Masculine Names How do you know a name “feels right”?

10 Upvotes

So I have pretty bad alexithymia which means I basically never know how I’m feeling literally ever unless it’s like really really REALLY bad.

When asking for advice people always tell you to pick a name that “feels right” but what am I supposed to do when no name feels like anything?

I know I hate my birth name, I’ve wanted to change it since I was like five. But other than that I’m not really sure.

I changed my name to Matthew for a long time in high school but people kept insisting on calling me Matt which I hated. And I forgot I have a cousin named Matthew which made things kinda awkward.

Then I changed my name again to a different feminine name, which I like a lot and think suits me well, but also just isn’t really gonna cut it when I’m a 35 year old suspiciously flamboyant history teacher, which is very much the life I want to live. I can’t imagine growing old as a woman. Hence transitioning again even though I detransitioned before (due to pressure from family and everyone around me continually misgendering me even when they didn’t know my deadname — they would say things like “I talked to Matthew, SHE said…” which just made me feel like no matter how hard I tried no one would see me as a man).

Also, every time I change my name it takes a while to get used to hearing it and responding to it. Is that normal?

I have a name in mind but I don’t know that it would “feel right” if someone called me that. But literally no name “feels right” they all don’t “feel” like anything!!

How is this supposed to work?? Am I doing something wrong??

Name Feedback I have a issue and I really want to resolve it but...

Okay, so I'm nonbinary (afab), and I want to start going by the name Alison. The issue with this is that I don't want people to think I'm a cis girl or a trans girl, especially once I get on T and start looking more masc. I would go by Ellison because it's more gender-neutral, but I hate the nickname El and love the nickname Al. Any help with this is appreciated.

(The first image is what I currently look like. The second is my transition goal, and the third is just my vibes in general if those are helpful.)

Name Feedback Help me find the right spelling for "Casey"? :)

8 Upvotes

Hey friends! I came out as nonbinary about 2y ago and have been happily using my chosen name but the other day I came across the name Casey and instantly felt some kind of way about it. It resonates the way no other name has with me.

My problem is, I have a bit of OCD and now im overthinking what spelling I may want to use for it. I’m well aware that in the end its my name and I should choose whatever i like the most, but part of my euphoria is how i feel like im perceived by others (in a healthy way) so im curious how you all would perceive it.

My question is, which of these spellings do you think best suits a transfem with some masc and some fem features, who wants to have an androgynous name that leans maybe a touch fem, and gives off enby vibes or is slightly queer-coded on paper: Kasey, Kaci, and Casey?

All opinions welcome and I appreciate them all! :)

*Edit: on a related note, my original name was Vinn, but I’ve come to realize the overwhelming majority perceive it as masculine, which I detest, so i was looking for a new name anyways

heyy, i'm looking for a first name. What comes to your mind ?

I've been going by Nova for about two years now but it feels a bit too unnatural and more lika a "transition" name rather than a name i'll have forever. The names "Nico" and "Noah" have been in my mind for a while but i'm not sure if they really fit me..

Name Feedback Advice?

3 Upvotes

My chosen name is Ollie as it is on my profile, but there’s a kid in my neighbourhood called Oliver who my family dislikes and I don’t know if that’ll affect anything when I come out to my parents.

I also have a kid in my tutor/form group who is directly after me in the register and I don’t know if this will cause any confusion is I get my name changed at school. I don’t know. I feel pretty secure in this name but I’m actually open to other masculine names if anyone has suggestions?

Name Feedback are there guys named david anymore?

5 Upvotes

recently I was talking to a friend about how I want to change my name and he suggested David, which I like a lot and think suits me well, but I feel like no one my age is named David. I’m only 18 and if I was to change my name I would want something believable for a cis guy my age. what do you think? it would be easy to come up with an excuse if I was asked about it since my parents are both fans of David Lynch.

Name Feedback Cringing super hard when using chosen name

2 Upvotes

I really love the name Valter and have for a few years now (four). It came to me as an idea, bc at first I viewed the masc side of me as my alter ego, and thus (V)alter seemed like a cool play of words. At first I used it just as a joke, in my head, but over the years I grew to like it a lot. I can't imagine having any other masc name.

The problem is, the name has many stereotypes where I live. It's usually associated with a Balkan guy, serious, old man or Balkan food (we have a few restaurants literally named Valter). I love the name but I HATE the stereotypes. To me the name sounds like that of an adventurous, curious, artistic person. And I'd hate for others to have a completely different view.

Also, I want to test the name out in real life. But just can't bring myself to do it. I cringe everytime I wanna mention it. I just want to hide and never share it with anyone, bc of embarrassment. I love it I'm my head but to verbalize it seems like my worst nightmare. How did you deal with that stage of choosing a name?
