“Hey are you…(checks list)…Zoning Violation?”

Sorry, Zoning Violation is my brother. I'm xXG4M3R_G0D_420Xx. Easy mistake to make though.

The Violation family is pretty chill. Good ol' Zonia moreso than Moving, but Osha's ironically a real hippie.

See that convinced me that nicknames (or at least gamer handles) belong in the "evil" tier.

I feel like I disagree with some details here:

Lawful Good should be "genderswapped deadname", like Steve->Stephanie. Neutral Good is the Ciscore name (initials for enbies). Made up name is chaotic good. Really-extra but normal name is lawful neutral.

Possibly a stupid question: if I ask my mom what my name would have been if I'd been born the other sex, and then use that, does that count as "keeping your birth name"?

So am I chaotic evil? Username at least.

Does variation on birthname count as true neutral?

Edit: Eh, Who a i kidding? Who doesn't consider Blahåj a deity?

lawful evil. take a guess where from lmao

Sheeeet I am usually chaotic neutral on these charts... lmao I mostly use the neutral/female version of my given name IRL. Ofc Franzia is growing on me, though - name given by a friend.

Tbf, my names are a bit weird to categorize here. I'd probably fit in most categories

Guess I'm chaotic good.

I chose my name because it means "prophet," and psychics kept telling me I had really strong spiritual energy, but the name itself is pretty normal.

Yes, I frequently encounter psychics in my daily life. It just occurred to me how weird that is.

Elohim

Pros:

  • Sounds badass
  • Exotic
  • Gender-neutral (technically plural, but most often used in the same context as the singular they)
  • Originally used as a placeholder name for deities, which I consider trans people to be
  • Judeo-Christians take 2d4 holy damage every time they acknowledge you

Cons:

  • Who cares, you are a god.

I feel like I want to remake this but with the axes being "inscrutability" and "threatening aura", with "gender-swapped deadname" at top left and "possible cause of death" at bottom right.

I did consider Ishtar... Alas, social pressures tamped by evil too much.

It's a made up derivation of an old online username that is pronounced like a noun, but is also after a tertiary character on a relatively niche comedy. As complicated as that sounds, it's a straightforward name. Most people don't need all that info. They just need to know I'm the girl named after a vegetable. It's a very cute name. And the shortened form, which actually came first, seems to be a real name in some non-English-speaking cultures. But really, again, most people just know I'm the vegetable girl.

EDIT: I also occasionally go by Eris for spiritual or ceremonial purposes, but idk if that counts as taking it as a name? It's complicated, tied up in the concept of perpetual invocation, which is itself complicated. Probably not worth the effort to logic out.

I’m cisgender and out of the loop. What is ciscore? Is it like cottagecore cis?

Between lawful evil and neutral evil since mine is both the name of a character I like and a noun. I can multi-task.
