For some reason I enjoy intentionally mangling people's names to make them sound silly. If I were to use my name as an example, I'd probably turn it into "modsy" or "mobsy". Haven't run into anyone yet who's told me to cut it out, so it's kinda turned into a game to see how hard I can mangle a name and still be understandable.

Edit: mosdy, mosby, mobdsy, moldy, moffy, mothy, mawshy, etc

Same. I love coming up with those nicknames, often specifically to annoy the person. I haven't done it recently, but that might just be because I haven't gotten close enough with new people in a long time 😕

"He's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes" has been one of my life philosophies.

Unless you're a dick, then everyone else is a dude, but that dude? That dudes a cockmongler.

Actually super interesting how close our chosen names are! I like it!

From something well known? Or were you joking and referring to yourself as the 'historical queer character'? Just wondering because my search turned up nothing.

Ha, the joke's on you. My deadname was not only hateful, but also prone to misspelling, so I made sure I chose a name that isn't misspelled, nor mis-pronounced easily.
