I put much more thought into my middle name than my first (still very little thought tho), but I still frequently just. Forget that my middle name exists. Despite having chosen it.
#so my first and middle names are austyn jace#for austyn i legit just went through a baby name site and read masculine names until i vibed with one#cuz when i chose ny name i thought i was a trans man#i chose austin. then as i discovered im nonbinary i changed it to austyn#its the feminine spelling of a masculine name so its kind of in the middle#but truly i just chose austi/yn because i vibed with it. like macimum 15 minutes of thought went into it#for jace i wanted a middle name that started with j so i could go by aj if i wanted#i considered james and liked that but there was a kid at school named james and he was a dick#jace has a similar sound and vibe to it so i chose jace#thats one i chose from my brain instead of the internet. and for a specific reason#sometimes i wish i had put more thought into my first name because it doesnt have any special meaning and isnt super unique#but irs mine. for awhile now ive been considering going by jace because its more of the nb vibe that i like#but recently one of my friends changed her name to jase (pronounced the same) so i simply cant change it to that now lol#ive been austyn for so long i wouldnt want to chsnge it. i love it#but occasionally i do regret not putting a little bit more thought into it#and i frequently forget my middle name tbh#'whats your middle name?' 'um.... jace!'#sometimes i switch back to my old middle name#whoch i dont hate. its lynn#but its a family middle name belonging to my mom and her mom and probably moms before her#and my mom was super transphobic when i came out so i got rid of that name super quick. killed that family name#if she hadnt been such a bitch i probs wouldve kept it#truly adds to the androgyny of the name#but i wanted to cut my connections so the family name died with me#austyn lynn is pretty tho#the y in both the names vibes together really nicely
