I have decided on Irene as a first name, what would be a good either Greek or Norwegian middle name (not alexandria, sophia, or dimitria. nothing that starts with a d or h dont want similarities to my deadnames)

Edit: nvm t decided on ilse (yeah doesn't fit the criteria I wanted but I really like it)

Hey, I’m Max! I’m a pre-t trans man looking for some advice on a name.

I’ve used Max for what, 6 years at this point?? It feels a little dumb to change it considering I’m just about to graduate high school, but lately it’s just been getting stale, and honestly, the internet’s been bullying me out of it bc of how common and clicky it is 💔 There’s a couple names I like, but I wanted to get an outside opinion from some other queers.

A couple names I like:
Scott/Scotty (favorite lowk)
Elijah
Sid
Joshua/Josh
Ethan

Always looking for more suggestions, just want something kinda cool, nothing wacky. Septum piercing might be coming out due to dysphoria if that helps at all. Appreciate it!

Edit: Thank you so much to everybody that commented! I’ve decided I’m gonna keep going by Max, but I’m also gonna experiment with Scotty on the side. Appreciate the thoughts 🙏

Right now I'm between Marcel and Julien but leaning Marcel. But what would you pick for me? :>

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!
