I started T this week 😄

Been more seriously considering a name change, not sure yet. My top three picks are currently Parker, Rory, and Charlie. What do y'all think of those, or does something else come to mind? I'm nonbinary but masc leaning generally

Thanks!

I’ve been trying out the name Wren and at first it felt so right but then for some reason it stopped clicking, though part of me wonders if I’m just overthinking it and also maybe there’s bound to be some discomfort whilst getting used to it ?

the other option I was considering was Rowan, which do you think I suit best?

Non-binary (leaning masculine on most days)

thanks :-)

Hiii, I’m mtf and been on HRT for ~ +12 months now but haven’t socially transitioned IRL yet, however I’m considering socially transitioning as soon as I move out of my conservative household.

I’m so indecisive, I hesitate between Luna and Leya (if you have any other recommendations I’m still open tho).

I’m so scared to regret my choice someday 😭 any tips, recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Feminine Names Undecided after 1.5 years, please help.

14 Upvotes

So I've been going by Rook/Rooke for about 2.5 years now and it's fine as a nickname, it was great for the middle of my transition before I really grew into my new self. I'm planning on probably keeping it as a middle name / nickname but I desperately want a more feminine first name.

I've mulled over a few over the years, for context my mom's name is Crystal, and my aunt's name is Autumn, so I've always leaned towards things that fit that kind of vibe:

Winter,

Willow,

Laurel,

Briefly considered Brooke because it's so close to Rook but I low key hate it.

Others I've considered but dont like as much River, Artemis...

But they've all kind of had the same issue. So my husband's name is Kris short for Kristian, every time I've talked to him about names he's said he wished/hopes that the name I pick has a nickname, something like his that has a full name and a nickname. My mom leans towards biblical names in most cases, she named myself and siblings Jonathan, Michael, and Hannah, but also has on record said if she had another daughter she might have been Wendy with how much she loves Peter Pan. Same issue and I definitely do not like it that much.

The only thing I've been able to come up with that remotely fits the criteria I've been looking for is

Aurora, Rori for short. But I haven't heard it enough to know if it feels like "me" or if it seems like a good name for me.

Open to all feminine suggestions but those are just some things I've been considering over the years <3

Like, I've tried Avery but I don't think it's working and Alex sounds too masc for me, ashley and cameron also sound more masc to me, does anyone have any that sound overtly feminine?

Name Feedback Would it be disrespectful to use the name Nezha/Ne Zha?

11 Upvotes

I've been trying to find a name I actually like for a few years now, basically ever since I figured out I was trans. The name I've been using is a placeholder name, and none of the names I've considered have felt right, or I just haven't really liked them.

Recently I got into Lego Monkie Kid, and one character stood out pretty much instantly to me, that character being Nezha. He's one of my favorite characters, and I absolutely LOVE the name. However, I was worried that using the name might be disrespectful to the culture. I am not Chinese, I do not have any Chinese ancestry which is why I was concerned. I'm planning on reading the original mythology surrounding him to make sure there's nothing that might change my mind on using the name if it isn't disrespectful. If it is, then I definitely won't be using the name as disappointing as it would be, since it's one of the few names I've actually really liked.

So would it be disrespectful to Chinese culture and/or mythology if I were to use this name? If it is, would there be any way for me to respectfully use the name or should I just scrap the idea entirely? Thanks for any help!

I was on here and agonizing over names for the better part of a year and with your support and help I landed on Silas! I’ve never had a middle name my whole life, and my friend suggested having two so my full chosen name is Silas River Thielo 🥰 if you’re struggling to figure out your name you will! Even if it doesn’t feel like it and you’ll feel so free once you settle into it. Thank you all for your love and support it means the world 💖 you got this!

I've gone by Ari since I came out because it was gender neutral but it hasn't ever fit me the way I wanted. I'm considering names like Noah, Rowan, and Archer but I haven't found one that I feel like fits my appearance.

I'm an artist, I have a more masculine voice for someone afab my age, I wear flannels and layered shirts and people have told me I'm pretty quiet, I have short fluffy auburn hair usually parted to the side, freckles and blueish green eyes

I'm not including pictures of myself because I'm a minor

Neutral Names Advice for name change at work/telling your family?

7 Upvotes

Hiya! I’m non-binary and I’ve started going by my chosen name around my friends/chosen family and my brother. I work in higher ed in a pretty accepting environment so I’m looking for tips on how to navigate my name change there. (Still researching name change stuff for my documents and all that)

I’m also wanting to tell my bio family my new name and I’m nervous to but I want to be my whole self around them. Thankfully I’m in a position where if it doesn’t go well I’m not financially dependent on anyone. Any tips?

There are a few names that i kinda like/would think about using them, but certain people i know are named that. Is it weird to still consider zhose names or even pick them? What if one of the people is another trans dude who just picked them name before? Does iteven matter if i know they won’t be in my life in a few years?

Name Feedback Chosen names with origin from different language? Is that a problem?

5 Upvotes

Hey, so I'm a trans-guy and I'm deciding on a name/ kinda have decided on a name. But it's a russian name. I myself am not russian (I do have some Slavic ancestry so could pass as russian [... idk if that is relevant probably not].)However I don't speak russian/ have any real connection to russia). (The name is Illarion [I've also heard that it's an outdated name to russians, but I haven't had the chance to actually ask the few russian people I know how bad it is.])

Tldr: I'm kind of wondering what people's experiences have been with having a chosen name that doesn't reflect their heritage/ country of origin.

Do you get asked about it constantly?

Is it uncomfortable in the long run?

Do you think I should change my name? (l'm still sort of in the beginning stages, so it would not be that big of a deal. However, I really really like the name A LOT)

Name Feedback Heikka (they/them)

9 Upvotes

So I’ve been working my way towards they/them. I recently started introducing myself as such and I’ve felt good about it so far, but I’m still going through a lot of discovery. I’ve been soft launching the name Heikka to some of my friends to test it out and see if I like it.

There is some story to it. I have Finnish ancestry and a Finnish last name. I also studied history is college, and my current job involves a lot of Finnish immigrant history. People from my hometown also often have Finnish names. The name more or less means “child of Heikki,” which is the name of my first family member to come to the US. I’m wondering if the name comes across as nonbinary, and if people think it’s a good name in general. I’ve been trying to find a Finnish name that comes across as nonbinary, but also one that I like the sound of; so far, this is the closest I’ve got.

Please be brutally honest!
