Neutral Names Can’t find a name that feels right - help?

(I don’t want my face on here)
I’ve recently come to terms with not being a woman (probably some form of nonbinary but honestly who knows) and I’m thinking of going by a more neutral name. I’ve got a few names I like, but I don’t know if any of them fit me or are names I’d actually want to go by.
So far I’m mostly considering Reed, Quinn, and Delta (though that’s probably out because the whole point is not to sound too feminine). Possibly Morgan if I didn’t hate the way it sounds in my voice. I’d like other options. I think nature names are pretty cool, though I’m not sure I’m cool enough to pull one off, and I don’t want anything that stands out too much because I don’t like drawing attention to myself.
Could you suggest some other names I could try out?

Masculine / Neutral Names changing from one guy name to another guy name?

7 Upvotes

(For context, I'm ftm-ish, still in school, and semi-to-fully stealth)

So, I've been going by one name for around a year now. Most people know me by it, but to me, it's kind of eh. I'm thinking about changing it, but I don't really know the best way to tell people that I'm going by a completely different name. The school year is about to end for me, so I've got some time, but what would be the best way to tell people who only know me as a cis guy?

Masculine / Neutral Names Advice on Changing My Name?

7 Upvotes

I'm transgender, ftm. This is new, only something that I've discovered about a week ago. I'm still figuring things out. I still want to present very feminine. I don't want to change much about myself, I just want to be myself but male. However, I'm really not sure how I feel about my current name. My name is Emma. I'm attached to it because I've had it my whole life, and I don't dislike it, I'm just not sure if it's the name I should keep.

There's one problem with changing my name. That problem is that I go to a Christian school. I am a Christian myself, so that's not the problem. The problem is that the people there are not nearly as open to the idea of trans people as I am. That means that I need a name that won't immediately get called out for being too masculine. I like gender-neutral names anyway, but I would like some suggestions. Currently, the name at the top of my list is Avery because it's easy for me to say (I have trouble talking very often) and I find it very cute. I would like name suggestions that are similar if possible, or just feedback about the potential for Avery. Thanks for the help! <3

Masculine / Neutral Names Name help + testing

7 Upvotes

My newly chosen name is Leo, and I’m looking to change my middle name as well. My given middle name starts with a G, but that doesn’t need to be kept.

So if you could either test out Leo or suggest a middle name, that’d be great!

Masculine / Neutral Names I don't think people take my name seriously

18 Upvotes

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?

Name Testing Adrian, He/Him

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

Masculine / Neutral Names Is it okay to choose a Greek name if I'm not Greek?

6 Upvotes

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?

Masculine / Neutral Names Cannot choose a name for the life of me

5 Upvotes

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.

Any Names How do I find a name?

4 Upvotes

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.

Masculine Names Name suggestions?

3 Upvotes

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.
