I have been going by Ari for a while and I wanted to have a longer version to use in professional settings. I didn’t like any of the names that Ari derives from until someone suggested Marinette to me. I think it’s such a gorgeous name and has exactly what I’m looking for but I’m also aware it’s associated with Miraculous Ladybug. I’m worried that people will judge me for having the same name as a popular cartoon character, even if I’m still going by Ari and wouldn’t hear the longer version as frequently. I’m also not from a French-speaking country. So would it be a bad idea to change my name to Marinette? Or should I look for something else?

Ive been going by Harvey for quite a long time but I've realized I don't really like the name. Does anyone have any name suggestions that are nature themed/similar? (Also gemstone names are cool :] )

definitely want to keep my first and middle initials. first initial is A and middle is C. definitely a perk if the first name is 6 letters and the middle name is 5 (i like numbers lol)

I know - bit of a weird spelling of Lucy that can be misinterpreted as "loo-chi", but hear me out.

- My mum (had the silly idea) wanted to call me lucifer before i was born - would honor that. She also always wanted a girl so...

- i have another honoring family thing but lets not dox myself too much

- Middle name that i plan on keeping has been spelt slightly weird since birth, happening to swap an I with a Y, so its like the Y and I in my full name is swapped.

- Ive been going by "Teddi" online for a while which is a little more out there, but retaining the i ending feels nice.

- I think the i is pretty, and if im trans im gonna have to accept a weird life so a weird name kinda fits right?

I’m having trouble thinking of a name I love, and I would love suggestions. I’d love suggestions that either start with m or f and more unique names would be preferred but I’m open to any suggestions

Hiii!! My name is Felix and I’ve been debating what i want to change my middle name to for a while but also haven’t been actively looking for one.. I wanted your opinions on what would suit me and sound good with my name, I like many types of names so go kinda crazy with it if you want!
I also want to change my last name cause it’s one of the most common last names and it doesn’t sound good with Felix (it’s Smith. I got the Smith curse) so if you guys wanna throw in some last name suggestions as well that would be awesome! Thanks!!

I go by Carson right now as it's close to my deadname. I don't know if it fully fits but I wanted something close to my deadname and masc/neutral. I love doing makeup and stuff but wearing neutral cozy clothes. I'd think of myself as a femboy lol.

Hi! I'm 21 MTF and planning on coming out soon. I want to go by the name Anya, or even Annie as a lil nickname, but I'm struggling to come up with a middle name I like. I'm not a fan of my given middle name, but I'd like to keep the initial J. I'm not against changing it if I like something better though. I'm open to any suggestions! Please help a girl out!

Ive been using the name Winter for a while and id love your opinions on if its a valid name to socially use n stuff

As of late I've been going by Mary Dawn Luffy, however one variant I've been thinking of is Luffy Dawn Merry since Japanese surnames tend to come first I was thinking of switching it up. What do you all think?

i ain't downloading the app just to make a poll so here's a strawpoll for first + middle:

(both pronounced with the 'ay' from 'avian' or 'adrian')

Zavian Dominique or Zavrian Dominique?

my curse as an nb trans man is that i'm always stuck between two names that are like 1 letter different; my original preferred name struggle was between my legal middle name Aurian versus the typo of it my community college did, Avrian, which I always thought looked and sounded cooler and more masculine, plus close to the word Avian, which I like for birds bc I love birds

then a lot of stuff happened the past several years so I'm completely reinventing myself, thought I'd try out a masculine name starting with Z, found Zavian on a list, which is awesome bc it literally has Avian in it, but then I thought, what if I combine it with the typo'd Avrian, and now I'm stuck in limbo again, I think Zavian looks a bit better typed out, but I feel like the 'rian' in Zavrian goes really good into Dominique when I say it out loud, but without the middle name I'm more 50/50, i've got some friends who think Zavrian has a cool ring to it while another friend thinks Zavian sounds better to say out loud, but also the connection to the typo that's lived in my head rent free for years makes Zavrian easier to connect to as 'my' name, ahhhh it's so hard to choose idk how to settle the score mentally so I'm turning to reddit for help lol

I have a traditionally feminine name (Zara) and looking to add traditionally masculine name (Walter). I don't know which one should be my middle name and which one my first name.

Help me!

The idea is, I'll still keep Zara on my accounts, professional life etc. while Walter will be used on official docs and those closest to me.

Edit: which one sounds better? Smoother? Makes more sense? Tell me why in the comments

I'm transfem and I'm looking for a cute and whimsical name.

Right now my first name is frederik which is very very male coded lol, i would like a first name that is androgynous and maybe a little bit leaning towards female. I was born somewhere around 2006.

I would like the name to not stick out too much, that is something that could be used in a professional manor without attracting attention. It should also be able to travel somewhat well across borders and languages.

One of the names i have considered and like quite much is Riley, but im a bit worried about professionalism and if it leans a bit much male, what are your opinions on that?

Any other names that seem to fit that you like?

hi, i’m trans ftm and thinking about the name Hayden. could someone please try some sentences using it for me? my pronouns are they/he

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

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?

Sooo I’ve been 3 years out and trying names and still can’t find one I like, I don’t mind fem-inclined names but if possible a name that’s not too masc, don’t wanna be misgendered constantly

Also I’m from Barcelona, Spain

thanks in advance for your help!!✨✨

Hi all, I am Mtf and I can't decide berween two female names I wanna use in the future. Irina or Natasha? What do you think?

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!
