just interested in hearing peoples stories for how y’all have chosen your new names! doesn’t have to be particularly profound or interesting really, i just like hearing about others experiences.

i’m actually planning on changing my own soon socially despite being cis, and just really like hearing how others came to find their names, as well as am curious about if anyone had to go through more than one to find what’s right for them. i figured this would be the best community to talk about the topic even if i’m not trans :)

    that’s really cool! soleil is a really nice name, especially with the fun sun connection (i’m pretty sure at least?), and sol is a badass nickname if that’s what you use.

      “Soleil” does mean “sun” in French and I like to think that I’m more sunshine than clouds! ☀️ Sol is definitely a nickname I go by.
