We also take flower names.

It's not any better over here, if too many of us gather we combine into a rosebush against our wills.

I kind of wonder what the worst possible flower to have as a name. I would say begonia. Very pretty flower, not so pretty of a word.

Oh that's a flower originally? To me that was only the codename of the Redmi Note 8 Pro Smartphone until now, lol.

PS: It kind of sounds like something the kids could come up if their favourite app blocks "kys", so good nomination for worst possible

[–] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

the 7 and 8 are all codenamed after plants. Lavender, Violet, Ginko, Begonia, Williow and Biloba.

Half are trees. Most are better names for trans women than Begonia.

I had no idea this could happen, I'll have to keep an eye out!

Lena here, the name Lilith does seem interesting... Lili for short

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 20 points 7 months ago

in my experience transfems names are like the chaotic name cats get
Just waiting for the day I meet someone named 'Used 2014 Toyota Corolla with Slight Dent on Front Passenger Bumper'
or 'Coro' for short

Pretty funny how people can come up with better names when they get to describe themselves and not an unborn meatball.

unironically Coro would be a dope name tho...

Used to be Lydia for a while.

Used to? Didn't like carrying heavy weights and stepping into every trap?

I just looked up the voice actor of the character Lest from Aracane yesterday. She chose Eve, kinda like the opposite of Lilith.

Some people like me call themselves Sam :3

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Such as in The Expanse

(I don't think she was trans but that's what the name reminds me of)

Former friend of mine named herself Dierdre because of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.
