    Hey there everyone!

    I was just thinking about names and particularly surnames? However its quite a fascinating topic as to the origin of your trans name! Have you kept the same surname? Or have you gone for complete alternative?

    I think I will revert to my own family surname shortly,but not sure ?

    What do you think??

    I have gone for a very different surname, it took me quite a while to decide on Steel.

    There are two different reasons I picked it, first it surgests strength. So it reminds me that I am not allways as fragile as I sometimes feel.

    Second I used to love Sapphire and Steel when I was very young. Whilst I would love to have been Sapphire, well who wouldnt she was lovely, the fact Steel was the man reminds me of the duality of my nature.
