epicene-street-light:

ok but im so convinced names (the one you got, the one(s) you chose, what your parents almost named you) are really telling & shed some light on the person you are

like my name means “poems, magical words” and i write poetry, my mother wanted to call me Athanase which means “the one who doesnt die” and i survived lots of shit that SHOULD have killed me, my mother wanted to call me Lesbia for a while (my father did get her to change her mind, shes a classics teacher and was like “but its a beautiful name it was the muse of some latin poet!!”) and now im the biggest dyke around… like theres a pattern here
