Langxi (朗希) meaning bright hope.
This name has been created and given to me by my Chinese IRL, who has helped me with personal issues.

In the process, they have researched his own culture (naming customs, even what their own name means and relating it to his life, homophones) intensively. I am no way of appropriating culture. In fact my friend became more connected to their culture in this process.

I have been practicing writing my name! I know the stroke order and everything.

Boundaries regarding this name:
Naming things or yourself after me because you admire me is fine (Though I'd prefer to be told beforehand). All I ask is to not steal this name. By stealing, I mean stalking and taking parts of my identity with malicious intentions. Don't do anything bad or ILLEGAL under my name too... I don't want to be confused as a criminal for sharing a name.

Again, this name is tied to a friendship that I highly value. Please have basic respect towards it, my friend who crafted and gave me it, and my boundaries!


The Rentry Community is so extremely weird towards my name and boundaries surrounding it >_>; Please humanize me and realize that this is not only an "online" thing. My Chinese IRL made and gave it to me. They checked with another Chinese person we know IRL before finalizing it. My other IRLs like my boyfriend and his family all call me "Langxi". I plan on changing my legal name to Langxi in the Summer.
