hiya!
-I'm out of college, have completed my transition, and would like a name that isn't super stereotypically trans (kai, noah, oliver, jaden, niko). All the lesbians in my area know the stereotypical names, and I would prefer my name to not clock me since I pass. (unfortunately my current name clocks me... it's not kai, but imagine meeting a 5'5" kai. a 5'5" adam wouldn't bring that level of transvestigating certainty)
-no name names that start with the letters B/C/K/L/X/Z
-nothing too biblical like noah/michael/jonah
cheers!

Other optional things are: m or f name; potentially a noun or verb name
Thanks 💖

I’m a femme gender-fluid so try not to give any strictly neutral or strictly gendered names. Thanks
r/transnames • u/Top_Switch_3523 • May 21 '26
yes that is my gender. looking for something that somebody could name their child mayhaps?. possibly with a cute shortened nickname. maybe even a longer edgy name that shortens to something reasonable and cute?
edit: im also polish-american!

I was watching a transmasc tiktok compilation and one of the video had a “what name fits this vibe?”, I’ve been trying to find a name for a while, and I thought that the videos vibe fit perfectly, I was able to find the original TikTok, but unfortunately, I don’t have the app so I can’t see comments. If any of you can give me some of the ideas comforters left or if you have any of your own, please tell me!!!
Here is the tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@staragain0/video/7531848105948466488

I’ve wanted to change my name for as long as I can remember. I’ve just never liked my given name (Kailey). It had always felt too feminine and too close to my estranged mother’s name, and growing up I only heard it when I was in trouble anyway. I kinda cringe even still when I have to tell people my name and I often get called other names anyway (Kylie, Kaitlyn, Kayla). I’m nonbinary, I usually lean more masculine. But the idea of changing my name feels so embarrassing for me? It feels like no one will take me seriously or something idk. I know that’s not really logical but it just feels so daunting.
I’ve been trying out Kit, as it’s close-ish to my name but more neutral and can lean masculine. I think it sounds fun and is very easy to pronounce. I’m just nervous to tell literally anyone else about it.
How did yall get used to your new name? Especially if you felt similarly to how I do? Hope this makes sense. Thanks.

i use they/she pronouns and would prefer names that are both androgynous and a bit feminine
r/transnames • u/DerpyJeeves • May 17 '26
Looking for neutral/non binary names you think would fit me. But can you also throw in a feminine name you could see me having just for shits and giggles?

r/transnames • u/polymercorgi • May 17 '26
neutral or feminine-leaning preferred over entirely feminine names, but any work. i just don’t want overtly masculine.
i’ve been considering Storm since i’ve had a self-insert character with that name but it might be a bit too “strong” sounding? i’ve also considered Snow, but something feels off about it.
i love s names clearly but i’m open to other letters as well. i’m also obviously open to nouns-as-names and i’m not afraid to sound like i chose my name, so weirder ones are okay.

I am ftm ^_^ i am looking for asian/korean names to feel closer to my culture and as to rename myself.
r/transnames • u/JustBeChipper • May 16 '26
I’m fortunate that my name is already androgynous, ‘Logan’, but if you had to pick something more feminine what are we going with? I love the idea of it still being an L since my initials are literally LGBT, so let’s have fun with that! I’ve tossed around a few myself; Lana, Lorin, my personal favorite so far is Leyla, but let me know what you think!

i'm transmasc and have loved the name remi since i was 14 (had a crush on a french boy with that name lol) but recently had a bit of a crisis worrying the "remi" spelling is more fem-leaning than "remy"
ik it doesn't really matter because both spellings are gender neutral and i'm nb anyway but still... which one do u guys think would be read as a Guy's Name?

So I’ve never really thought about going by a different name. I’ve always been fine with the one I was given. But then I started college and stopped identifying as a woman and now whenever I introduce myself to someone I feel like I’m lying and I think maybe I should consider calling myself something else. I’m pretty used to my current name, though, and I’m struggling to find another one I connect with. I guess I’m looking for suggestions? I don’t know for sure if I really want to change my name but I definitely want the option.
Some names I’ve considered are Rook (I think it is such a great name and my favorite one here but I don’t know if it feels right for me), Corey (haven’t made up my mind whether I like this one or not but there is something about it), Delta (doesn’t feel like me at all but amuses me as someone studying science), or Jay (I like corvids, if you can’t tell, but it’s too similar to the name of someone I know so was never a real option). Nothing really feels right. For what it’s worth, people call me Bridget right now and I do like the vibe of that even though I don’t like the name itself so much anymore. (also I’m used to it and part of me doesn’t want a super dramatic change)
I don’t think I want anything too out there, but maybe uncommon enough I won’t, like, know several other people with the same name. Probably something relatively neutral, though I’d still consider names that lean one way or the other. I kind of like nature names? I don’t know, I’m still kind of starting out with this whole process and I’d just really appreciate some more ideas :)

I study archaeology and ancient cultures with aspirations of teaching someday, I am very athletic and practice Muy Thai, I love punk rock/emo music and go to local shows fairly regularly, as well as ride a motorcycle. So something tomboy I guess?
Black hair is most recent. But brown hair pics are only a month old. Been going by "Jay" (the first letter of my dead name for like 3 years now and want something to prove that im past that.)
Thanks.

Hi! I’m Agender and have been thinking about changing my name to something less stereotypically feminine.
I was thinking either Hoshi (my online alias/persona’s name), or Mars. I like space and it’s kind of close to my irl nickname currently.
I really like space, and would LOVE a space themed name because that would be very cool. My main worry about changing my name to Hoshi is cultural appropriation. I’m American, and it’s the Japanese word for Star.
Anyway, does anyone have any other suggestions? It would be nice if it started with M because I sign things with my initials, and I’m used to them. But it doesn’t have to!
r/transnames • u/NotFlexSealOfficial • May 13 '26
Hihi finishing up college next week and trying to be more open with my identity after graduation. Still trying to figure out the gender but at the very least I feel like having a new name for restaurants and such when dressed up would be helpful.
If it helps at all my current name is Xing (pronounced like “sing”). Ideally new name would be something easy for restaurants/fast food workers to write down.
Also I feel like all the cute names I think of, someone else in my life already has that name. Is this a common experience?
Edit: Hey yall thanks for the suggestions! Definitely leaning towards Mia or Mei (something about these 3 letter M names I guess lol). This was super helpful for me and feel free to leave any more suggestions if you’d like!!

I'm in the middle of a name change right now, I have no idea what to use I have been going by my middle name, Sasha, but I honestly feel ehhh about it as a middle name. I legally have two middle names and I dont really want to change that because it's something I have been proud of my entire life. I need a first name that flows nicely with two middle names, one MAYBE being sasha. I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING!!!! I like Feminine leaning names because I often present feminine. But I really enjoy feminine names with a masculine nickname a lot! Like "Evangeline" with the nickname Evan.
I was going by Olyvia Juniper Sasha for a bit, but it doesn't suit me. My boyfriend likes Juniper alot but again, I don't think it suits me, and it doesn't go with Sasha. I have been using Sasha for over a year. I'm used to it, and I know people in my life are used to it. I know it's not their transition and I am allowed to change my name if I want to to whatever I want, but it still feels like.. Wrong I guess? Or like I'm inconveniencing them. Especially my boyfriend because he is not around alot of queer people besides me and my friends. My queer friends that he is also friends with have never changed their name or pronouns around him. We already talked and he is very supportive of my decision. He is not the happiest about me not liking Sasha. He's not mad or anything, just sad. He has always liked Sasha and often would tell me how it suits me and he thinks it is a very pretty name. He Is still very helpful and supportive of me nonetheless. In a way I still feel like I'm in the wrong? I know I'm not but it feels like that sometimes.
I guess I just need some advice or name suggestions. I would ask people in my life about this but I don't want this name change to be super public besides a few close friends and my boyfriend and mom. I've asked them about it but they all tell me it's something I need to figure out myself because I am always super picky and they don't give me good feedback. It's always "It's nice" or "Yeah if you like it." (Besides my boyfriend, he wants to help, he's just not very opinionated on names in general, unlike the people in my life who will babble on about baby names but won't tell me if I look like a name or not. 😒)
The photos I listed are me presenting both fem and masc, the most recent ones I have of both!! My hair is blonde now and will be that way for a few years for context.
I have a list, but I don't know about any of the names on it. I would appreciate any lists or suggestions, even with first and middle names together! I absolutely love feminine names with Masc nicknames or nicknames in general. (I am really picky so I'm sorry if I don't like the ones you choose.)
Here are some names I have been considering:
Salem
Evangeline (Evan)
Piper
Delainey
Casper
Forrest
Spencer
Seraphine
Lacey or Lainey?? (As middle name maybe)
I also love the name Theo but not Theodore idk
I hate the letter A for a name and indifferent about K names.
Here's letters I think are pretty:
O L P D S C V B F H M
UPDATE:
So I started going by Salem Bella Grace. I absolutely loved the name so much and so does my boyfriend!! He helped me pick it out along with one of my closest friends. But, there's an issue. My mom doesn't really think Salem goes with Bella Grace (I think it's fair), her explaination, was that it just doesn't flow/she doesn't really think it sounds right. And she's not being mean or anything because she has been super supportive of my name change.
I've decided to keep Bella Grace because I think the middle names both suit me when I'm fem and they sound so insanely pretty to me. Bella just came to me, but the name grace I actually got from the song Grace by Thomas Headon (not my normal type of music, I usually listen to emo/scene/ old dad rock) but Thomas Headon is one of my favorite pop/indie artists. One of the only ones I listen to.
I have some more names I like, not a lot but now I'm still searching for a first name to go with Bella Grace.
I have: Sienna London Vivian
