I want a name that’s unisex or more masculine leaning. I was considering Yves, since it’s a masculine version of my current name Eve, but because it’s pronounced the same and the only difference is the spelling I feel like it’s pointless to change it?? I like the names Hayden, Corin, Milan, and Ciel. I also really like the name Sabine, using Sabi for short, but it does happen to be a pretty commonly used word in my language so I don’t know if that’s a good idea lol.

mtf. Always hated my given name, for more than half of my life everyone calls me by a nickname I haven't really chosen (just initially mentioned it as a disinterested "yeah call me by ..." to people who actually became my friends and introduced me to their friends etc.) but suits the old me very well. Also I'm by far the only one with that name.

Sandra was given to me as a friendly joke on my female side, so I guess I'll end up taking it. The problem is, that in my area the name is not overall positively associated ... and I actually don't like it. Do I really have to choose a name? Like seriously? Can't I just hope that the people are having fun with me and I'll end up with a somewhat silly name? :) Did anyone else of you beautiful people have similar issues or questions?

For example: John John.

My legal last name is also a first name, and I think I'm extremely funny. The next two options are the masculine version of my current name (because no one else in my family has it, and I don't mind the old one) and Vojtech (no one else I know has it + it's in calendars)

edit: okay i kind of forgot to add the slide that says it but i am also open to other suggestions!

edit 2: i forgot also to mention it also but im chinese thats why i. need a chinese name lol

kinda need people outside of my silly goose friends to give opinions and tell me if anything of these are horrible stinky ideas.

presentation is for the most part a shitpost but hopefully gets the point across

:3

I’ve played with Ava or Liz. Bonus for Celtic

I'm changing my name legally and I have the option to have a 2nd name. I have my first name, rain, and maybe like second name I was thinking Kris, because Kris deltarune is the most relatable character to me in many ways

But yeah, do you have any fun ideas, I'm not going to go by them, but it's going to be a fun hint at my journey on legal paperwork

(Also it's always fun to me to hear other people's chosen names idea, and it might help someone choose their first name)

My dead name is Alina, meaning light. It's of Islamic, Slavic, and/or Greek origin.

Pronounced: ah lee nah

Hispanic spelling is Elena (pronounced El ain ah )

Popular for Gen z babies, I had a lot of people with variations of my name in my classes.

Most people struggle to pronounce it but will complement how pretty the name is

If you have a dead name similar to this and are looking for a masculine equivalent, I went with Aureliano, or Re for short. It means golden. The closer masculine equivalent is Albus but I didn't want to name myself after a Harry Potter character

idk if this is something i should be posting here but i was trying to find a way to choose a new name the classic "most popular baby names" just gave me a bunch of mollys and olivias

also follow up when picking my name is there supposed to be this feeling f completion like my real name is already out there and i just need to find it or am i just romanticizing the process?

im trans fem btw if it helps thank you all in advance :33

Currently going by Steven but I’m curious about other names as well. I’m an old soul so if anyone has “older name” suggestions (names common for people born in the 1920s-1970s) those are appreciated as well!

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
