I feel like Allay would be a nice name
So many called Alex because it goes for men or women
Alex would be a great genderfluid name. Use Alex as default, then when you’re a woman you could be Alexandra and Alexander when you’re a man.
There’s a badass maths lady I met on Tumblr who named herself Tesseract. She definitely won at names.
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? Is ~35 old? I think I might be old.
The tessaract was one of the infinity stones Thanos was after in the MCU
Thank you for putting up with my confusion and explaining!
Ehh kinda. The tessaract contained/was made of the Mind Stone, the thing that made Jarvis into Vision. The Mind Stone is what Thanos was after.
Thanos was after all the stone. that was the whole plot.
the tessaract had the space stone.
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.
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
Good chance for Blaze
I’d we had more trans people in the 90s most trans men would be named Blaze
Turns out they were going to go with “Steve”.
that’s not even a mob that’s just a real human name…
CHICKEN JOCKEEYYY
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
Blasé
Blaise
Blasé is a word that means indifferent and nonchalant.
Also Vex, Blaze, Sniffer, Hoglin, Zoglin
Vex and Blaze are pretty cool names tbh
If you’re the protagonist of a SNES JRPG.
Or a Pokémon gym leader.
locking in my answer on allay. that’s 1000% it
creeper
Aw, man
Prismarine would be sick, or Blaze.
1% chance they were going with Pigman
It’s simon, so maybe…
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 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
There’s a new guy where I work named Zerg. That’s his legal name. Yes his parents gave him it.
Honestly I could also go with Archon
Or Templar
Defiler
Pylon
It would probably be something crazy like “Sarah” or “Jim”.
Arcturus.
The cerebrate names were pretty cool
Kid named Zombified Piglin:
There’s a Minecraft mob called Luna?
this one
Name yourself after a Rowdyruff Boy because honestly, Brick, Boomer and Butch are the perfect fucking names. No notes.
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.
