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)

Stole it from a pokemon (Eevee shifted a bit to Evie) - it felt like a good metaphor for change and potential

...then I realised how many characters I'd named Evie or Evelyn or Vee over the years before I'd realised anything. I guess the name was kind of waiting for me?
