Ry, not Rachel.

OKAY BECAUSE I AM IN A GOOD MOOD TODAY AND NOT COMPLETELY NEUROTIC, I FEEL LIKE I CAN POST THIS.

DEAREST FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES, BOTH ONLINE AND IRL

please stop calling me rachel.I-IT IS ACTUALLY BEGINNING TO MAKE ME TWITCHY AND HONESTLY UNCOMFORTABLE as I associate "Rachel" (and "Rachia" even moreso) with myself when I was young and stupid

I can understand, pretty much. My first name is Donna but it's the same as my dad's mom. It got very confusing to hear my name called and get a "not you" most of the time. So I asked my mom if I could go by my middle name instead, and have ever since. :Db

I guess I think it sounds totally normal.

I imagine mostly people I work with or am related to who will be reading this on Facebook are going to think I am crazy.

But that's okay.

I guess namechanging, I think, shouldn't sound weird to anyone. The gender thing might surprise some people but if they think you're crazy then they probably have some issues.

I GUESS I JUST VOTE FOR NORMALCY

Well I think more the CHILDHOOD NAME vs ADULTHOOD NAME could sound batshit to some people but idkkkkk i tie up a lot of my identiy in what people call me, and lately I've actually felt PHYSICALLY UNCOMFORTABLE when people, especially online, have called me Rachel. So. WHATEVER \o/

I did the same thing with "Jae".

[robowolf]

AS SOMEONE WHO'S TOTALLY MESSED WITH HER NAME A LOT I totally get this, yes. I actually always think of you as "Rose".

[rhymed]

Despite the aforementioned gendering thing, I am actually completely fine with being called and thought of as Rose! ♥
