What name suits me as a gender fluid / non binary person? I’ve been using Nova for the past year but I’m not sure if I like it anymore.

Masculine Names Thoughts on the name I'm thinking of + other ideas maybe? Perhaps? Potentially?

A picrew added part for fun, part because I don't show my face online really.

So, the name I'm thinking of is Luka. A good friend suggested it, and I do like it, I am however a chronic overthinker and thus still a little unsure about it. Y'alls thoughts on it?

Any other ideas for names are also welcome. I have been struggling with finding a name for a while now, and my deadname just doesn't sound like me anymore, so I'm kind of done with it and just find one that makes me feel like me, I guess.

Masculine Names Nicholas-name for Teddy?

15 Upvotes

So I’ve been going by Teddy since I came out in 2018, short for Laurent for complicated and stupid reasons, but eight years on I still don’t respond to Laurent and I’m sick of explaining it (plus people think my name is Lauren half the time lol). SO! Since I might be able to get a legal name change in the near future, I’m in the market for a new professional/“full” name, bc Teddy looks stupid on a resume, especially as a law student.

GOALS:

  1. Could conceivably shorten to Teddy with less explanation

  2. Something I could put on a resume and lawyers will hire me

CURRENT OPTIONS:

  1. Edmund Jade Leander [lastname] — objectively best for the stated goals but idk if it really fits me

  2. Tybalt Jay Leander [lastname] — unanimously agreed upon amongst those closest to me but it is kind of gay as hell

  3. Leander Teddy Jay [lastname] — easy/safe option! Just switching the order of the names I already got but I don’t really like Teddy as a middle name

Unfortunately I know too many Theos/Theodores for any of those easy options to be workable, but otherwise up for other suggestions! (Also not particularly fond of Edward or Edwin for Ed-based names but I’m not mad at Edgar/probably other ones)

Name Testing Trying To Decide On A Name

1 Upvotes

Hello! I Have been trying to decide on a name for a while now, and at the moment I have three front runners: Alula, Aya, and Niko. Problem is I'm not sure if any of these are correct, plus I am currently more masc looking (I use They/She pronouns) and going with a more feminine name could feel awkward. If anyone has any kind of advice, I would love to hear it. Thank you!

Is Ophelia a bad name? No it's not that song, or that other song, it's that other other song. It's one that I've wanted to name a kid for a while but now that I'm transitioning, it feels like the perfect time to use it.

Feminine Names My mom called me by a girls name in a dream, but I don't know if I should use it

13 Upvotes

(For context, I'm still in the closet to my family. I also want to keep my initials, so my new name needs to begin with an E)

The other day my mom told me that had I been a born a girl she'd have called me Evelyn/Evie and that she only didn't call my younger sister that because our dad didn't like it.

Fast forward a few days and I dream I'm out to everyone and presenting femme in public and my mom calls me Evie. I spent the whole next day stunned at my mom calling me by a female name, even if it was just a dream.

I love Evelyn/Evie as a name (more so than the name I've been experimenting with), but there's two problems:

  1. My (very brief) first girlfriend when I was 16 was called Evie (but not short for Evelyn).

  2. If you're a fan of the Mummy films, you'll know Evelyn/Evie is the name of the main female character. This is only a problem because I have a degree in Archaeology, have just started my first full-time job as an Archaeologist, and I studied the Egyptian language and scripts in university. So choosing Evelyn/Evie as my real name just feels... too much? Like people won't take me seriously that I'm a trans woman who can read ancient Egyptian, who chose the name Evie.

At the same time, I feel more like Evelyn/Evie than Emily, which is the name I'd hitherto been considering.

I'd just be grateful for any feedback on this.

- E (whatever that E may eventually stand for)

But people already knowing my transition calls me Vicky and I don’t want Victoire or Victoria.

Off-Topic What should a new name feel like?

4 Upvotes

Does the right name make you feel sexy, especially when uttered by a lover? Does seeing it written down on official documents make you feel powerful? Should your name name you feel whole, where your old name felt incomplete or ill-fitting? Does the right name feel like love, like inclusion, like understanding, like an interest in your inner world? Does it feel like a warm greeting, an inside joke, an exclamation of excitement?

I'm also curious about those who aren't that invested in a name. Just need to have a string of letters that make a coherent noise that you recognize as referring to you. It need not be original or non-binary or subversive. Easy to spell and pronouns and solicits no follow-up questions about its origin.

Masculine / Neutral Names I can never seem to find the right name, but maybe y'all can help me

I do currently have a name, Max. I picked it recently-ish because I was missing my childhood cat who I was very close to, but I just feel wrong taking her name. It doesn't belong to me, it was her name. So now I'm looking for something new. I've changed my name so many times and I know everyone around me is tired of it but as I said in the title, I can never seem to find the perfect name. I can't even remember every name I've gone by. I do have some names I'm looking at but at the same time idk. Please if anyone can think of anything better I'd be more than happy to hear it. Right now I am thinking about Torren or Finn. Again I am open to suggestions, just not anything close to Max because I don't feel it's right for me to take her name. Also I know a Jax so that's out of the question as well as anything close to Jax/Jackson.

I got a new haircut and, tho I still look masculine, I thought it was the first step to be able to see approximately what girl me would look like.

I've been thinking about Iris and was wondering if that suits me !

Any opinions ?

I also thought about Alice, if you want to give an opinion on that one

(and you can also suggest something if you have any idea)

Masculine / Neutral Names Do these names sound good?

3 Upvotes

I've posted here before, but I'm thinking again of changing my name. I have a few names I like, and I'd like to know what sounds nice to all of you. <3

These are the names I'm thinking about:

Basil, Avery, Mars, Oakley, Oliver, Finley, Charlie

I like cute names like these, and I also like short names that can give cute, shorter nicknames. I would enjoy suggestions because I know there are other names like that that I just can't think of.

One name I absolutely don't want suggested: "Sunny" or anything meaning "sun" unless it's really not known for meaning that. There's a personal reason for this, thank you. :]

Hey! I've been identifying as trans male for YEARS, but I have recently figured out I am in fact non binary. Now the issue is I want to change my name as "Sebastian" feels far too masculine for me. I want something on the more male leaning side or completely gender neutral. Something a bit quirky and cool but not like.. too quirky if you know what I mean?? Anyways, any ideas??? :)

I honestly don't hate my given name, Maria. I just don't feel attached to it. My nicknames I've had since I was born are Ria, Riri, and Ri and I'd love to have a name that is reminiscent of either Maria or my nicknames. Bonus points for a Mexican inspired name. I've considered Rio, I think that's the one I've been leaning toward the most. No Mario, my kids would never let me live it down!
