For me Its quite simple. My brain decided it. Literally. The days I found out I'm trans, my brain would do this weird thing, where I could think about completely different stuff and suddenly my now chosen name would "fly" into my mental Field of View, like an asteroid in star wars or so. I told that name a close friend and 4 weeks later when we went to the club together I told him, that I will stick with it, because I didnt had a better idea (and it was the only name I really felt comfortable with).

I stole my Ex‘s name because that was the only „non binary“ name that didnt sound either female, male, or rhyme with the german word for puke or being drunk

I am not a the type of girl who is into gem/crystals but for some reason I just liked this particular name stuck in my brain when ever I was looking up crystal meanings cus I was really bored one day and wanted to understand what the hype around crystals was (still don't really understand it but at least I got a name out of it).

Still very much pre-transition so idk if i will change my name in the future. Already go by the shortened version of my name, and its pretty neutral/unisex in the shortened form, so... shrug

It’s a female version of my birth name, it can be shortened to Tam which is fun, plus I think it sounds cute.

Now if only I were able to actually use it, sigh…

I had priorities and did research. I had rules I decided from the beginning. It took months to decide I even changed my mind a on somethings at the last minute

  1. Initials I needed something to match my initials. That only changed slightly when I decided to make sure I didn't have my sperm donors last name.

  2. I needed my name to come from a similar part of the globe historically. I think nowadays I'd have done the same thing for different reasons. When I first made this rule I'd done it to respect my sperm donor despite everything. Then later on I kept it because I had already decided on this and it filtered out thousands of names. If I had to name myself today, this rule would mean that my name comes from the same area as my siblings, which honestly means it doesn't stand out.

  3. I needed the meaning of my name to matter. And I wanted something I'd always agree with. Personally I feel like I fucked up here. At the time I was extremely angry at my father and part of my name reflects that. Nowadays I wish I had picked something that embodied myself and wasn't just an insult towards someone else. I don't hate it but I feel like if I had gotten a second opinion I'd have gone with my other choice for a middle name.

  4. It needed you sound a certain way, I needed saying first into middle to sound good. Not hard when they're from the same region but that's not always the case.

I think with this I only struggled to choose between 4-5 names and was going to put the number 2 or 3 pick as a middle name it worked out well for me. I think if I hadn't gotten pissed off during the time before I legally changed my name I'd definitely have a different middle name though.
