       After 14 years of having a name no one else had, it's a little weird having a first name I share with tons of (awesome) people.I keep seeing replies to an @ alice and going "oh, do they mean me?"Nope, some other cutie. K.

       @foone It'd be appropriate for you to migrate to an @ alice and join a cadre of beloved chaos gremlin cuties sharing the name.

       @silvermoon82 definitely going to happen. I'm just doing a slow-rollout of the name so that everyone doesn't go "WAIT WHO THE FUCK IS THIS GIRL" and unfollows me

       @foone In this way, we are opposites (I had the most popular girls' name the year I was born).

       @BathysphereHat looking up that kind of information is exactly how I chose the name Alice!

       @fooneIf it's OK to ask, what was the reason you changed it?

       @foone it's the same if you were born with a very common name, which is why so many people go by unrelated nicknames

       @ddlyh got hit with the identity bus. My gender & orientation (and at least two more things) changed along with it.

       @foone I chose my new name on a vibes basis, and went from a top 10 name to a top 5 name, which I will be deploying here soon-ish

       like, I know this this is a common occurrence for most everybody. If you're named John you've probably worked on a team with at least two other Johns.But I spent over a decade as a name I never had to share, so I'm out of practice. Prior to this month, the last time I met someone who shared my first name was 1998.

       @foone company I worked for years ago sat every single one of the Matts on the same block of desks and this tripled the disruption of every "hey Matt, got a moment" until the next seating plan reshuffle.

       @foone I'm a guy named Kim. Not super common. A lot of people tell me it's a girl's name. My last job I ended up working with two other Kims. Both guys

       @foone my username was born of this (petty) frustration I experienced when choosing a game name. 😂 I was so used to being the only one!

       @foone I thought you had previously identified as trans, but maybe I misremember.I hope you’re at least as happy as I was to switch pronouns. I did it at Tipsy Tails (nĂ©e Chicken) by physically switching consent badges the day after I experienced I Saw The TV Glow.

       @ZiggyTheHamster I did! But my gender changed, from "non-binary" to "female". And very cool, congrats on your pronoun-switching!

       @foone within normies, my name is uncommon
 but I know at least 3 other furries named Ziggy. To my knowledge, I’m the only one legally named Ziggy.It’s a bit weird switching from the “only one of you exist” universe to “wait they’re talking about the Ziggy that’s on an Antarctic cruise right now, not you” universe.

       @foone @otter I’m up to 2x2mg + 2x50mg spiro, and it’s almost perfect. I’ve thought about adding progesterone but am not entirely confident about it

       @foone I've only ever met about four other Hugos in my life. The last one was my last company's solicitor. This led (on a couple of occasions) to me getting sent commercially sensitive materials by top management, because autocomplete.
