does anyone else just like…not feel good about their real name lol i know most of you don’t know the name my parents gave me. it’s a nice name in theory but it’s too long and usually pronounced in a weird way that makes me recoil. and most of the shorted versions people use i also dislike. i would almost compare this to some kind of dysmorphia if i may be so bold. i just like my pseudonym more even if it’s weird 😐 at least i picked it myself and it’s pronounceable

I felt this way for a while. For some reason, my parents weren't offered a gender reveal in advance. They fully assumed I'd be a boy and prepared the name Robert. When I came out, they were surprised but getting pressured by the hospital to pick the name quickly. They went with an English name they felt was uncommon, but has no deep meaning. They also can't pronounce it and neither can anyone in our home country lol I always envied people who had more meaningful stories behind their names. I've embraced it over time because I feel, with age, I get to define my name rather than the other way around. Tiny is a very cute name by the way.
