it myself and that was the only one that felt like it fit. Totally forgot about it until after my egg shattered and realized that it's gender-neutral and I really like the cutesy nickname/diminutive forms

I used this advanced search tool (particularly the community impressions) to select a name appropriate to my language and culture with the vibe I'm going for. I selected 10 names I liked and had the five people closest to me vote on them. There was a clear winner.

That doesn't have to be something you need to be sad about Smorty! Look at it this way, you've got a world of opportunity ahead of you for what you can pick! It's such an exciting and fun time figuring out what name suits you best, what feels most comfy! That's !!!! super exciting !!!!!

I stole my Ex‘s name because that was the only „non binary“ name that didnt sound either female, male, or rhyme with the german word for puke or being drunk

It started as a joke (removing the D from my nickname, haha) and it stuck... So I had my new nickname and from there I tried to find a full name that could be abbreviated to my nickname, but I couldn't find one and told my cousin and my sister and both of them suggested the same name spontaneously and independently and I thought "wow I loved that name when I was young and my favourite character in my favourite show has the same name" and from there my brain kept it... It's perfect.

I dont get it

It's a character from Attack on Titan. Iirc the character is called Sasha and she gets shouted at for eating a potato during a military drill. Her response is to offer the drill sergeant part of the potato. (Been a while since I watched AoT)

I was thinking about Satan on my walk and figured that "Lucy" is short for "Lucifer", and then was like "Lucy actually sounds pretty nice..."

I returned home and told about it with my friend (also trans) and she was like "wow so cool!!!!!" so I went with it. That's it :3

No.

I'm not sure I qualify for this (relevant username) but I do have two names I think about using if I ever crack my shell. One is just a name I always liked and one is part of an online pseudonym I used a long time (and that I still use sometimes) that has a totally different backstory, can be used kinda androgynously but is mostly used by women with one noticeable exception.

And no one is stopping anyone from choosing more than one name.

i have no strong opinions on names. most probably i'll buy an -e and put it at the end. :)
