Names

Here are some names I commonly use(d):

• Asherah Connor (Ashe)
  • This is my legal name in Australia from 2017, and in Estonia from 2024. If we are concluding a contract, this is the one I’ll use.
• Talya, Talia, Lia, Lía
• Amelia Cuss
  • This was my Estonian legal name until 2024.
• Charlotte (Lotte)
  • I write my own lab notebook at lottia.net!
• Yuki, Nicole
• Anneli
  • I used this for a short time after starting transition. It was the name I would’ve been given had I been assigned female at birth.
• Arlen
  • This was my birth name. You’ll see it in old posts, copyrights on old projects, etc.

I don’t repudiate any of these names.

I feel pretty self-conscious about how often “I” feel compelled to use different names for “myself”, but I don’t have the energy to care or understand better right now.
