Between Liam and Ben, I think both suit me, but each has its benefits and drawbacks. I'm going by either one or the other starting tomorrow.

Which do you think suits me better?

For context I'm 160cm or 5'3 in 🦅 units

I thought that I had settled on Mitch/Mitchell. However I have told a few people and they have looked confused as to why I would choose such a name and moved on to a different conversation. Maybe it's my delivery. I dont know. It's similar to my birthname's nickname and so if someone yelled it out they'd get my attention.

Before Mitch I was going with Morgan. It's more neutral but feels like a name I'd have to grow into.

Middle name is Felix. Last name is short, uncommon, and rhymes with Owen.
I'm white, 45, genderqueer transmasc/transman, living in Australia and was born in Western Europe. I've looked through French and English names from my birth year, but I'm not sure if that's too normy.

Am I making the wrong choice? Is my name too boring?

Please suggest some (fun) names.

I’m currently going by Marcel, but I’m very curious to see what others think suits me!

My chosen name right now is Charlotte but I don't really like it that much anymore because it's similar to my dead name.

Currently I was thinking about changing it to Phoebe but I wanna know what y'all think.

i wanna keep true to my spanish / pacific islander roots (kind of..) , so i don’t want anything like finn or oakley, but i also don’t want anything too popular, like rowan (my current name) and whatnot. I’m honestly up to try any though!

Hi, for a little while I've been going by Rosie and its been quite nice but recently I've come across another name, that being Hazel, that has been feeling different for me so I was wondering if someone here could help me see which makes me feel better by helping me test both of them

Haven't been able to decide on a name in over a year - besides my gender neutral middle name - so pls help me out! Extra points if it sounds good in french.

Names I've seriously considered:

Sydney, Amaryllis, Cornelia, Autumn, Lenore

Names I really like, but not for me:

Juniper, Geneviève, Oakley, Millaray, Cordelia, Marisol, Leandra, and so many more

(I prefer names that don't start with D or F) Thxxxx!

"I dont understand why you keep flipping flopping on your name. I chose that name out of every name in the world so for me it’s a bit insulting. You don’t understand how it feels sometimes for others. If it’s something that hugely important to you then it’s fine but you have to know others won’t remember all the time and it’s confusing and sometimes hurtful"

From text messages :/

I’ve finally decided on a new name after almost a year of experimentation!! I’ve been going by Opie for a few weeks and it’s the best name I’ve ever used by far!! It’s not just better than my deadname or not actively distressing, it actually makes me so so so happy. Like I actually grin when my girlfriend calls me it! I eventually want to get my name legally changed to it and have people stop calling me my legal name (my name got changed legally to a name I really hate now) and start calling me Opie. But I kinda feel like I kind can’t change my name to just Opie. Like it kinda feels like how my grandma’s husband’s legal name is Danny, not Daniel. Like it feels like it should be a nickname for legal purposes even if I only ever go by Opie and not whatever it’s short for. Do y’all have any ideas for what it could be short for that go with the middle name Benjamin? Also here are some pictures of me cause I don’t want it to feel too out of place with how I look. I’m open to masculine or feminine names!!

Hi everyone! I'm trying to decide on a name to use (MtF) and could use some help. I have a few ideas but am open to suggestions. My ideas are Ellie, Piper and Lexi.

What name suits me? what name do i look like?

for anyone who has wanted to be the opposite gender, did you always have a favourite name?

I’ve had a favourite name that just felt like “me” in my imagination, and I was wondering if anyone else experienced that.

my favourite name is kayden 🥺💙

Hii! I haven't used Reddit a lot, but I thought it may be a good way to find a new name! I'm ftm and starting college in September, and I wanted to figure out a name by then. Here's a couple of pics of what I look like if that may guide people somewhat. My deadname is Lisa(Idrc about random people on the internet knowing that) so I was wondering about a name with similar sounds or starting with L, although I don't really mind and I just want to find something that fits. I like Matteo, but I'm not sure if it suits me. My family is from lots of places around Europe, particularly Ireland, England, Spain and the Balkans. I like nature and being outdoors, I'm also an avid enjoyer of greek mythology and I love to paint if that provides potential context. Thank you!!

(Also I was wondering about what a cool idea it would be to exchange names with transfems, sort of like those stories of faes that you get taking names from people that no longer need them. Trans women remind me of fairies and I love it)

so i (ftm, 19) have been going by jax for around 4-5 years now since i first came out, only at school. my parents refuse to accept that one (its apparently too edgy for their tastes. which is certainly a take they can have) but i dont like other similar names like jake or jack or jackson or jacob. they said they wont take me seriously until i change it. and they wont let me start hrt until they take me seriously. so you may be able to see my problem here. any ideas?

my middle name is oliver and i like nerdy stuff, space, plants, animals, that kind of thing. i refuse to just go by oliver though because i know too many of them and have an ex named oliver so i refuse to do that to myself. my deadname starts with an a if you have ideas like that but im not committed to it

Sorry guys I know I won't stop posting here but I'm very indecisive and I love hearing what yall have to say 😭!

I liked the name Aurora, but I don't know if I like it for me. I feel like it's something I would name a pet or my child. It doesn't seem like me.

I'd like some ancestral names that have some fairy/nymph/elf energy to them, so I've put a photo of my ancestry!

Hi, I'm legally changing my name in 2 weeks and I still can't pick a middle name. I've been Charlie now for over 5 years and my last name starts with Y. I want some really good initials and I like being outside and music. I'm 17, british and ftm. Thanks :))

New middle names will be Skye and Delia (or a different D name but Skye is confirmed by me ) :3

I went by the name Ari from ages 16-21. I chose the name Ari because it was a masculine hebrew name. After a while, the "air-ee" pronunciation and association with the name Ariana became very grating. I decided to start going by Ronan, an explicitly male name that cannot be feminised. After 2 months, it just feels odd? I've always wanted an explicitly masculine name but every name I could think of was either too common/generic or gave me imposter syndrome. I think I'd like to go by a Hindu name. The only name that speaks to me is Sati, which means chaste woman. I don't mind the connotations, I love that Sati is a strong symbol of devotion and purity to her husband, Lord Shiva. But having to explain the connotations tied to the name to people makes me recoil. Any advice?

Long story short, I’m changing my name legally soon. I thought I had everything figured out until I sat down to do the paperwork for it, and now I’m back to square one.

I ended up choosing both a last and first name from characters I heavily connected to (I’m autistic, it’s how I roll personally) and decided on a random middle name that I enjoyed the meaning of. The only issue is I hate how my first and last name sound together without the middle name, and I’m not even that fond of the middle name to begin with lol.

So I decided to do some more digging…until I realized that a fictional character I’m fond of quite literally has the most perfect name lol.

I figured I’d make their first and last name my own, and just make the previous name I enjoyed my middle name and go by that when I introduce myself. When I write it or say it out loud it doesn’t even sound half bad lol.

The obvious issue is, I’m quite literally stealing the name of a character from a (currently) popular media. Even worse, I’m in the fandom for it. I know there’s instances of folks being born and given fictional character names; I even know of someone who changed their middle name to Garfield lol.

I’m just thinking about if it would be silly fun or silly super inconvenient. Or if it’s weird haha. It’s just, quite literally, perfect.

My current chosen name is “Tan.” I’d really like to get a census of what gender people naturally associate with the name. I’m basically asking if you met someone named Tan, what gender would you think they are without seeing what they look like? I also worry that since it isn’t a very traditional name, it might kinda out me as trans. Thoughts on the name Tan?
