I'm filling out the paperwork for my name change. I had been planning on changing my first name to Rosalie but going by Rose day-to-day, which I've been doing for a while. Is it pretentious to change my legal name to something and go by a shortened form? Should I just change it to Rose and be done with it? #trans #transnames

I think I might have settled on a name. Now I just need to test it, see how badly Germans will mispronounce it and if they'll gender it correctly.

It's Emilis. The Lithuanian form of Emil/Emilio/you get the idea :)

If I get too annoyed with correcting people, I might resort to Elias. It's not as meaningful to me, but it'd make my life easier lol.

#Trans folks, tell me your stories! How did you come up with a name? If you picked a less common one, are you happy with your choice?

I forgot about all of the names I had gone through.

Kathryn (Which I would be using if I didn't have another trans friend named Kathrine)
Karma
Sage (Shortly)
Rue
And now we're here, Skylar.
