I always loved the name Alexander.  My middle name, Matthew, just suddenly popped into my head one day at my old job.  My brain just suddenly screamed ALEXANDER MATTHEW.

Crazy!  I'm Alexander, and depending on how my parents take it I might go with Matthew as one of my middle names because that's what they would have called me if I'd been born correctly.

I chose Alexander because I always wanted a name that could be shortened and began with 'A' after having a name that began with 'Z' for so long, sort a beginning and ending thing, a fresh start.  I originally started going by Adam, but the name Alex kept bugging at me, and I ended up choosing that instead after a year or so, and it was definitely the right decision, Alex had been a name I'd wanted people to call me when I was twelve, but it never stuck.  After choosing Luke as a middle name I realised months later that it was a name I'd pretended was my middle name when I was primary school as well, which is a funny connection.  I just liked it as a middle name at the time.

I was determined to keeping my initials, so I glanced at a list of names starting with that letter and picked the one i liked the sound of the best.

It's close to my birth name (but not the male equivalent which I actually included in my middle name). I think I have always liked the name. It keeps the same initials, which was important to me.

I chose the name Alec Benjamin, but my mom prefers the name Alex because it's neutral and she's still having a hard time accepting me. She still wont use either, she said she would for a while but then I tried to commit suicide again and she stopped using it and only just agreed to stop calling me girl, so I'm to scared to push it. So all in all i don't know which my name is going to be, I want it to be Alec, but if I have to choose between my mom calling me Alex or my birth name i'll got with Alex easily.

I came up with Brandon because my mom was gonna name me that If I had been born biologically male, My middle name would be Deshun, I just took my Dads middle name so all together its Brandon Deshun Davis

That is a cool name!

Thanks!

I wanted to keep my initials at first and stay close to my birth name which is Valerie but if you've looked at the list of male V names there aren't much to choose from and none seemed to fit. So then I just randomly picked a name that I always liked which was Felix. But that didn't seem to fit, I just wasn't a Felix. I also wanted something a bit more androgynous. So I finally chose Jace. I remember reading some book with that name and I just really liked it and it really suited me.

I still don't have a middle name. Maybe I'll go with my great-uncles name's Otto or my other great-uncle Bernhardt. Or maybe Valiant so I can sneak that V in there.
