Yeah, I get that with my "Christian name" / baptismal name because while it was given to me, it doesn't feel ME / mine. I am still thinking of a name that feels mine.
With my regular legal name, I grew up feeling so invisible unless I was about to get punished, so I don't like my name either.
T and my partner say it so gently though, and my partner wants to change his legal name which he hates as well.
