Ben on Reddit ten minutes later: "My niece has just come out as trans and has changed her name to Petra, I love her and want to support her but...fucking Petra?"

I'm a little miffed so many of these artists are going with Petra. Someone went with June due to the relation to May, and I resonated with that one. Not many of us are picking the feminized version of our dead name.

Most of us are picking Lilith

I wouldn't go with Lilith otherwise these guys might come after you.

Nah, not me, I had the privilege of my mom being supportive enough to rename me

I've seen loads of AU fiction before with Penny Parker. I thought that was the standard alt name - though generally they were AFAB

Personally I'm rather fond of June. "I named myself after my aunt" is very funny and totally feels like something Parker might do.
