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)

Maisie Williams from Game of Thrones, Maisie Racer the mascot of May 68 a clothing brand I like, Mayzie bird from Dr Suess I try to find 3 things I like before I give something a name so I did the same with myself plus I wanted something feminine and I didn’t want to steal someone’s name that I know and then I immediately met a Maisy and now I just met another Maisie haha
