I’m gender fluid and my birth name was Collin. For years I’ve been wanting to change my name. Even before I fully understood I was trans I hated my name and just wanted to change it. So while looking into it I found that Collin is variant of Nicolas, which I actually preferred. So I decided I was going to change it to Nik.

Fast forward a few years and I realize I’m gender fluid. So I decide I’ll go by Nik for masc days, and I thought “Oh Nikki would he prefect then for the days I’m feeling Fem.”

So I’ve had these names in my head for a while. But I hadn’t yet told anyone in my social circle that that’s what I wanted to be called.

This year, in the last few weeks I decide to commit to it. I tell my friends and they go
“Oh…are you calling yourself Nikki because of that new movie Obsession?”
I hadn’t seen it, didn’t know anything about it. I say no. So I watch the movie.

Loved it. But I now realize this was a bad time to call myself Nikki.
