Can you help me tryout a name? I’m Vibia Valentine, She/They. Thanks.
That name sounds like a stage name. You might want to consider something with a little less illiteration. And maybe I’m out of touch but a more typical first name maybe? “Vibia” sounds like a name that would have gotten made fun of in school when I was a kid. A lot. I tend to view names through that lens; even though I was bullied for other reasons. So while obviously you’re not a kid in school, if you think about the life trajectory of somebody with a more unorthodox name, it might not be the best choice for you.
Ultimately though, it’s your life, do what you want. My opinion is just my opinion and my suggestion is only that; a suggestion from some random guy on the internet.
I dont have a problem with it sounding like artistic or a stage name. In fact would be amazing to sign the things I write with that name. So it can be my chosen and artistic name.
And im 25 so lucky for me cant be bullied in school lol.
And typical names are boring. Good luck im not having kids so I dont get to name them.
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.
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! :)
How you doin V2?
(That’s how I’d use it typing unless requested otherwise… Plus I kind of like it)
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.
