Can you help me tryout a name? I’m Vibia Valentine, She/They. Thanks.

    I thought Vibia Valentine was breaking the rules with their post here, but apparently there’s no “this is a meme sub for memes” rule here, so she’s not going to make the mods sad or anything.

    Edit: ooh, found it. Rule 6. (Oops, spoke too soon.)

    Btw, Vibia, do you think you can add a transcription as alt text to your image? (If it lets you edit it in.)

    Vibia? That’s a pretty name. Does it come from somewhere special or do you just like the sound of it?

      It is the first name of Vibia Perpetua, a pre catholic saint and martyr who is one of the “They were Roommates” historical figures. https://amedievalwomanscompanion.com/perpetua/

      She is considered a saint of the sapphics and trans people, because she saw herself as a man in a dream.

      BTW I’m not religious at all, it sounds great, starts with a V and the story is cool.

        Your name is so cool Vibia! I love the backstory, makes it even cooler. Btw do you prefer to be referred to by both your names or is Valentine your middle name?

          Valentine is like my main thing, you know? My dead name is a hispanization of Valentine or Valentinus. I’m really attached to it. I’m still not sure if I want Valentine as a middle or Last Name. If I get some other Lastname, maybe it would be Lovelace. Or if I marry my BF (In my country we can’t get married, so that most be done in another country), I would get his last name.

          So, in short, I like how Vibia sounds with Valentine and the story is cool, and I like having it as a first name.

    Hey Vibia, you have a pretty name (tho autocorrect thinks it’s Bianca or Vivian). FYI, if you have another name to try out, [email protected] could be a good place for that. There’s sadly no !trans_tryouts yet.

    How you doin V2?

    (That’s how I’d use it typing unless requested otherwise… Plus I kind of like it)

    I really like the first name! It’s cute, it intuitively feels like a name while still being unorthodox and eye-catching, plus it reads Hispanic to me.

    I will admit I kinda agree with another commenter that the alliteration gives off stage name vibes (Vibia Valentine would be a pretty good drag name), but if you vibe with that, you do you, Vibia! :)

    I read through it fast and thought I read

    Vaseline Valentine

    Okay, I’m pulling a dumb, is it pronounced vib-ia or vibe-ia? Either way, solid name

    TBH, it makes me think of the word “labia” but I’m probably in the minority on that. It’s a perfectly fine name otherwise.

      Maybe I’m broken too, but that’s what my brain read at first and was super confused.

      That said if you like the name, you should go for it. Do what makes you happy and feel right.

      You aren’t alone… vibrator labia vibes for sure.

      One the one hand, I don’t care, pick a name you like. On the other hand, be aware.
