    My birth name is interesting, because it means "Like God".

    When you tack on my middle and last name, you get "Hope" and "Divine".

    Now you see why I have an ego, LOL.

    Justine means "Just, righteous, and fair". I'm fine with that.

    Cyrus is Persian for "Sun". I have blond hair and don't burn(I actually tan), so I think it's rather fitting.

    Elsa has apparently different meanings, but according to one site it means "Truth" in Swedish so I'm gonna go by that definition.

    The standard meaning for my name is "seducer of men", but my parents took it out of a Christian name book which said the meaning was "helper of God".

    Cassandra was a Trojan woman that Apollo fell in love with. He gave her the gift of prophacy but when she friendzoned him, cursed her so that no one would believe her. She's the one that warned the Trojans about the Horse.

    EXTREMES in fortune, health and spirituality. You are very versatile, idealistic and intuitive. You either enjoy great success or suffer abject misery. The solution is service to others. Use your leadership abilities for humanity and not for self-glorification. You are bold, independent, inquisitive and interested in research. You know what you want and why you want it.
    You are seeking freedom, opportunities to enjoy life: to make love, to go places and to do things. You are very adventurous and willing to take risk to achieve your objectives. New ways and new experiences can't satisfy your restless nature. One adventure leads you to another. You are honest and fair, because you know that this is the only way to receive justice and honesty from other people. But your personal growth is vital for your, and it is difficult to be tied down by rules and obligations. Your restless spirit might best controlled by choosing the field of work that meet your demand for action and adventure.

    My birth name, Sidney, means either wide meadow or contraction Of St. Denys. I think Denys was a saint whose head/scalp got chopped off and he walked around holding his head/scalp quoting the bible or something like that. And my middle name ,Arthur, means noble, courageous.

    The name i plan on legally changing to is Audrey, which means both noble and full of strength. Don't know about me being either noble or strong, but it's what my mother would have named me had i been born biologically female(also i like it). And i'm going to change my middle name to Jae, which doesn't have any meaning to anyone besides me.

    However, even though i'm going to, I feel conflicted about changing my name as I was named by someone very important to my mother, he passed away when I was young so I don't remember him but I hear he was a cool dude.
