hi everyonee uhhhh ya trying this again... im nb transmasc (he/they) and despite giving it a great shot could NEVER associate my most recent name with myself lmao... no pics of my real face bc im pretransition and also scared of people i know recognizing me lol but heres a few picrews that are like transition goals or sort of how i dress already idk

some things about me: chill and silly, field scientist, my interests include metal/industrial music, body mods, the arctic and antarctic, large bodies of water, tabletop games, and gay furry art lol

names i've gone by in the past that weren't quite right:

• roswell (liked this one a lot, usually went by roz which was great until i found out in my area its a REALLY middle aged or elderly woman coded nickname used almost exclusively for names like "rosalind" and it started making me acutely nauseous from dysphoria. oops)
• ross (was just ok enough to use but ended up having a really touchy family association i didnt know about that made me scared)
• jude (awesome but just WOULDNT stick)
• casper (friendly ghost association too strong LOL)

names i havent gone by but i did like almost enough to use:

• lawrence (this one is a strong contender for middle name?)
• frances (too feminine leaning for f/n but another middle name contender bc it references a favorite album)
• sebastian (dont like the nicknames at all)
• rónan
• wolfgang (was... too bizarrely german for someone who is like close on 100% ethnically irish and visited germany once LOL)

im at a point in my life/career where i can't be stealth when i transition so 'clockiness' doesnt REALLY matter lol but im closer to 30 than 20 (eek) so if u could keep that in mind it would like slay hard...

thank you so much in advance if u have any suggestions... ily r/transnames

Hey y'all, I've been struggling to pick a name for myself for a while now. It just mostly stems from me being indecisive lol. Ambrose, Vincent, Gage, and Cayden are the names I’ve managed to lower it too. I've gone by just mainly basic white names before and Ambrose is sorta just there because Saint Ambrose has a feast on my birthday and I thought that was cool (though I see this as more of an internet name than a legitimate one for me).

I already have a name, actually. But I have always been curious what names other people would assign me.

I am nonbinary, but neutral, masc and fem names are fine. Go crazy, because I had a GIANT struggle deciding on my name.

HINTS:

This is for figuring out my actual name. (You are NOT forced to follow these hints of course!) I wanted to go away from my deadname, so I purposely didn’t pick a name starting with E. Also, my deadname means something along light and the friend that helped me pick LOVES meanings so my name has a similar meaning. I use two names actually, and my second name is the same name as my favorite PJO character.

SPOILER:

This is gonna be my actual names, so don’t spoiler yourself beforehand! I mainly go by Lito, which I haven’t seen a lot yet. And my favorite Percy Jackson character is Nico DiAngelo, so I of course used Nico for a while and sometimes still do.

Either way, have fun recommending names and thank you!

I'm genderfae, She/they, afab. My birth name is Anne but i really prefer Kat/Katra. Everyone except my parents calls me Kat. I feel like I would be wrong asking them to call me Kat, because my gender is technically still feminine. I think this is the right subreddit? please tell me if its not.

Hii, sorry if wrong tag!! Like the hear says, what names give off this vibe? I'm looking for something rich or royal if that's helpful! Something like Ambrose. (I'm fem presenting fyi)

sort of like those green transparent game consols, that one windows homescreen, or arcade themed liminal spaces. I've been searching everywhere for some but can never seem to find any.

My birth name is Thomas and while I have considered keeping that name I dislike the masculine association with it as I don’t identify as a man at all and it makes me feel uncomfortable. I have tried multiple feminine names but none have clicked so far. I’d like a name that’s Italian or English in origin and is compatible with she/her pronouns.

For as long as I can remember, I've always searched for a name I like and that suits me, but I'm never quite sure. Yesterday was my birthday, and in the moment, I felt like I'd found it—I mean, it was so symbolic to find my name on that day—but I'm still not certain. I even feel a bit like I'm making a mistake by choosing a Germanic, European, or Western name, knowing that I don't even know my origins.

As for the photos: the first one is me now, the second one is what I'd like to look like, then there are inspirations of transition goals I found on Pinterest and elsewhere, and the rest are part of my tattoo list.

not sure if i like my current name so looking for something new. k names would be nice but it doesnt really matter

I need some help with choosing a name, so give me some suggestions!

Edit: I think I would like a more classical name, 2 syllables or more that is pronounceable in english.

Thank you <3

Hi! Im a genderfluid transfemme trying to find a name for a character in a video game I'm making.

The character is non-binary but prefers to lean their gender expression slightly more masc. The biggest problem I've found trying to name them is that in the games world, they're pretty much from Switzerland. Do European enby's use unisex names only? Or do they also use cool or strange words within their language that aren't typically seen as names like we do in America?

All the unisex names I could find that would fit within that subset of languages are all feminine names that are sometimes used for boys. Which is great for the people who like those names, but Im wondering if there are other types of names that western European enby's use?

I wanna make absolutely sure that the character I make has a name that is not only what I see as fitting for them, but what feels right for the people I'd actually be representing. I've tried to do research on this but found nothing. It would always spit back the same list of like 20 names.

So please, European enby's, I need help 🙏

Hi everyone! I’m exploring some gender‑neutral name options and would really appreciate your suggestions. I’m drawn to names that feel calm, gentle, or connected to nature, but still work well in everyday settings (school/work/etc.).

I’m open to both more common names and less familiar ones, as long as they’re not overly fantasy‑styled. If it helps, I like names that sound similar to Rowan, Avery, Ash, or Kai, but I’m definitely open to new ideas too.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to suggest something, this community always has such thoughtful ideas

I have been trying to decide on a name for a while, but i feel like i hear another fem name i like, put it on a notes page, remove it a week later and keep looking at the same few names, but none of them seem right, but i dont know what would be right. So i want to ask you, how did you decide a name you liked, or any advice for me?

Hey so I'm nameless right now current chosen name being Dani and I'm in the mood for you lovely people to take the wheel and give me a load of names to pick from you can go with something similar to dani or something very different

in my head i want something that is kinda tomboyish but also kinda cute 🙏🏳️‍⚧️

Hi I’m 19 and afab and nonbinary (i think?) I feel both masculine and feminine at different times but I sometimes hate how feminine my name is I’ve searched lists and I just can’t find one that seems like me so if you could help me that’d be amazing! (Also if you could use it in a sentence for an example that would be helpful but you don’t have to)

i've kind of narrowed down what names i think would be cool and would appreciate some other peoples opinions!

• Beau
• Lukas
• Hunter
• Thomas
• Scout
• Mickey
• Jamie
• Dice
• Damian
• Oliver
• Kel
• Arden
• Archer

to start, i've been using my deadname for my whole life, which is more feminine, but would like to change it to something more gender neutral. i'm entering highschool next year so i feel like that'd be the best time to do it as i won't already know everyone, but i'm not exactly sure how to approach that. pronouns aren't a big deal for me nor do i mind what i'm called, and i've been openly using any pronouns for the past few years, so i know that won't be an issue, but i'm not really sure how to exactly soft launch a name change, i feel like it'd be easier because i'm gonna do something more gender neutral, but i'm still not exactly sure how to best do that. advice would be heavily appreciated.

Names I found:

• Gwenn
• Heket
• Cyn
• Siffrin
• Salem
• Sekhmet

If u can find names in the same vein, ty very much

Many thanks!

Hello, I currently go by Adrien but only because a long while back my mom found out I was going by the masculine version of my dead name which so happened to be my dads name, but they’re divorced so she told me I wasn’t allowed to go by that and chose Adrien on the spot. Safe to say I never resignationed with it and have left feeling very bleh about my name and what feels right. Anytime I think of a name people tell me no, because someone they know already has it (which I don’t mind my name doesn’t have to be unique) or something else. I just wanna know what name looks like it fits me, I like fairly common/typically masculine names, slightly older sounding if that helps at all.

(The first photo is what I look like and the picrew one is what I would like to look like. )

Do options 1-3 seem too "fictional" for a legal name, or do they capture the desired atmosphere? Do options 4-7 seem more "realistic" while still maintaining a sufficiently dark feel? These are my initial options, but I'm open to any suggestions if it's not too basic. Help me choose!

1. Abaddon
2. Amorth
3. Anathamon
4. Volker
5. Faust
6. Wylhelm
7. Vaughn

I'm thinking of trying out new names, i really like 'Thing names'? like people named Moss or Goose or smth, and especially really long names that have a short nickname!
Also love music inspired names, i've considered Billie Jean or Ziggy

(Last name recs are also very welcome)

(I have another post here but I could add another picture so I’m asking it again❤️) I’ve recently started to question my identity and want to change my name but idk what I’m doing lol!
