dumb traveler names

Nick names are a special breed... I've been called Texas, Chad, Bean, Casper, and a few other things in Seriousness, not just in a mocking way. I've gone by Sophia for about forever (six years now?). Other people love my legal name, but that's just not who I want to be. I've considered doing a legal name change.

I hate names that you just don't want to say in front of others. "cunt", "fuck". Or hippie names on people who have no chill...

Beat nickname ever was Planet and his dog Dog. RIP

i have this vague memory about how some of the really pc people who want to be referred to by made-up pronouns were the worst about this and would also change their names to ridiculous shit every other month...

Made-up pronouns? Ok, define non-made up pronouns. Last I checked, we made all this shit up so how can you say something else was made up? People in other culture have way more genders than just our limited 2. Gender is a social construct and all this shit's made up. When you bash people's identities you support racism, colonialism, and capitalism.
 
Just had some kids at the house a few weeks ago, Skippy and Spam, with their dog Chicken. Total sweethearts, blew out while I was at work one day.

Most ridiculous traveler name I've heard is definitely Jeff. Maybe Erica.
 
Yeah, my username is definately not something I go by as a name. "The outskirts" is actually this abstract concept that struck me
while reading Baca's "C-Train and Thirteen Mexicans".

I do have a nick name within a particular circle of friends, but that's where it stays, few know it, even less use it.

Common man ya know I can't be all the time buying these books yall recommend.
