Here's to hoping that I didn't already post here before (Too lazy to go double check)
I took Darius because my dad's name is David, and my late grandfather's name is Delmar, so choosing something with a 'D' at the start just felt like the right choice. I surfed baby name sites for weeks, and made lists of the ones that I liked. I had some people use them on me in order and the very first time someone said 'Darius,' I had this lightbulb moment and more or less shouted, "OMG! THAT'S IT!"
As for my middle name, it's Gray now. Darius Gray, how's that for a Gary-Stu name for you? It used to be Aiden, but then I realized how overused it is, so I started thinking, and then I developed a fascination for Matthew Gray Gubler. My mother constantly compares me to him, because we're both extremely quirky, my family swears that we were twins separated by birth because of the way that we act and our mannerisms...and the fact that we don't make sense when we speak - and neither of us wear matching socks. So anyway, I stole it from him, and I decided to spell Gray with an 'A' because my mother's maiden name is Andersen (Which is why I picked Aiden in the first place)
And finally, my last name will be Curry, because that was my first name when I was born. I'm not fond of it, but I am happy to have the same last name as Tim Curry, and besides that, that name was the first thing that anyone gave me. I decided to ditch my last name, because it's the name belonging to the side of the family that more or less disowned me and now constantly mocks me for my transition. I'll be damned if I have their last name on my tomb-stone. Screw that.
...Long answer.
