hey can everyone do me a favor and put in the tags why they chose their name? even if you don't go by a chosen name irl, you can put why you chose your online name.
#my internet name is my initials plus it's shared by two characters from media that meant a lot to me when I first started using it#(firefly and inception. perhaps i am cringe but i am free. also i was a teenager so whatever)#i was also kind of going through it re gender and liked that it was gender neutral and could be short for malcolm if I went that route#i also kind of chose my irl name in that it's my middle name and i chose to start using it instead of my first name at 13#for extremely 13 year-old reasons but im 30 now so clearly it stuck. my first name doesn't feel like my name at all.
