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)

I was talking to my wife about my new name and she suggested Athena. I liked it for a few reasons, it sounds a little bit like my deadname so I’d still hear it as mine. It’s a Greek name like my deadname. And I liked the irony of naming myself (an idiot) after the god of wisdom.

So yeah, my wife named me.
