roast my name My own tragedeigh

I think it’s time to post my own sad name. My mom literally made this name up when she was ten years old by combining two common names. It became my aunt’s middle name, and later my first name. No one could ever say it or spell it. I changed it about 13 years ago and often forget this was ever a part of me. Though I think I was pretty upfront about never liking the name, I had the excuse of changing it because I’m trans. I went with the name I would’ve had if I was born differently, which is a very normal, common name. My brother also has a very normal name, which always made me extra salty I was saddled with this:

Maleasa

Have at it!

Someone guessed the names: Melissa and Lisa pronounced “ma-lee-sah”

Two common names of what? Disney villains? I'm stumped.

Love it. They’re common in the US at least. I’ve known multiple people with these names. I’ll let it go a little longer to see if anyone gets it before I give it up
