I asked that question about names both because I’m finally going to file for a name change on Friday but also have been weighing the idea of making some changes.
Jade feels like armor to me, armor that is me, yes, but no longer quite evokes how I feel. One thought is that government ID doesn’t define me and is perhaps the perfect place to use this armor.
My current middle name is Ember, which I like a lot, but am not sure I actually want to be called it by others (I also really haven’t tested this).
Last name is Pixel because fuck my dad but mostly because Rule of Cool and it sounds like the last name of a cyberpunk protagonist. Life is too short not to have fun.
I also have a True Name, I’ve only shared with a few people, but frankly after recent events, that one doesn’t feel great either.
