Kaminari Tsuchiya chose her name once she was asked to create a stage name/handle for herself during her career. She was born in Bakersfield, [name_m]California[/name_m], in 1989 to a purely Japanese mother and an [name_m]Irish[/name_m] father. Her birth name was [name_f]Ciara[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] O’Malley, but due to her resentment towards her father growing up, she chose to emulate her Japanese heritage in her name by using a more gender-neutral Japanese forename and taking her by then deceased mother’s surname, Tsuchiya. Nowadays, she utterly hates whenever someone reminds her of her birth name or calls her by it, exclusively wanting to be referred to as “Kaminari” or any diminutive, such as “Nari” or “Nari-Chan”.

[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Jan[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m] likes his middle name because it’s his grandfather’s first name.
[name_m]Hartley[/name_m] [name_m]Pendleton[/name_m] [name_m]David[/name_m] doesn’t like his middle name because he thinks it sounds ridiculous. He used to wish he had a “normal” one like his brother [name_m]Fenway[/name_m] [name_m]Nolan[/name_m], but he’s okay with it now.
[name_m]Anastasio[/name_m] [name_m]Lysander[/name_m] [name_m]Thorpe[/name_m] likes his initials, ALT. He doesn’t love how long his name is and usually goes by [name_f]Ana[/name_f].
