every single American I've told where I live (Switzerland), without fail, have asked me if I live in Sweden, or if I speak Swedish, or they just straight up don't think its a real country??
It's Aleksander :] I am transgender so i changed my name (a few times actually). At the start I had some "rules" to choose a name:
1. It should be italian (i am italian, i didn't want to stand out)
2. It should be long and have nicknames (i like nicknames)
3. It shouldn't be religious (i am an atheist and i didn't like to have a name associated with god)
4. It should have a cool meaning (i like names' etymology)
In the end i chose Stefano, but it didn't feel like me at all.
I always liked Alessandro as a name, but i felt like i knew too many people with that name (like.... 5), so i looked up the variations and Aleksander stand out. Aleksander means "defender of men", and i like to add "in a gay way" for fun. I also chose Hermes as a second "unofficial" name, so i ended up disregarding like almost half of the rules. lmao.
If you have an ipad (and possibly apple pencil): Paper (Freemium), Procreate, which is paid (and similar, like ibis paint, which is freemium), Goodnotes, freemium (and similar, like freenotes or notes+, which should be both free)
Apple devices: Freeform (free), Ibis Paint
Any device: Canva (freemium), shuffle by pinterest (i never tried it but i think it works, not paid but i'm not sure if it's freemium or free) and i think 17v28 too (i think freemium)
