Seeing as every time I think of the guy I lived with Sophomore year, the name Jason doesn’t work for me as a masc name anymore, but it’s also the only one that clicks. So I figured something similar sounding might help, and my mom told me way back that when she was planning baby names for me, she thought if I was going to be a boy she would have named me either Oliver or Justice. And I really like that- Justice. It’s just…is that too flashy? Too flamboyant? I mean, my brother’s name us literally Courage, but I feel like I’m so femme looking that if I pick a masculine name that’s off the beaten track like that, people will accuse me of looking for attention or call me a fraud or…I dunno. Like, I have zero confidence in myself and my gender identity anyway, so I’d just crumble…..
Name stuff
