when i was singing uh what about you well for me it was i same thing like nobody had heard it except if they had heard it the the thing that i would hear every single time i said my name was that's a boy's name you know every time i talked to any child also like like even adults would say other kids would say they'd just be like billy's a boy's name but isn't billy a boy's i mean you know kids are like little assholes so they're gonna be like that's a boy you know
And that really pissed me off also because I was like, I really wanted to be everything girly as a kid.
Like as a kid, I loved, you know, all the things a little girl loves.
I loved my princess things and my pink things and whatever.
And so Billy just didn't make sense.
But in hindsight, I mean, first of all, I love my name.
And I wonder how you feel about your name now.
I wanted to be named Sparkle.
But more realistically... Hey, me too.
More realistically, I wanted to be named Violet really bad.
I really wanted to be named Violet.
I wanted to be named Lavender.
