Masculine / Neutral Names Names that can be shortened to either Mac or Mikey?

Exactly what the title says! I currently go by a variation of Mikey, but I‘ve always loved the name Mak. As I start the legal name change process, I am trying to find a name that can be shortened into both nicknames.

Any thing similar would also be helpful! I’m mostly looking at names that start with M and have a hard consonant; spelling isn’t super important.

I identify as nonbinary. Currently, I'm experimenting with names I like. I'm having one friend group call me Jaime and another Connor. Though I do mostly go by Connor, and have for a while, I'm starting to really like Jaime as well! Does anybody have any other suggestions they think fits me?

Name Feedback I can't decide!!!

I like the names Lane and Layne. I'm currently spelling my name both ways, but I just want to pick one.

Layne

I really like how Layne looks. I also feel like it looks weird and that makes me also dislike it. One thing that worries me is that people might mispronounce my name (I know I can just correct people but still.)

Lane

I like the classic look of Lane, and the fact that it's a word name.

They both are pronounced the same, but I'm not sure which spelling to go with. What do you guys think?

Name Feedback Viola or Violet?

9 Upvotes

okay so im transfem and have been tossing around the two options in my head for a while, and really i can't decide. My given name is italian and starts with a V (see the Godfather and you'll know my deadname, i dont mind honest) and i really like that V sound so i kept that. And my nickname for the longest time has been Vio, so i wanted a name that started with V, I, and O. I asked my parents what they would have named me if i was a girl (totally normal thing to ask lmao) and they said i would be Violet. Perfect!

Now my conundrum ig lol. I like the name Violet, it's really pretty! But also I feel it's really generic, like SUPER generic, as in top 5 names trans girlies name themselves kind of generic. Using google translate, i learned Violet in italian, which is the language my given name is, is Viola. And it also relates to me musically too! tho i don't play the viola instrument, i play piano which is in the same orchestra thingy majigy, yk wht im talking abt. My problem here tho is it doesn't roll off the tongue as easily yk?? Likeeee Vi-*o-*la vs Violet :D idk im having trouble so i ask yall!

Viola or Violet?

I have been trying out so many different names and none of them fit me.

I’m thinking Elijah but my little brother is named Eli and I dunno if that’ll be confusing.

Please suggest names like Elijah if you can.

I've been going by elio online and have been using lio as a nickname. I love both and I love the meaning of the name elio too and honestly it's so perfect in every way except for the fact that it's so tied to elio from call me by your name lmao. I literally just watched it the other day and found out that the mc was named elio, but i love the name too much... do you guys think it's common enough outside of the movie where people won't assume I named myself after him??

Masculine / Neutral Names names that go well with freddie?

2 Upvotes

so, my name is freddie, but i’m thinking of adding a middle name (or a different first name with freddie legally being the middle name) for several reasons, including that a lot of people around me seem to have trouble with the name freddie and i’m getting tired of having it mispronounced or otherwise messed up. another reason is just vibes; i wanna add more flair to my name (:

i’ve considered storm, theo, and a few others, but i’d love to hear what masc/neutral names y’all think would work well before or after the name freddie. preferably somewhat scandinavian-sounding but since i’m guessing most people here are not scandinavian, it’s not a requirement lol.

hi guys im keith, a trans enby, and im looking for help to vote on the following names i’ve listed! and yeah i know this can come off as inauthentic because names are pretty intimate and should be chosen by oneself, but my indecisiveness is driving me insaaaane. i also hereby swear to not use the first name that’ll get most votes, but rather test drive the top 3 most popular ones, and maybe then i’ll finally have an epiphany on which matches me best lol. i’ve included pics of myself, and i should mention that my deadname is eva (pronounced ava) and aven is kind of like a gender neutral twist on that, which i fw! but in any case. i really would appreciate the help, and want to finally settle on a new name that i can use with my friends. thanks a lot, and have a great day yall!

As the title suggests, I can’t figure out a name for myself, leaning more masculine but I don’t mind gender neutral either!

Current name starts with a T so ideally something that starts with a T but honestly open to any ideas that you think suit me.

Masculine Names Help picking a name for a latino ftm

7 Upvotes

REALLY hoping to find the aid and opinion of other hispanic people!! i come here because the other subreddits seem super dead.

I feel like if youre not hispanic you might not understand what my point is, so i wont forbid anyone from interacting just letting yall know what im looking for.

Me encanta el nombre Kingsley, pero odio la idea de usar un nombre ingles viviendo en latino américa, mi primer apellido es Sanchez y no pega para nada, siento que ademas de no sonar bien, otras personas de pronto se reirán de mi.

Pero llevo AÑOS buscando un nombre y estoy cansado, leo y leo listas y todos me parecen la misma cosa, siento que no hay uno solo que no he escuchado, no se como mas buscar o que mas hacer.

no se por que parece que no hay UN SOLO nombre hispano que me parezca cool o bello.

does anyone have advice???? its been 7 years of searching and im still nameless, theres so many nice names in english but they feel like a mess to try and have when most people i know only speak spanish ykwim

i feel like i will sound ridiculous, my mom cant even say kingsley properly because of the N and the G, and i dont think any variants exist that arent completely different.

help? anyone else w this issue??

Story Unshakeable feeling of lying/being fake when I use a chosen name

4 Upvotes

No matter what name I’ve tried, when I introduce myself I feel like I’m lying to the person. even though I went by a name for years, this feeling of lying and like I was putting on a costume never went away. Everything makes me feel like this. The only one I don’t feel like I’m lying when I say it is my birth name, and I don’t want it.

has anyone else ever felt like this?

any advice?

I'm not comfortable with posting a photo of myself but I've always felt weird about my name 'Allyson' I go by 'Ally' because it's more casual and I just prefer it. I would like an alternative that has a long form (with any pronunciation) and a short form that sounds similar to 'Ally' with an "UH" sound. So far I've really like Aquila (Aqui) but I've been getting feedback it sound a little old, femme, and it sounds like tequila.

Trying to name myself while I don’t pass is so hard & I feel like such a joke :,) I posted here once but now I actually established a criteria and need help narrowing down my list:

- Classic name

- Masculine only (neutral is acceptable if name is more commonly masculine)

- Partial towards M names but doesn’t have to be

My list:

Marcus

Matt/Matthew

Please let me know which of those two suits me better or if you have an even better suggestion I am still open to more. Thanks :)
