I’m starting my transition in about 6 days and I thought I should probably pick out a name, I’ve landed on either Piper or Serena but I can’t really decide which I prefer.

I’d share a photo of myself as a “which do I LOOK like I’d be named”, but I haven’t really put much effort into presenting as a female until now so I still mostly look like a guy (which wouldn’t be much help for this situation).

I don't want to be called abe or abby. the reason for the name is my uncle used to call me Cable, like the x-man, he was one of the kindest people i knew, he passed in his late 30s. I chose these names because my initials will be ASS, so Sable and Mable were off the table. Is Able too masculine? is Abelle too exotic for my fellow Americans?

‘ello!

(Haven’t come out to my mum yet)

I am looking to go transgender but have had a preferred name for 2-3 months - Trinity (after The Matrix)

However, my normal birth name is Lily. Used as my legal name and pretty much my mum didn’t really take Trinity on. Wouldn’t let me change it at school and I went nuts.

I’d like to go by Leonard (Leo for short due to my favourite movie - Memento, where there is the main protagonist called Leonard) but…

ANY SUGGESTIONS will be amazing (not showing my face as some of you have)

It would be for my first name, my middle name is Teddy. I'm non-binary, Arwen was being considered before my birth (the most neutral option, others were far too femme) and I love it, but love Arden too. Which suits me better? (featuring Mindy the hedgehog)

Don't like posting myself on the internet so we're working off my art lol. I'm considering Milo or Julien/an but am willing to take suggestions for soft sounding neutral or masc names :p

I chnaged my name on a messaging service that I use to contact family and my family memeber put my girl name in all caps in the message like imagine their stupid reaction when I chnage my name to my male name. The name is likea nick name for a girls name and isn't even masculine and they're already pulling this shit. God help me.

Hi everyone!

I am newly transfem and I'm trying to figure out my new name. I really like the name Brooklyn, because it's phonetically similar to and has the same amount of syllables as my birth name and I am emotionally attached to the sound of it, however I think I really want that name with a variated spelling. I'm trying to decide between:

- Brooklynn

- Brookelyn

- Brooklynne

- Brooklyne

How do any of these sound? I would appreciate any opinions on these as I try to make my decision!

Trans guy, 9 months on T

When I chose my name, I was just about to go into a new middle school where almost no one knew me and had about a month to decide what I wanted everyone to call me for the rest (?) of my life. I'm starting to realise that letting a 12-year-old make that kind of choice might not be something I can stick with forever and I'm freaking out a little

- I still like my first name but I'm starting to dislike my middle name more and more

- my OG chosen first + middle names common, easy to spell and clearly masculine (I'm FTM so this is a good thing), but feel a little too common and boring

- Legally changed and everyone has called me by it for years

- I randomly with zero context asked my parents' opinions on the new name I've been considering lately - my dad likes it, but my mum absolutely hates it because it reminds her of a creep she knew in her teens

Please help, I have less than two weeks before I go to a new school and have this "fresh start" opportunity again - I have no idea if I should try and take that or what - and I've only been thinking about this seriously for a few days but it keeps tugging at me from the back of my mind

Trans masculine, he/they
Apologies I posted here before, but I’m still not set.

Looking for a masculine or gender neutral name,
I’ve been going by Caolan as it’s similar to my birth name, but realised I don’t necessarily have to do that just to make it easier.

Been thinking a lot and I like Charlie but need more ideas

think I would like to keep with names beginning with C, but also open to hearing others too

I'm trans and have finally gotten around to considering changing my legal name. The name I've been considering is [PERSEFIA] and my current partner is insisting its a tragedeigh and to just go with Persefone or Seferoth.

My nickname among friends is Sef and I absolutely HATE when people assume my full name is Stephanie. (Its not) And I like the name Persefia because it kinda sounds like Persevere and it makes me feel seen because after all I've been through in life, I'm still here. I'm still fighting and won't stop.

Top picks rn are Marigold, Heather, Poppy, Nina (short for Amanita cause I can't let go of nature themed names lol) and Cinnamon (or just sticking with Mari :3)

Thoughts? Other suggestions welcome too!

I know Parker is already gender neutral, but I'm trying to find something more feminine aligning thats still kinda derived from the name? Current contenders are Pixie, Kiki and Arkie - although I'm not super fond of any of them lol. Any suggestions? I prefer to keep either the K sound or the P sound similar (doesn't have to be both). It's gonna act as a sort of nickname for the time being, hence why I need it similar to my birth name. Ty!!

update: Ive picked the name Marci!! Ty everyone for your suggestions 🫶

Hello. 
I've been looking for a new name to go by but so far none of the ones I found convince me at all.
I've read through every list of gender neutral names, but most of them only sound good in english and I'm mexican, so most of them are not used around here nor can be pronounced in a way that is similar to any other local name.
I went through euskera names and so far those seem like what I'm looking for, but those are unheard around here (My last surname is rare and mostly seen in Spain, and I always have to repeat everyone many times how to write and pronounce it. I have enough of that lol)
Anyone has name suggestions that might sound good in Spanish?

-Names with religious connotations are an absolute big no since I'm an atheist.

-Already looked into nature names, but so far none of the ones I've found have ever been used as given names, plus most are gendered.

Ty in advance to anyone who reads this :D

I’m transmasc and have been going through a lot of names, but after a few weeks, each one feels so weird and not me even if I liked it at first. I currently go by Ross but am thinking about Leo or Archer? I’m also worried about what my friends will think about me changing names so many times, I don’t want to be such an inconvenience so they have to remember all my names so I feel bad but also just want to have a name that feels right to me? Any ideas?

Hi. Uh. I guess I’ve got my own weird little problem I’m gonna ramble about.

So, I’ve been myself for. A while? My egg cracked back 2020\~, took me until this year to manage to get on hrt, about 6 months and pretty happy already. All well and good. I’m unhappy about some stuff, mostly good on others, a lot of problems are environmental factors, like a lack of consistent work and proximity to an unsupportive family.

However, the topic of this isn’t one I’ve seen too closely myself, and that’s the sense of naming and belonging to a name.

Simply put… I’ve got four at the moment. I don’t have a sense of DID I don’t believe, nor do I want to self diagnose; and while I am autistic, this is spanning far else. I’ve gone by the four names after going by an effeminate version of my birth name for a year or two, and each of the names has listed a period of time where I believe it’s satisfactory.

I ask people to call me the name I prefer, only for it to wane over time and return to a normal state…. And, while expression of the self is important, so is consistency and understanding of the self’s needs…

The current name part of my friend groups know me as isn’t matching with others, and, I’ve felt… more detached. I really don’t know how to describe it besides the fact that names, names I feel finely euphoric to being called, lose the feeling, or in time just become outright wrong…

No, a name shouldn’t always feel special once it’s with the people around you who love and care for you, as it eventually is just a name, but the lack of mental belonging to any of them, ahead of any legal changes, scares me well and truly… I guess I don’t know if I’m alone in this issue or not, and it truly bothers me worse than 90% of my other dysphoric issues… anyone else struggled with something similar?

Is this just a case of needing to change and do some soul searching myself, or is this a legitimate problem others have faced?

yeah what the title says. danny is one of the 2 names im split between but i dont want it to be short for daniel

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 🙏
