Have you ever given yourself a new name?
Or maybe a nickname?
How did you choose it?
Does it have any meaning for you?

It wasn't something I had picked, but I was part of an organization that assigned callsigns for sensitive communications.
Mine was "Mercy", likely because of my demeanor as a doctor. I'm still known by it, thanks to the media, but of course my name is Angela so it is nowhere close to being related.
People have called me things like Angie, Ange, Doc— then typical terms of endearment as general nicknames in other languages. They just sort of happen.
Are you looking to find something new to refer to yourself by?
If so, may I ask why?
no subject
Do you ask people to call you "Mercy" here, too? Or do you go by "Angela"?
I got accepted for a job as a performer down in a club in Level 3.
I had a stage name before coming here, but... I'm not so sure about using it. Thinking about changing it.
no subject
I don't expect anyone to call me "Mercy", especially not when I have no need for obscuring my identity or transmissions.
I'm not exactly on any missions here, haha.
My! Congratulations!
Are you going to be singing or dancing? Or something else?
( This is her polite way of asking if she needs it to be saucy or not. )

You can call me "Fish". That's a nickname, too. Something that stuck from when I first started performing back home.
I sing, I dance... and I do all kinds of other things ;)
Someone said I could be a "triple threat", but I don't think that's accurate at all for what I'm capable of.
no subject
It's quite a cute nickname! I like it.
"Triple threat" sounds like a vast underestimation of someone; I wouldn't think it's accurate either.
People are capable of so much more!
Dare I ask about the "other things"?
no subject
Iโm an acrobat!I play instruments, too.
But the best part is that I do everything in drag! I just canโt resist the glamour of it all! And I just love surprising my audience!
no subject
"In drag"...?
Oh, right— in the other gender's clothing, correct? With the wild makeup!
You must be beautiful!
I'd love to see you some time; you'll have to let me know where you end up performing. :)
( Look she's from 2076 the slang has probably changed a bit, but she caught on quick enough!! And English isn't really her first language. )
no subject
Yes, that's exactly what I do, darling!
I will be making my debut next week at Club Tourmaline, so you should come watch!
But before that happens, I have to think about my stage name.
no subject
But you definitely need something flashier than "Fish", you're right!
Hmmm...
I've always appreciated names associated with the stars or historical gods and goddesses, so a few ideas would be things like Ophelia, Venus, Aurora, Cressida... Many of these are moons named after figures from classic literature and plays. Maybe Vega?
It's a start, at least, to find if you like the name of any! Aurora was a Roman goddess of the dawn, for example.
It feels appropriate! They're all quite grand names, which I'm sure you deserve.
no subject
My, all those names are very beautiful. And I'm flattered you think I'm deserving of a grand name! And you haven't even seen me in full regalia much less me in person!no subject
You dressed yourself up quite nicely, even through text. :)
no subject
I'm glad. ;)Well, once I've made my decision, you will certainly be getting an invitation to watch me perform. I'd love to meet you!
no subject
I hope I was able to offer a bit of inspiration!
no subject
You certainly did. I'm definitely thinking about a star-like name now.
