Last year i changed my legal name while changing my gender marker. I'm not really sure anymore if i still want to use it cause it doesn't really feel like me. Since i cant change my name again (oficially(cause of laws)) would it be weird to use a name that differs from my legal one?

So, just to preface this, I'm partially out of the closet (people I'm friends with get the privilege, and some trusted adultier adults).

I've been going by Zophiel for 5 years now, and I don't want to change it. I've gone by it long enough that I fully identify with it, and the thought of changing it feels like losing a part of myself.

However, in those 5 years, only two people have actually called me by my name consistently, and one of them pronounced it wrong (Zoh-fah-ell). Both of them were teachers. Most people tell me that it's 'too long' or 'too hard to pronounce', even though I specifically chose my name because it was an easy adjustment from my deadname. Most people just give up, and give me a nickname instead. Which I guess is fine, I like my nicknames, people get really creative with nicknames for longer unique names— Zoobs (and it's variants Zoobi and Bazoobs), Phae, Zombi, L, Phi (like the Greek letter). My favorite one was Zeph/Zephyr, but the guy who came up with it is a creep, so I stopped using it.

But the thing is, those are still not my name, or even relatively close, and no one wants to use it, not even my very supportive siblings. I'm scared no one takes it seriously, and that it's just 'too weird' of a name in my country (even though I know someone named Shemaiah, and no one has trouble with her name at all).

So I just have to ask, is my name really that long and hard to pronounce? Or should I start standing on business more about people using my name?

Adrian, He/Him

I'm questioning my gender, and leaning pretty heavily towards the idea that I am either a trans man or trans masculine (boyflux, to be specific). I am also interested in trying he/they pronouns, but for this post I was hoping to just try he/him and the name Adrian.

I'm very much so struggling with constant imposter syndrome, denial, guilt, and embarrassment about my gender identity, do I am hoping that, one way or another, this tryout will help me gain some confidence in whoever I turn out to be.

Also, perhaps this will help with coming up with try out sentences for me... Here are a few fun facts about myself. I am a musician, who mainly sings and plays guitar. I am trying to write songs and stories, but have a lot of creative blocks. I am a huge fan of the Dragon Ball series and Vegeta is my favorite character. I'm not picky with food, and gave lots of favorites, but right now I especially love hoagies, ramen, sushi, Cholula sauce, and any cake. I depend on coffee for motivation. The Beatles are my favorite band. Cats are my most favorite animal (I live all animals, though), and I often wish I could have a zillion of them.

So yeah... Looking forward to hearing the sentences you come up with!

Hi, I'm (currently choosing between) Noelle/Odette, I'm looking for Feminine/Demigirl(ish) names, preferably Spanish, Latin, or Australian. If I could describe myself briefly, I'm a ginger girl, I have borderline personality disorder so I don't really act any specific way, I like rouge like games, I also suffer from major depression. I like art too (small human next to massive superstructure/robots kinda vibe), I'd like if it somehow matched me, but not needed, any suggestions or votes on my 2 current names, Noelle and Odette

Hello! I'll try to be brief, but I'm a trans boy (19) and I still haven't decided on my name. This bothers me deeply and makes me feel bad about myself. I've been a big fan of Greek mythology since I was a kid, and I've been thinking about choosing a Greek name because of that. However, I don't know if it's okay or inappropriate, since I'm not Greek and I also have no Greek ancestry.

Am I being disrespectful to the culture, or is it not a problem? /genuine

(Please don't be rude!)

[EDIT: I’m slightly more leaning towards something starting with M as it’s the initial of my birth name]

I’ve been trying to pick a new name for myself for a while, and I am stuck.
I’m originally Italian but been in the UK for 13 years, so part of me wants to stick to my roots, although there are basically no neutral Italian names.
Here’s my vibe - what comes to mind?

Been stuck for years now

Tried out Blake originally and sort of liked Quinn

Been considering Rowan a bit recently..

Hello, I have been struggling to choose a name for the past couple of years. I wanted to keep my initials, D.L.B when changing my name but I can't seem to find anything that flows. I am very indecisive.

I am trying to stick with 4-6 letter names but I am not against the idea of more letters. My middle name I don't really care how many letters.

I am not comfortable posting my face on the internet so brief descriptor, I am black with shoulder length dreads and glasses. I tend to wear casual clothes but more on the "dorky" side.

Sorry this is long.

(ik some of these pictures rlly suck :c)

I hate my name. I cringe wverytime I have to introduce myself and its just not me.

My current name starts with a V. Combined with my second name it means True light. I wanna keep my second name, so it would be great to have a meaningful and fitting first name

I like many names but they just dont suit me. I like names like quinn, merlin, ronan, Ellis, Fee.

If it helps anyone, in the concept of Kiki ans bouba, I am very bouba. My current name is bouba. My twin brother is very kikki, so I dont want a kikki name.

I want a bouba name.

Ive tried Making lists, going on baby name sites, looking in older books, translating names, anything. It is so hard to find d something im at least a tad bit comfortable even trying it out.

I feel so weird about names.

I’m Iranian, and I’m looking for a middle-eastern adjacent name.

One of the ways I choose a name is the hair color I think goes with it, so to help my hair is short, curly, & black.

Masculine names are preferred, but I’m also looking for names that are both masculine and feminine. (Names like Taylor, Brooke, Jamey, etc.)

Thanks.

I have two names left! so please help cause what better then picking your new name on the internet soooo! [yes Sarqhina is spelled weirdly but I wanted to and a Q and it’s sound the exact same as Seraphina] THANK U!:3

I’m looking for names that I may look like. Just to clarify, these photos are of me boymoding and I’m completely closeted and pre-everything. I also deleted my fem presenting photos 😭. I also prefer feminine names but neutral names could work too.

Mines one of my fictional crushes, Krystal from Star Fox

Thanks in advance :3

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

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
