I’m a Big Fat Queer (gender and sexuality) so my name always felt good, but not enough? I feel like Matt encapsulates the part of me that felt missing with Madeleine. But I also have a whole list in my phone of other names I think I’d enjoy, and I like going by Pikoliu online. I like seeing what different parts of myself come out with different names!
Other possible names: Markets, Garden, Mint, Maybe, Ksenia, Pirkko, Yarrow, Meadow

I've had issues with my name, I never really liked or identified with it until recently. I think it's really pretty but idk it just never felt connected to me. Thankfully, it isn't my full first name, Amaya-mei, so online and for a chunk of my life I went by "Mei" and most people who've met me online still call me that.
Now, I've come to really like my own name, whether it's Amaya, Amaya-mei, or Mei. But I've also really enjoyed being called by the usernames that I choose. So Juniper, Cosmo, Meiji, etc. In the end go with what feels right for you! I've had sooo many names across the interwebs and they all feel like me. So I'd say go with what feels like you.

They’re like nicknames but opposite because they’re intentionally longer.
For example:
Kait? No. Kaitastrophe(courtesy of ned)
Jake? More like Jakediah.
Matt? Nope you’re Mattarina.

When I was a younger, I never liked "Megan", it didn't feel like it fit me. Whenever I went someplace new where people wouldn't have to know me for a long time, I tried out different names for myself to see what would fit, but nothing else really did. As an adult, I finally feel like Megan/Meg is right. I've come to appreciate the ways my friends have shaped it and made it their own little codeword for me, like Mego, Mango, even my username Meggle came from friends. I finally feel at home in Megan, it just took me a bit of time.

No idea what I’ll do with them yet but they’re very fun to make!! I recommend taking a lamp work class if you’re ever interested, it’s very meditative

Bad at being a woman, worse at being a man, nevertheless still kicking
Fear is useless and temporary, glory is forever
