There's a badass maths lady I met on Tumblr who named herself Tesseract. She definitely won at names.
- I'm in awe at this one honestly, "Tess" and "Tessa" are great nicknames and then you can drop the "it's short for Tesseract" and blow minds. Absolutely fantastic name.
- It's all fun and games until Thanos uses you as blingbling
  
  I'm not sure what this means.

So many called Alex because it goes for men or women
- Alex would be a great genderfluid name. Use Alex as default, then when you're a woman you could be Alexandra and Alexander when you're a man.

Name yourself after a Rowdyruff Boy because honestly, Brick, Boomer and Butch are the perfect fucking names. No notes.

Ok so should I criticize my trans friend for forgetting to change her last name from -ski suffix to -skaya suffix when doing the legal name change to remove deadname?
- I think this depends on context. I live in Sweden, so a non-slavic country, and I have known multiple women with -ski suffixes. Some from marriages or being born in Sweden and just getting ski automatically, but I had a teacher from Poland who has the masculine ending.
  So I think if you're in a country where last names are typically gendered, then sure, it can help to have a last name that is congruent with your identity. If you're in a country where that is not the norm, I think it's fine either way.
  In any case, it's her name and her choice.
