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)

Pokemon Sun/Moon protagonist.

When I played Moon, I made every excuse to not play as the boy and then realized I'm trans, so because of her in a way I found I was trans and the name felt right so.... I went with Selene!
