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).
When I was a teenager, I tried on a name that I picked because it made me happy, but I didn’t mean to stick with that name. Decades later, that’s now my legal name, in honor of the person I was then and her idealism.
It’s great that you were able to find it so easily. I never really gave it much thought until recently. I kinda like Kara and Robyn but I wouldn’t use them together. I’m going to try both out for a bit and see if I can get used to either of them. I also like Sarah, but I know way too many Sarahs to be comfortable using it.
