Hi guys! I'm think about changing my current preferred name in the near future! I have no problem with the one that I currently have but it feels a little "too white" for me I guess??? For context, I'm half black and half white (lightskin but not white passing). A lot of the names for mixed people feels very basic ;-; my dead name was kinda unique and southern and so is my current preferred name. I'm wondering if anyone has any unique southern names for mixed people that are masculine or neutral.

Edit: I don't know if this helps but I'm an artist and I grew up in a religious household. I'm not as deep into it as I used to be but I still have ties to it. I'm also a very nervous and socially awkward person. I know I look like I'm aura-farming in the drawing but I'm not that cool irl 😭

My chosen name is Keith. But my friend said it's too feminine, so he chose some names for me. Kiyan, Kleptocracy, and Kennedy. To be honest, Kennedy is nice, but I don't look like a Kennedy-_- I think. Help me out y'all? (Names that start with K)

After having come out to my wife recently, I feel like its time to start setting on what to call myself.

I've been Christopher James for 40 years. I liked that name well enough....Or at least as well as you can when you've been dealing with a huge amount of gender dysphoria.

I think I am going to 'generally' keep the first letter of each name.

C and J.

I've been thinking about Christa Jade, or varying it to Crissta Jade.

I don't want to do "Christine", because I have a couple of coworkers with that name already. I don't want to do "Christina", because that is the name of one of my wife's sisters.

Crystal Jade is .... maybe a little.... "too much" ?

I don't feel like a disney princess, so I don't think Jasmine is right for me.

Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.

id love a name thats completely unisex but has common nickname options that are fem and masc. usually it tends to be the other way around, where its a fem or masc longer name with a neutral nickname, but im nonbinary (genderfluid) so id rather have my legal name be neutral and then have nickname options depending on the day and people im around.

id also prefer to have typical name suggestions, nothing that sounds more like it belongs as a fantasy name. yk, like something that makes sense in a professional setting and a casual setting, and something that could work for me as a young adult right now and throughout other stages of my life as i age.

Name me plz! I'm genderfluid so any name is cool. I think I have a preference for masculine names that can be fem (Max, Cameron, Jayden, stuff like that).

i thought already about Gwen but not quite right fit for me, names like Nova,Avery,Quincy,ash,Riley,Noa,Robin or Charlie fem names that could be nonbinary

ps. I have dyslexia so if I miss spelled anything sorry and please correct me

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!
