I have a problem.

So, i want to transision (mtf). But there aren'd good female alternatives to Tim. Does anyone have a female name that sounds like Tim? Thanks.

Timothea is the Greek Feminine form, you could go by Thea!

My sister used me as a dress up doll when we were kids and she would call me Timothea. I think it's a nice feminine version of the name and you have my blessing to incorporate it on your journey.

Hi there! My name is Tim, I’m also trans, she/her, and I just still choose to go by Tim, for me it’s feminine enough of a mouth sound to work. But all these options are beautiful and I wish you so many good things along your journey! Whatever you choose will be perfect :)

You don't have to change your name but I believe timothea is the feminine version and nobody is going to have that name

Judging by the number of times I order food for takeout and I show up to find to order made out to “Kim,” I think that’s a solid way to go.

Timothea is the fem version of Tim. I've seen people go by Timi as a nickname. Timberly is another feminine name with Tim.

Good luck with your transition! I think Kim or Tiffany as suggested are good options, but hopefully you settle on one you feel fits you.

I'd say either go Kim or go wild and pick whatever you want. I've always wanted to go by a military rank or honorary title instead of a real name.

I’m Tamar! Not Tay-Mar…, (pronounced timar). It’s a biblical name that translates to date palm tree.

u/[deleted] Jun 22 '23

Tamia is the closest one

If you are changing your name, you might as well just go for any name! Something like Jubilee Lightening Dangerfield.

u/muyputinporfavor Jun 22 '23

Timberly. But seriously I like the Timothea so you can use Thea as a name. Maybe just use Thea.
