all for the game backlog post: transfem kevin day thoughts

orignally posted on tumblr here on Nov 9th, 2025

i think transfem kevin would ask wymack to help her decide on a new name

she wouldve wanted kayleighs input first and foremost but since her mom is dead, she asks her dad to help instead

i have no idea what the name would be but i feel like shed be inspired by historical figures and would consider names of some of her favorites to name herself after

i also put some thoughts in the tags on other posts i reblogged here, here, and here

reblog 1:

#and for aftg idk a name change for her but kevin day #i need to figure out what shed name herself because i think shed put a LOT of thought into it and itd have so much meaning #in like a nerdy but subtle way #it goes over everyones heads and she always gets hype when she gets to explain because it means she gets to infodumo about its history #*infodump #ms day you adorable nerd #never change #also just to be clear shes still the best striker in the game and queen of exy #shes just living her best life now too #i think shed either name herself after a historical figure or a comic book character. or both if theres overlap i dont know about #because i also hc shes a comic book nerd and its canon she loves history #anyway sorry for rambling i just love her a lot

reblog 2:

#i think ive reblogged this before with the same answers but #lara english #(jake english for people who live under a rock and dont know this incredibly common headcanon) #and kevin day who i dont have a post-transition name for yet #id say she could just be someone who keeps her name when she transitions but i think shed be the type to think you HAVE to change your name #no matter how much it hurts her to give up the name her mother chose for her #shed also ask wymack to help name her because if she cant get her mothers input she can at least have her dads #its the one thing where she genuinely cares about another persons opinion #shed come up with the options and then have wymack narrow it down

and reblog 3:

#not sure if youre looking for a specific fandom but if not #kevin day #from all for the game #i dont have a transition name for her yet but im brainstorming #i need to look up which historical women i think shed like the most bc shes a history nerd #some people think shed just take her mothers name but i think shed put more thought into it than that #shed jump at the chance to name herself something nerdy #also i think shed choose a bunch and ask wymack (her dad) for his input #since he never had a say in her childhood because he didnt know he was her dad #like almost as an apology for not telling him she found out sooner #she wouldnt come out or medically transition until she retires though #it could affect her career as an athlete and shes NOT taking chances with that #and i think it would be a little difficult getting some of the people in her life to accept her but theyd get there eventually #i need to write a fic for this at some point but aeugh i have so many fics already and i dont even have a name for her yet
