I am pretty resolutely opposed to having children, because a) I can barely be trusted with the care of a cat, much less a human, b) my doctors have advised against childbirth (I could adopt, but see A), c) I'm unlikely to get pregnant given that I'm a lesbian lol, d) I'm old enough that I'd be well into my fifties by the time a child born now was an adult and that doesn't appeal, e) I simply don't much like being around children (less bothered when they're related to me, in fairness, but still, meh).

But I also am resolutely determined about what I would name a daughter in the extremely unlikely event that I somehow had one.

#¯\_(ツ)_/¯#it's helen alexandra incidentally #someday i'll have a character named helen alexandra! but she hasn't materialized properly yet #so there's just an amorphous helen alexandra in my head #i've also thought of anastasia after my great-grandfather (george anastasios) but i prefer alexandra #fictional alexandra has enough of me to use it and refuse to shorten it #but i do want her to be different from me and for an actually interesting story to coalesce around her #but i am very determined about what the daughter i'll never have would be called and it does feel a bit strange #isabel talks #lgbtqia chatter #unsure how to tag this otherwise #c: helen alexandra #?????????
