I recently came to the conclusion that I was definitely supposed to be a woman (yay me). But I’ve spent the first half of my life trying to suppress that thought, that I hadn’t put much thought into what I’d like to be called.

I’m trying to find a name which would suit a relatively butch lesbian with a mischievous personality who was born on terf island to boomer parents in the 80s but also works in Scandinavia. My given name has a female version, but it sounds weird for a Britt.

What made you settle on your names?

Edit: thanks for all the replies. I’m going to try out Kara for a while and see how it resonates. Feel free to suggest similar names or potential middle names (which absolutely should not start with k, by the way).

    I just… tried a bunch. Alexandra was my first, used it for about 6 months online. Didn’t like it. Too harsh. Then I tried Sarah, felt better, new test group… but wasn’t right. Unsure why, just wasn’t me. Tried Amanda, and that was it.

    The downside of this is you have to make disposable friend groups. I made mine on old internet kink websites, a few focused on like… pre-written “teases”. It kept things fairly transactional and anonymous so there wasn’t any relationships to break, just another content creator disappearing
