How do you decide on a name?

[There are inquiring minds that want to know.]

[voidbug]

You had to name yourself too?

[astralera]

I did.

I'm Era.

[voidbug]

Oh. Hello. [New friend??? Friend...]

Was it hard to find a name?

[astralera]

I didn't find it hard, but I may have just been lucky to hear a word I liked so quickly.

Plants, animals, colours, minerals, weather, all things of nature, places, objects... There are all different kinds of names. It's okay if you don't find the perfect one for you right away.

[voidbug]

I'm used to not having one, so I don't know where to start.

[It's...surprisingly hard.]

Is it normal to not have one?

[astralera]

In the places I've been to in my world it is not normal, but I'm sure there are places where names are not used.

Would you like a name?

[voidbug]

I think I want one

[astralera]

What things do you like?

[voidbug]

[Uhhh....] I like nice things?

[astralera]

What do you consider to be a nice thing?

[voidbug]

Peaceful things.

[....That still doesn't help SO UH]

I don't mind fighting but it's nice when I don't have to

[astralera]

How would you describe yourself?

[voidbug]

I am small and I am a bug

[astralera]

A cute little bug?

[voidbug]

I don't know?

[MORE CONFUSED]

[astralera]

If you're a bug you must be.

Do you like how 'bug' sounds? It's a fun word.

[voidbug]

Well, there is plenty of other bugs.

[It would be like naming a human "Human". So, very likely not.]

[astralera]

Bugs are cute.

What do other people refer to you as? If you don't have a name, do you have a title?

[voidbug]

[Bugs are cute..???]

Not really. Others used to call me whatever they liked.

There was one other bug that used to call me a ghost though, I think because she knew I was from the void

[And well, probably more reason than just that.]

oops forgot my html there lol

[astralera]

Did you like being called a ghost?

IT'S FINE

[voidbug]

It is strange, but does not bother me.

But I was told I had to find something that I like.

[astralera]

You don't have to do anything. I think finding something you like would be best, but it is up to you.

There is also no rush to find a name. If you're struggling, you can always use a temporary nickname like 'Ghost' while you search.

[voidbug]

[Thinking on it more...she is right.]

Ghost can work for now.

[astralera]

Then until you tell me otherwise, I shall call you Ghost.
