For those who don't know, one way my gender fluidity manifests, is through name fluidity. Depending on how long you've been following me, you've probably seen me change my name at least once. Etymology is so interesting to me, I'm just too indecisive with too many choices to make a permanent one.
The reason i bring this up on this blog, is because I've been eyeing other names lately, and considering the concept of an omnist name. Similar to the idea of a witch name or changing a name with conversion, except I've converted to everything and nothing (a topic for a future musings post).
Let's call it an "altar" name for now, a name I keep at the altar and is only for religious purposes.
I'd use it for this blog, when I'm veiling, at religious places like quaker meeting, prayer, classes, talking to my tarot decks, writing, stuff like that.
I'm sure this happens to other people, thinking about religion feels much different from when I'm thinking about anything else.
For me, that includes my gender, it's something nonbinary that's indescribably different from any other nonbinary flavor I regularly experience.
So if my spirituality unlocks a secret gender when tapped into, perhaps I should give that part of me - maybe it's my higher self, whatever else - it's own name, y'know?
Do any other religious trans/nonbinary/genderfluid people relate? Have their own 'altar' name?
I'm not sure I'm happy with calling it an altar name either, we'll see. I don't want to call it an omnist name, it's not an exclusively omnist concept.
Surely there already is a name for this kind of name? Let me know. Or if I've explained all this terribly.
