Is it normal that it takes a while to get used to a name? A while ago I asked my boyfriend to call me Eric for a while and he did, but it always felt weird so eventually I asked him to go back to my birth name. But online the name feels normal and now when I hear it irl I also feel a bit adressed
Has anyone here already gone through a name change and wants to share their experience with me?

@ecori Not quite in a transitioning sense, but I've used my nickname since forever when meeting people IRL who I originally knew through the internet (which is most of my social circles now), and I do recall it taking a while before it started sticking as "one of my names" to the point that I automatically respond to it.
