(this was originally posted on TQ nation and when I say "here" I refer to there)
I have gone through a few names on here and I feel this odd need to explain myself (although I know many other guys on here have gone through the same) So although I don't share my birth name often (I just don't like it) I was born into the name Lesly. I never thought about a different name to identify my male side until I came out to my girlfriend. She liked the name Antonio so I went with it and have been known as Toni for those individuals I am out to...Recently I realized that I just kept that name because it was the one she chose, but never really Identified with it. At that point I changed this and everything with my name to Les. The first three letters of my name, and a pretty androgynous abbreviation. I had also been called that a lot through growing up mainly because people were too lazy to say my name (apparently Lesly is waay to long of a name *sarcasm*) Today it just popped into my head. I like the uniqueness of my name. The "Ly" in the end instead of the many other combinations of letter that the name could end in. Ly (pronounced Lee) its short. It's simple...It's me. It keeps the androgyny i'm looking for and ... I don't know I just feel like I have been matched to this name...and at the same time its been there all along :)
