There’s a badass maths lady I met on Tumblr who named herself Tesseract. She definitely won at names.
I’m in awe at this one honestly, “Tess” and “Tessa” are great nicknames and then you can drop the “it’s short for Tesseract” and blow minds. Absolutely fantastic name.
It’s all fun and games until Thanos uses you as blingbling
I’m not sure what this means.
fuck meant to type Thanos, fuck autocorrect
Yup. I still don’t get it.
Is this what being old is like?
99% chance they were going with Ender, but there’s that 1% chance they were going with Pigman and that’s what I’ll choose to believe
creeper
Aw, man
Turns out they were going to go with “Steve”.
CHICKEN JOCKEEYYY
that’s not even a mob that’s just a real human name…
Good chance for Blaze
I’d we had more trans people in the 90s most trans men would be named Blaze
There’s also Allay, Wither, and Ghast
everyone out here ignoring strider
blaze mayb
iirc that was it
I know a Blaze, although it’s spelled differently
Are they related to Guy Firey?
I don’t think they come from Flavortown but maybe they’re a distant relative
second cousin thrice removed, from titty city
Also Vex, Blaze, Sniffer, Hoglin, Zoglin
Vex and Blaze are pretty cool names tbh
If you’re the protagonist of a SNES JRPG.
Sonic OC
Or a Pokémon gym leader.
Kid named Zombified Piglin:
So many called Alex because it goes for men or women
I misread that as Starcraft and was imagining “I go by ‘Overmind, The Eternal Will Of The Swarm’ now”
I also read StarCraft and was trying to think of what names they could have picked
Kid named zergling: :(
Edit: unironically though, Archon is a kinda cool name
Kid named fucking Mildred:
Why’d someone name themselves or name their kid “Fucking Mildred”?
It’s a reference to this post
The man-eater?
I feel like Allay would be a nice name
There’s a Minecraft mob called Luna?
this one
Ok so should I criticize my trans friend for forgetting to change her last name from -ski suffix to -skaya suffix when doing the legal name change to remove deadname?
I think this depends on context. I live in Sweden, so a non-slavic country, and I have known multiple women with -ski suffixes. Some from marriages or being born in Sweden and just getting ski automatically, but I had a teacher from Poland who has the masculine ending.
So I think if you’re in a country where last names are typically gendered, then sure, it can help to have a last name that is congruent with your identity. If you’re in a country where that is not the norm, I think it’s fine either way.
In any case, it’s her name and her choice.
