I don’t really plan to use it on legal documents yet (it is a nightmare to legally change my legal name in my country), but it might sound better online and to introduce myself. I would appreciate suggestions uwu.

    Perpetua was a female saint who many consider to have been gay. She is cited as a patros saint of lesbians. She also had a dream about turning in to a man.

    As a saint, its a thematic pair with valetine, but not used as a first name for centuries.

    The name also signals intent to endure and live even in the face of adversity.

      It is absolutely amazing, I didn’t know about her. I wasn’t very sure about Perpetua, like, Valentine Perpetua. But then I started reading and see that her first name was Vibia. Vibia Valentine sounds cool, it might work. I’ll see if it sticks.

      BTW I’m not lesbian, I’m bisexual in a relationship with a cis man. Hopefully I’m not appropriating anything from lesbians, lol.
