99% chance they were going with Ender, but there's that 1% chance they were going with Pigman and that's what I'll choose to believe
- There's also Allay, Wither, and Ghast
  
  blaze mayb
  
  Also Vex, Blaze, Sniffer, Hoglin, Zoglin
  
  locking in my answer on allay. that's 1000% it
  
  everyone out here ignoring strider
- Turns out they were going to go with "Steve".
  
  CHICKEN JOCKEEYYY
  
  that's not even a mob that's just a real human name...
- creeper
  
  Aw, man
- Good chance for Blaze
  
  I'd we had more trans people in the 90s most trans men would be named Blaze
- Prismarine would be sick, or Blaze.
- 1% chance they were going with Pigman
  It's simon, so maybe...
I misread that as Starcraft and was imagining "I go by 'Overmind, The Eternal Will Of The Swarm' now"
- I also read StarCraft and was trying to think of what names they could have picked
  
  Kid named zergling: :(
  Edit: unironically though, Archon is a kinda cool name
  
  It would probably be something crazy like “Sarah” or “Jim”.
  
  The cerebrate names were pretty cool
Kid named Zombified Piglin:
There's a badass maths lady I met on Tumblr who named herself Tesseract. She definitely won at names.
- I'm in awe at this one honestly, "Tess" and "Tessa" are great nicknames and then you can drop the "it's short for Tesseract" and blow minds. Absolutely fantastic name.
- It's all fun and games until Thanos uses you as blingbling
  
  I'm not sure what this means.
Kid named fucking Mildred:
- The man-eater?
- Why'd someone name themselves or name their kid "Fucking Mildred"?
  
  It's a reference to this post
So many called Alex because it goes for men or women
- Alex would be a great genderfluid name. Use Alex as default, then when you're a woman you could be Alexandra and Alexander when you're a man.
Name yourself after a Rowdyruff Boy because honestly, Brick, Boomer and Butch are the perfect fucking names. No notes.
There's a Minecraft mob called Luna?
- this one
I feel like Allay would be a nice name
Ok so should I criticize my trans friend for forgetting to change her last name from -ski suffix to -skaya suffix when doing the legal name change to remove deadname?
- I think this depends on context. I live in Sweden, so a non-slavic country, and I have known multiple women with -ski suffixes. Some from marriages or being born in Sweden and just getting ski automatically, but I had a teacher from Poland who has the masculine ending.
  So I think if you're in a country where last names are typically gendered, then sure, it can help to have a last name that is congruent with your identity. If you're in a country where that is not the norm, I think it's fine either way.
  In any case, it's her name and her choice.
