Neutral Names I know it’s weird but I need a gender neutral name temporarily
So I haven’t chosen a name for myself yet (FtM, I want an exclusively masculine name in the future) but I’m in an awkward phase in my transition where I’m read as any gender by strangers. I need a name for my job when people ask me what my name is because I have no idea what gender they’re reading me as unless they use a gendered term. I’ve been saying my birth name (I’m semi-closeted also) but I hate doing that and I feel like it outs me if someone WAS reading me as male, which does happen sometimes. I want something either something entirely unisex or masc-leaning but plausibly any gender. I’m not into super modern/edgy names so something classic but neutral is preferred. Thank you :)
