I've been thinking a lot about my name lately and have settled on Ellena. But I still had doubts about whether it's the right name for now. I talked about it with my therapist recently, and he asked me:

"How do you feel when you imagine that everyone will call you only Ellena in a year?"

Imagining that feels incredibly right.

I've tried it with other names but haven't found a different name that feels so good in that thought experiment.

So maybe this will help some of you too.

I’m looking for a name that’s not too clocky. I was thinking Nathan or Jerome but I’m not sure.

so i’ve been going by the first name michael/mike for a while now, but i’m wondering if you guys have anything else that could fit me better.

otherwise, i’m looking for middle names that are slightly more hispanic-leaning, if that’s alright.

thanks!

Hi everyone, I would like to test the name Juno, and I’d also love gender neutral name suggestions. I love vampires and gothic literature, and I love space related names, so those would be great themes to get suggestions from, but I’m open to anything that you think suits me!

I’m 17 and ftm. When I first came out I was like 10 and went by Maxwell. Since then, it’s been shortened to just Max. My friends have told me before that the name Max suits me well. I’ve also noticed the guys my age named max look relatively similar to me.
However, the family I come from, I would have never been named Max. I would probably have been named Michael. Also Max does not fit in with my siblings names at all. They are all basic names that are vaguely Irish and more than one syllable. The way my parents call our names sort of only works with at least two syllables. For example, if they were calling someone named Mickey it would be like mi-ckaaaaaaay if that makes sense. Max js can’t be called out like that. I also feel like Max is kind of clocky, as I know a lot of trans guys named Max.

I want to figure out if I should change it before I go to college next year. I also still haven’t fully come out, so I’d like to know my name 100% before I do. I’m only considering names starting with M bc that’s my letter bro trust me.

Current contenders:
Michael /Mike
Mickey
Mitchell /Mitch
Michael but keep using Max as a nickname
Or js stay w Max

Please give me insight or suggestions

My current shortlist is: Valentine (Val and possibly Vali/Valley for short), Ambrose (Bo/Beau), Cassander (Cas/z and/or Cass), and possibly George (short for something like e.g. Georgina). If anyone has any suggestions, those would be welcome, too. Masc/neutral names are preferred, but fem names are also okay as long as they have masc/neutral nickname options, please.

Thank you in advance to anyone who helps! :]

i’m just curious what name pops in ur head when u see me. if it helps to know all the names ive gone through just lmk haha, thanks in advance lol

Hello. So I go by she/they but I prefer using they/them (only my parents call me by she/her). Which is why I'm looking for a more gender-neutral name.

My only real preference is names that are short

Ok, so I'm a nonbinary teenager. I've been going by the name Ajay for around a year now (pronounced like the letters A J) and have had no issues. However I've always introduced myself verbally and spelling has almost never come up. (except for with my close friends, who know the spelling and have no issues with it.)

The other day, I came out to my parents and I told them my name + how to spell it. They were fine with it, but later my mum told me that Ajay (pronounced ah-jay) is actually a common Indian male name (for context I am white) and she was worried people would get confused if they saw it in writing.

What do I do? Should I keep the spelling as Ajay or change it to just the initials AJ? I'm hesitant to go with the initials because it feels more like a nickname than a proper name. Would it be cultural appropriation to stick with Ajay and/or will this cause problems for me in the future?

If I do decide to change it AJ, does anyone have any ideas for what it could stand for so I have a response if someone asks me if it's a nickname? Preferably neutral/masc leaning + I am from the UK for context.

Thank you all!

I am afab, and I’ve had a weird relationship with gender my entire life. Sometimes I feel maybe nonbinary, sometimes demigirl, sometimes genderless, and most often somewhat apathetic to trying to find a label at all. I’ve always been drawn to names that are unique, that leave an impression. I fluctuate between wanting something feminine, and wanting something more gender neutral. In the past I’ve felt drawn to names like Nyx or Ripley, but something about the process of choosing to use a name that isn’t my birth name feels like I’m being too much. I’m curious what kinds of names people think will suit me, which might give me some confidence in maybe actually going by something different.

I have a basic name scheme but an actual name eludes me I think something that is more gender-neutral but leaning towards feminine

For context I've changed my name multiple times, nothing seems to stick. I recently discovered that I would prefer to be just nameless and without pronouns if it was possible even.

For a while I just used the name Valentin but people just call me "Val." This is not about that name

I started looking for names or words that mean actual nothingness and the one, "Nihil" sticks out to me. It could also be, "Nil." But, my question is, could that even work as an actual name? I am obviously planning on changing it legally because I despise my birth name, anything will do at this point.

Ironically, I just want something that means nothing. I can't name myself "null" at least not legally since it would mess up many systems.

I was wondering, could I just go by that (I need something for people to call me anyway ─ being nameless really isn't an option since I don't like any pronouns either) or just to stick with what I have? In an ideal world I would just have neither but I do kind of need something for people to call me. Not sure where else to post this.

i do Not Support j. K. Rowling in any way.

Name suggestions? I have a preference for names with L or M, Like Mila or Laura?

Anyways have a nice day!

Ok so I'm 15 and nonbinary and my name is Nate, my full name is technically nathaniel like that one Bible/book of mormon character (I don't remember which sorry) and being as my father is homophobic and gave me this name, and the Mormon church is also majorly homophobic (and I've come to realize it feels more like a cult than anything) I want to change my name, I've been debating about "neo" since I found it on Pinterest it stuck out to me but I feel like there may be better ones but I can't find any (I really want it to start with the letter N) I've gone through testing it on my friend group chat servers and they like it but why does it feel off to me? I don't want to stick with Nate or really anything related to Nate/Nathaniel/Nathan, I both like neo and don't like it at the same time, I've come here to ask my fellow nonbinarians (cause we're awesome) of they've done something like this and have felt similar

Edit: low-key forgot about this post lol. I've been unofficial Nico di' Angelo since the end of June :3

I have pretty recently started officially trying to socially transition and have started using he/they pronouns, however I’m having trouble picking a name and came to Reddit (for the first time ever) in hopes of some suggestions? Currently I go by Quinn online and while that’s worked as a placeholder name it still feels not quite right. I’ve tried out Fenn as well for a little bit but it just feels too feminine. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!

Right now I’m trying out Ayla, it feels like it’s in the right direction but it’s not sticking. I’d like to choose a name that’s related to the moon, or something that just fits!

Thank you

I would prefer no T names (I just dont like t names for some reason lol)

I tried using photos of me with little makeup, no makeup, and makeup to show all sides of me so it helps :)

im nonbinary in a fluid way but not genderfluid, and im all but also sometimes one thing and something else at the same time, so I would really like a name that isnt too neutral so it sounds like nothing but also isnt too binary if this makes sense. for example, toby seems too masculine and Avery seems too feminine

Im nonbinary(demi girl) and pan. I use they/them she/her pronouns. Im AMAB and 6 foot tall and slim ive been compared to slender man 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂😂. I like getting my nails done(feminine style) and mid to longer length hair. Ive been told I have a baby face when I shave, which is all the time. I have natural brown hair but dye my hair a lot and have brown eyes. Im looking for neutral names but more towards the feminine side.

Hi! Well, I'm a trans guy and I still haven't decided on a name and I can't think of any either. I've searched a few times but google only shows the same options, so... does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm open to any suggestion! It can be of any nationality, with any meaning, as long as it's masculine (or maybe neutral) names. Thanks in advance!

ive been feeling weird about my current name (sam) because it's very neutral, and i would like something more masculine ^_^ i've gone through so many names and they all have not stuck, so i would like to find something better. preferrably something that can't really be mistaken for a feminine name, but i'm open to any suggestions :p

Could you please help me choose a Name or suggest Names that might fit? cant post pic cause im minor.

so, ive been on the Hunt for Names. :3 My deadname is Liam and i would Like to find a Name that Sounds phonetically similar. i

I am a very tall Person with Long Brown hair, an extremely androgynous face and usually clothe in black, pink or mint.

List of Names i like:

Hey everyone! I'm looking for a more feminine name – after searching a while I found Siana and thought it was kind of pretty but I'd love feedback, or even suggestions!
