    Thinking about using the name Rye

    Pros:

    • basically a shortened version of my given name, so easy for people to adapt to
    • would share a name with Rye from Octavia Butler’s Speech Sounds
    • rye is a goated grain imo. Marbled rye slaps

    Cons

    • my ex-step-siblings (god what an awkward phrasing) used to call me Rye Bread as a nickname and I don’t like being reminded of them

    The more I think on it the more that con gets to me. Aghh

      I think Rye is a great name, but if you want a similar name with less baggage maybe Rylee?

        hrm i dunno. maybe riley… I also might just stick with my given name, apparently it’s become increasingly gender neutral in the past couple of decades

        names are hard

          Yea, names are really hard; for me I want to change my name, but I have a lot of good memories associated with my current name so I’m kind of hesitant to do anything about it. 😐😐😐
