Looking back to last night, I was saying some personally semi-revelatory stuff about names and identity and how I didn't have to be the exact same person everywhere and this was not deceitful so long as I didn't try to hide it (and I wouldn't want to). When I was lying in bed going to sleep I was going over possible names and things, trying to think about what ones I had gravitated strongly to in the past for whatever reason, but had eventually been discarded under the "not entirely accurate" kind of reasoning that I am now trying itself to discard. I'm starting to think that the primary criterion is "sounds cool", because that gets you cred everywhere, heh, rather than a "topic-specific" kind of name. Basically I'm trying to think of "what was that cool name you always wanted to have but didn't think you fit, or you thought was too silly?" but nothing is really coming to mind.
