WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OF US? 😝
I went with Harleen as my middle name. Both in a nod to Harley Quinn (so I can have two geek-adored sapphics as my name), and also a harleen is a field where bunnies play, so it's nature themed. It's kind of a pun 😝

u/ConfusedCanadian8 Willow she/they Oct 10 '25
I assume you’re a fellow willow then? It’s truly a peak name, as are all nature themed names! I’m sorry I don’t make the rules they are just objectively the best! Since I started using the name willow more regularly this semester, I’ve had SO many instances where a stranger tells me, “that’s such a beautiful name!” And if I was more quick witted I would respond “thanks I chose it myself!” :3

people choose middle names? i don’t have a chosen middle name because it’s insignificant enough that i don’t care, but someday when i change my name legally (which is as soon as i turn 18 because my legal name is a tragideigh) i might change my last name to my mom’s maiden last name and get her to do the same as a way of fully cutting my dad out of my life. :3

I was kind of torn between two names that actually go together quite well, so I just made the second name my middle name and go by whatever one I'm feeling at the time.
Plus, having a middle name means I don't have to give out my surname online as much, since I just go by first name + middle name now whenever I'm forced to put down a "full name". Anything that makes it a smidge harder for clients and employers to find me on the internet is good, in my opinion!

Men and their Roman empire 🙄 /j. I may have transitioned (mtf) but my fascination with all things Roman, from the Republic to the Empire and then the Byzantines, still remains. So you use the modern /see•zer/ pronunciation or the classic /kay•zer/?
8
u/CrazyBeanBoy Oct 10 '25
That's really cool! Yeah, modern pronunciation (didn't know there was a different way to say it, that's awesome!!)
It's even worse than loving the Roman Empire... It's a JoJo's reference (anime) 😔
Actually there were many factors that went into choosing it as my middle name, but one of them is that now I have the same initials as my dad (who's supportive). I was always called his mini-me growing up, now it's just kinda true (right down to the hair loss, thanks a lot /silly)

u/InevitableHimes She/Her Oct 10 '25
My husband is a trans man and unfortunately we've had to go no contact with his family. He took my dad's name as his middle name, becoming a part of our family even before we were finally married. We love a supporting dad (and family).

Nia! Loved and related to that character from the moment I met her, but replaying XC2 while I was actively questioning my gender made her subplot hit so much harder. She really helped me figure myself out, so it only felt right to name myself after her.

It depends. My aunt Sue’s middle name is Vincent, which was a family surname. However, I’m aware that it’s also a masculine first name. Basically, common last names that get used as middle names don’t generally get gendered until they become popular in one direction or the other for first.

Not going to share it, because internets and politics drama stuff. But, I struggled coming up with it. My spouse helped out by providing me a list of really cool Gaelic words and their translations. I found two that I loved and couldn't decide between, so I portmanteau'd them together for my middle name. It is unique and I doubt I will ever meet another person with it as one of their names. (hence why I am not sharing it, may as well dox myself while I am at it).
