I just changed few letters around. But now I'm regretting it a bit, Lara is way too easy to mess up with my deadname and few people constantly do it. They just can't change me in their minds? 
My second name I absolutely adore these days. Old one was a masculine version of the same name, they're both medieval names btw.
My second name is Johanna which is super nice, its one of the most common names in Finland, there are 120000 of us here. But I still love it because it shortens into Jossu which is so cute, I've never had such nickname before and this is the name I introduce myself with to people who don't know me from old life. I'm almost tempted to make another change at some point and take Jossu as my official first name.
There's some weird twist of fate with this, both my parents are using a nickname as their first name and that's the name people use to call them. It would feel weird if I used either of their official names, it just doesn't sit right.
