So puppy's nickname is still Cookie. Most everybody online still calls her Skoon or puppy which is fine! :3 This is about her real name change!
Puppy has mixed news about her name change. On one paw, it was successful, and it was extremely thrilling and validating to go through with. <3
On the other paw... puppy realized after the fact that she picked her first name more for the sake of other people and not really for herself... not gonna lie, the regret has been stinging. Her first name is a gender-neutral version of her dead name. Puppy strongly regrets not fully embracing the name she really wanted, but she is a cowardly push-over who keeps ruining herself for the opinions of people who don't care. It's a vicious cycle from decades of mental and emotional abuse. YEY! To make matters worse, despite being unisex people still associate her first name with men more often, and overall puppy is just wracked with self loathing over picking it.
ANYWAY, puppy's new middle name, is the name she truly wanted to be her first name. Carol. :3
It was my grandmother's name. As much as most of my blood family was and is awful and puppy doesn't associate with them anymore, grandma Carol she loved dearly. The name is extremely comforting to me, and with my Christmas colored eyes and snowy mane, the name Carol just feels right anyway. kehe
In the future, puppy may go through the name change process a second time to rectify her mistake. Really get these god damn family shackles off of me, emotionally, and ACTUALLY make decisions JUST FOR MYSELF for once. But until then- middle name it is. uwu

Carol it is!
You give me a lot of hope for your age group, and make me fondly remember the furries I met and befriended when I first joined the fandom at the very knuckle of the millennium.
Jeez fuck don't die. That's getting tiresome.
There's a good chance I'll be around for a while yet, if the fates continue to favor me. No one can predict that though. As Yogi Berra said, βIt's hard to make predictions, especially about the futureβ.
And feel free to call me sikfox, if you remember. β‘
Teasing, Pups. π BUT! I'm glad you've been able to make even THAT step! I haven't been able to change my own name yet due to monetary reasons. π«€
Puppy has red and green eyes.
A snowy mane.
Her legal first name is now Chris... JUST Chris. (As in Christine, which is what I shoulda gone with)
Chris Carol. Puppy's name is legally
Christmas Carol
But oh man, is that funny. π However...
*gently holds the puppy's face* YOU. Better. Fix. Dat. Name! *fluffs the floof* Goof! ππ
Chrissy Carol? π?
