I just hated that name as a teenager and thought it sounds stupid. So I just took it as a funny artistic name. Soon everyone started call me Valentine and I loved i. Then I decided to add HNDSM cuz I am handsome and it sounds cool without vowels :^)

like many Latine ppl, my full name consists of a myriad of last names from literally every blood-related family member that has ever graced this planet. although they're beautiful-sounding and i adore them all, they are quite frankly too long to use for username purposes. on top of that, it just doesn't feel right to butcher/frankenstein parts of them just to create a condensed username (perhaps i’ll change my mind on that aspect someday, but for now, i’m pretty steadfast about it).
alas, verygoodvalentina was born... it uses my first name, it's easy to remember, feels like a pseudo-alliteration with the two Vs sandwiching the "good" together and can be said like a sentence, "very good, Valentina!" or as an entity, verygoodvalentina™️ (VGV)

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.

not many people my age are named it which is why i used to hate it as a kid, but i've grown to love it. precisely because it's not "fitting" for my age practically everyone in my life calls me nicknames, which are fun and silly, but are also NOT my name, so it can get tiring sometimes lol. i honestly adore it now and when someone close to me (so professors/academic figures/etc. don't count) uses it i kind of percieve it as a sign of respect, even an act of love. it's intimate, really. i'd love it if people used it more :').

It's unique, and many people may not like it, probably because of the apothecary notes, but I am in love with it. Besides the camphor, which adds those apothecary vibes, it is ambery hot, fruity sweet, and deep. When I wear it I feel like a mystical eastern master of tantric sex lol
