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

@rose I changed my name to Ada, and I regret not changing it to Adaline so much so that I'm likely going to change my name again, this time to Adaline.

I won't ever be Adaline in day to day conversation, but i want to have a more "formal" version of my name
