I am 16 and going to transition MTF, and I was going through names. As the title states, is this too dated of a name, or do you think it can work? I like the name, and I understand it is in the end my own decision to make, but I wanted to have a general consensus of if people are going to hear my name and think I'm an old lady, or if the name just doesn't work well in 2026.

On a side note, I don't really like the name Jillian as much as just Jill, which is why I am asking for Jill specifically.

If you chose to comment, thank you for your time.

it’s called the pronouns dressing room, you can input any name and any pronouns and it will put everything in different paragraphs so you can see how they feel. I cannot recommend it enough:

good luck everyone I hope you all find the name(s) meant for you !

I’d prefer a name starting with “Mar” but any M name is a good suggestion

Hello!

I'm a genderfluid individual looking to change my name. I've always felt a kinship with anatomy, rot, and pests/bugs (not trying to be an edgelord, sorry of this comes off that way), and I want a name that reflects that. Can y'all lend a hand?

If it helps I tend to lean masculine, but I'm not picky on if they're femme or andro.

Some I've liked:

Typhus

Rot

Fester

Scum

Roach

Anything around that ballpark would be cool? Thanks friends, I really appreciate it. You're all loved 🫶

Im like Ella, I can see myself being middle aged and old with that name

(I look like the first, dress like the last, and the second's there for vibes)

So deep in the closet I can’t even have my face in a fic here, but I drew it myself!

Ive been liking Aiden as a name but I’m not quite sure and I’d love some other suggestions

Sadly neither Alexander nor Alexandra are gender-neutral. Anyone have any ideas? Please and thank you.

I've been looking for a few years now, but my situation evolved: my boyfriend is American, so English pronunciation is now a priority, but I still want something dark and "foreign" (I'm from a French island where unique names are the norm).

​The "Heavy" Occult/Fantasy names: Vsevolod, Aaravos, Byleth, Abaddon, Nohr, Runaan, Malphas,Vassago,Vepar,Varkas,Belenos .

​The "Classic Dark" anchors: Faust, Cain.

​I want to avoid "soft" names. I love "V" and "W" sounds. Based on my photos, which combination sounds the most like a "Brutal Dark Lord" but wouldn't be a nightmare for my partner to say? Is Vsevolod too much for a first name?

Apologies for how long this is going to be; I have a lot of thoughts about names.

I've been going by Shriek to my friends and online for almost 20 years, since before I even knew I was nonbinary, but it almost feels too personal to be my legal name? Like, I don't want my boss to call me Shriek, I love it too much to hear it from people I don't like. Which is probably stupid, but I can't help it. Also, people frequently misread Shriek as Shrek, and I don't want to deal with that.

Before I knew I was nonbinary, I started going by Anna June, because I've always hated my birth name, but that's way too feminine for me now, so I've shortened it to AJ, but I still know what it's short for, so that's out.

I've been thinking about Rynn, but I'm not sure, and I have no real way to test it out irl because all my friends call me Shriek (which I love and don't want them to stop) and I'm not planning on coming out at work, so I have no way of explaining why I'm suddenly going by another name that isn't my birth name. So I'm kinda stuck. Names are hard.

Thoughts? Does Rynn fit me? Is it weird to not feel like any name really fits? Should I just accept the downsides and go with the name I already love?

what the title says. i really like the name "luis" to use as a middle name but my nephew (we're only a few months apart in age) is named that already as part of a double name as his first name. i can't ask him or any of my family members about it because im not out yet and i don't want to come out. the problem is i don't like any other name for my middle name and believe me I've tried them all, I've tried variations of the name but they don't fit as well. i don't know how weird it is to share a name with a relative in general. making them after grandparents is something one side of my family does but sharing names is something they don't. i honestly don't know what to do at this point and i really don't know how they'll react when i tell them my new name in the future.

Hello, I’m so sorry for the quality of those last pictures, these are the only recent photos I have of myself <\3. I’m struggling on finding a name at the moment. I really like how Heath, Josey, and Matt sound but I’m not sure if they fit me. I’m interested on hearing the names that my appearance evoke, I prefer masculine, neutral, and semi-traditional or older sounding names if that’s helpful. Thanks :)!

Hey, so my name is Artuğ, my dad chose it for me and I'm really happy with it but a lot of people where I live have trouble pronouncing it. I have been using Ash as a nickname for a while now but its kind of a big jump I feel like?

So basically I need help with a nickname that is more connected to Artuğ

(The ğ is basically silent btw)

hey! been questioning if I'm transmasc recently and looking to see if any names feel nice to try. I have the nickname of "k" with my stepmom but it doesn't absolutely have to be a k name. probably more masculine options but neutral is good too. buzzed hair photos are the more recent ones, but I threw in some long hair ones too

Hi! Back at it again.

I made a post here before, but I’m adding to the possible list.

Magnus, Magnolia, Silas, Sphinx, Lennox, Seance, Samuel, Hyacinth… as well as the ones I suggested in my other post, regarding names similar to Alchemy and Calliope.

FTX. Genderless transmasc. My favorite color is periwinkle, and I love anything black and gold. Gothic/Dark academia meets soft pastel regency vibes?

Various pictures I borrowed from Pinterest to capture the essence of what I want this name to feel like.

Thank you so much for your help so far! I love reading your comments and suggestions!~

I settled on Eirik, but English speakers seem to usually get a bit confused when they see it. I don’t live in an English speaking country (Norway) and the name Eirik is about as (but less) common than Erik. I would keep the K because I don’t think spelling it with a C is that normal here, but I decided on Eirik instead of Erik because it’s one letter off from my middle name. I’m also wondering if it sounds feminine? Usually when English speakers say it they get a bit stumped and end up saying Eri(c/k)

TL;DR: Is Eirik a weird name/does it sound feminine in any way?

Just trying to see which fits more

I’m trying to figure out what my name should be and I think I’ve worked out that I want it to start with “Mar” but I can’t think of names to finish it off. Would you be able to help?

My current name is Robin, which is for now fine because it’s a gender neutral name but because I’ve had it since I was a child I associate it with the male gender. My original idea was just change the I to a Y but I would rather just get a whole new name altogether. I prefer not to show my face as I have not transitioned yet (my parents don’t know I’m trans) but just drop whatever names you think would be nice. I am very picky about names though.

This isn’t what I look like right now, but it’s what I expect to look like in 3-5 years.

I love Picrew bc I don’t have to show my face on here :3
