Been thinking about this for a long time about this. For the past couple of months I’ve been experimenting with a new name that I’ve considered going by for awhile.
I’ve been wanting to change my birth name (Cyan) for awhile since I’m tired of my fellow country folks:
- not knowing how to spell my name
- saying it sounds girly and that a boy shouldn’t have it
- thinking I’m lying
I just want something more normative legally wise so when I say it or have to write it down people don’t bat an eye
It’s hard for me to feel attached to the name since it was quite a random not really thoughtful name from what I was told with zero meaning. It will still sort of stick around in spirit as my username will always be Cyadical it’s just such a cool looking username I came up with years ago that I simply can’t get rid of! If you’re curious it’s a combination of cyan and radical! Radical always been one of my favorite words and I think I’m cool personally which is why I used it
The name I’ve been heavily questioning changing my legal name too is Xavier! Here’s some reasons why:
- I’ve always associated myself with the letter X for whatever reason I never figured out why, but looking into the letter more I learnt that it’s kind of like the inverted C with C being the 3rd first letter of the alphabet and X being the 3rd last!
- If I changed my name to this my initials would be XD and I think that’s funny, but outside of the fact it looks like that emoticon, it’s just cool looking initials
- I want a name that ends in er to honor my brother who’s no longer with us since his name ended in er being Hunter
I’ve been trying to get my friends and other folks thoughts on the name Xavier and if they think it fits me which is why I’m putting this here! Plus I thought it was interesting to type out!
[EDITED:] As you probably noticed Xavier is my name now since this blog entry! I'm happy to find a more fitting name for me and my family agrees it fits me
