Time has come to say

[Inna]

Alexia will no longer be my name :(
Ok don't worry, I won't be called Bruce or something :) It has been on my mind since about 3 years ago when I decided to start my transition, but was never quite ready to own this name truly. My former business corporate name was Alexander Elliot so I have derived Alexia to suit my need at the moment and to have a decent explanation when a package showed up at my business with Alexia on it :0 ( those silly shoe makers misspelled my name :) Since about a week I have come out to everyone I love and care for, I only lost what I never had and even those, whom I miss tremendously, I hope going to come around, in love, back to me. I feel I am beginning to truly embrace the girl in me, by every aspect of living, loving, and happiness. Yes it won't all be fantastic and beautiful but then who cares, I am me finally I am beginning to say;" I AM" beautiful, loving and somewhat different and that difference is INNA. In my native, Polish tongue it means "different" and so it shall be from now on I am Inna :)

Welcome Inna, Is it pronounced In-ah or I-na. I think I like I-na as In-ah sounds to much like innie, though I suppose that is what your going for eventually!:)

I-na is what I know this name as, although in Poland double n is pronounced as separate letters so it doesn't flow as nicely as I-na. Aether pronunciation is OK with me however I prefer INA English pronunciation for its simplicity.
Thanks hon for your welcome, Love Inna:)
