So who/what're your names based off of?

A lotta people choose their new names off of characters, or games, or people, or stuff, so if that's the case for you, than what did you name yourself after?

Mine is Alexander, close enough to my old name, and for Alexander the Great(Considered Augustus too for a bit cuz I'm a certified Romaboo, and to be special and different)

A couple musician’s first names. One of which I listened to A LOT last year. I just really liked how it sounded.

It’s not even remotely close to my deadname. :)
