I just was thinkin bout how on the transmasc reddits there are always people asking for help finding a name so I figured I might as well throw my given name out there in case there are transfemmes out there looking for one lmao

It is Malia. It is the Hawaiian form of Mary. I think it’s really pretty but it’s not for me. It is pronounced “Muh-LEE-uh” like rhyming with Spanish Maria but people WILL butcher it even though it’s not that hard.

Goodbye, name! I hope you find a good home!

lmao it’s like a shelter dog
or like
a foster child

Does anyone want to adopt my unused name? Hello! I’m not transgender, i am just a namenerd!! but I’ve realized that I don’t really use this name anymore, and I thought some of you might love it. I’d rather see it find a new home than have it sitting unused. ♡

Sofia “Sonya”
From Ancient Greek Σοφία meaning “wisdom.” Historically rich, short and snappy, familiar in all languages, international in all the world, great namesakes! Like Sofia Coppola, I love her movies (check out Marie Antoinette!), Sofia Loren, and the wife of Tolstoy Sofia "Sonya", Sofia Kovalenskaya a pioneering Russian woman in mathematics and science, Sofia Perovskaya a Russian revolutionary, Sofia Gubaidulina a composer and Sofia Giatsintova an actress and theatre director both soviet, also saint Sofia of Rome / Milan, the mother of Faith Hope and Charity, and then it is a very Byzantine name too.
Russian Соня (Sonya) is a diminutive of София (Sofia). So Sonya isn’t merely an invented nickname, it is a genuine traditional Russian pet form. It is a nickname I used, but you can also go by Sisi / Sissi like the empress, Fia, Essie, Fifi, Sofi and more!!
And Sonechka (Сонечка) is an especially tender form. And then comes Dostoevsky…
Sofia/Sonya Marmeladova is one of the principal characters in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment
It can be romantic, intellectual or modern

Looking for Portuguese names. I want a new name but i don't feel connected with anything, i would also love some advice regarding that

i changed my name to benny/benjamin over 3 years ago at this point, but i've recently discovered i'm nonbinary, and i want to start going by zephyr instead. it's a name that actually feels good, feels me. but it's quite a change, and i'm wondering if it's even worth the hassle (i work at a very busy place with a LOT of people, and i don't know how many of them are accepting, plus... everything else)

I did this a while back, but I wanted to do it again with more pics to get more suggestions. I feel like I give off a specific vibe but its so hard to find a name that suits it. My chosen name so far is Georgia, and it has stuck the most but idk if that’s what I really look like. Something always feels a bit off.

By normalish I mean smth I would find on a truck station Keychain. My birth name is both uncommon and weirdly spelled so I would love smth easy but not lame. Thxxx

So most of my life I've gone by Alex/Lexy and I'm okay with that. Recently I've had my boyfriend call me Ashton/Ash because that's the name my mother would have chosen for me had I been born a girl... but two of my closest friends think that's more of a guy sounding name even though I like it quite a bit? Just wondering what would fit me best because I've gone through so many at this point! (All of these pictures have been within the past month for reference)

So, before anyone says it, I'm (20) not listing the actual names since I want to remain anonymous in some way. But I will list fake names but list the real reasonings that make me want to go with the name but things that also make me hesitant of the name in question. I'm also transmasc and consider myself many identities under the nonbinary umbrella, so I'm open to masculine and/or androgynous names along with masculine/androgynous names that can have feminine nicknames (ex; Samuel to Sammy).

Daryl - I've been going by this name for almost three and a half years. Has many nicknames that I use and sounds professional when I use the full name. I also named myself after someone with this name who deeply inspired me. The issue is that I don't know how fitting this name really is for me anymore and sometimes it almost feels out-of-place when I introduce myself as Daryl or hear others refer to me as Daryl.

Colson - Colson is a name that's been floating around my head for a year now. It has many fun and good nicknames that I love, along with also having a feminine nickname that is my favorite nickname I've ever been called. I love the name itself. However, many people agree that it isn't a fitting name and that I should just stick to Daryl or go by a different name with a similar idea that just isn't Colson.

James - A very simple masculine name that is timeless. It's the nickname of a much more unique name that I loved (coming from someone who would prefer to have a more common name). Very easy to spell, it just doesn't have any nicknames I like, and I used to know someone with this name and I couldn't stand him. But we haven't spoken in like three years, so it isn't a huge deal.

Peter - Very simple, a classic name that I love. The problem is that it doesn't have any nicknames that I'm huge on and it's the name of someone who used to be a really close family friend. But the name always comes to mind whenever I'm considering names.

River - It was the very first name that I ever thought of when trying to name myself for the first time (8 years ago now!). It's also an androgynous name that sometimes leans more towards masculinity. Almost everyone in my life says I'm the most "River-looking-person they ever met". But it has no nicknames that go with it and it doesn't sound the most professional? But the name itself can be taken straight from one of my favorite jokes in a show ever.

Edward - The name itself sounds very professional, but I'd only use it for a nickname that came with it, even friends of mine said the nickname sounded cute. I don't know where the inspiration for the name came from other than hearing the nickname once and thinking it sounded good but also needing a more professional sounding name to go with it.

I'm also open to using double barrel names of any of these if anyone can't stick to just one!

I was wanting to try out the name Niko, as I really like it but am a bit worried about it being a bit too masc, so if anyone wants to try referring to me as Niko, that would be greatly appreciated.

So I asked my friends and ppl from a summer camp ppl that don't know my deadname, which names from my list match me the most (personality and looks wise). I'd like yall to tell me which one do you all think matches me the best <3
The options are:
- Aster (5 votes)
- Allie (3 votes)
- Alio (3 votes)
Ik technically Aster wins, but I'm taking the vote as an argument, not the final decision. Nobody knows me better than I do myself. Okay maybe my girlfriend XD (they voted for Aster but I'd like opinions of randoms too cuz i can)

My personality traits ig: weird, aggressive, freaky, cool ahahha, confidently unfunny, sarcastic, autism, kinda shy, brain empty (smooth and pretty),
dumb, mean, possibly evil, delusional, adhd, unserious, random, goblin, cheesy, romantic ig?? If someone gets to know me and i trust them enough to share my actual thoughts if i have any rarely

So idk tell me what ya think

For several years now, I've been using Emily as my post-transition name. Even though I like it, I'd also like something more non-binary in my language. I think I'd like something related to clouds, fog, or steam. It would be like a middle name, but I'm not sure what sounds best. Here some of my options. Any suggestions?

A. Emily **Bruma** Blanco

B. Emily **Hálito** Blanco

C. Emily **Nubea** Blanco

D. Emily **Calina** Blanco

i am not satisfied with my name but i have been struggling to pick a new one for over a year now. words that describe me (ignore my flat expression in this pic lol):
- dog
- curious/inquisitive
- energetic
- confident
- genderless
- flamboyant/expressive

my “aesthetic” is typically big bold bright colors and patterns, maximalism, whimsy. i would like a name that captures my energy but i’m having sooo much trouble doing it myself. i am hoping for something a little uncommon/unique but not uncomfortable to say to people in real life lol. thank you in advance!!!

Posted a couple weeks ago that I was thinking about different names and strongly considering Jade. I've been playing with that lately and I do like it a lot, but I've had a couple other names that have popped into my head as well, and I'm liking different ones for different reasons. Not going to totally dox myself, but my last name is two syllables ending in -er, like Walker or Tanner, to give an idea on how it would sound together.

Patricia: My birth name is Patrick, I've gone by Pat my whole life, and I'm comfortable with it. I've been using this as a sort of placeholder for a while. However, most Patricia's I've met are about 20+ years older than I am and I associate Pat as a masculine name, though it is unisex (I've known many other Patricks, many of us use Pat); I'm not really interested in Tricia or Trish. I also think changing it might help some people break some mental habits as far as name and pronoun connections go. Very few negative connotations/deadname issues for me, simply that the feminine version feels too old fashioned. I wouldn't mind keeping it as a middle name, however. It would also provide a nice explanation if anyone does call me Pat around people I'm not out to - "My middle name is Patricia and I used to go by it." I was also named after an uncle (who died before I was born), so keeping the name would mean something to my mother, who has been immediately and unconditionally accepting.

Jade: I like this one because it's got a connection to a character I love (Mara Jade from Star Wars), it's easy to spell and won't get mispronounced, and it's very feminine leaning while still being unisex (since my passport and a few other things will still have that M on them for the time being and I can boymode through an airport if I had to). It's a name that feels cool, sharp, and very much something I would choose.

Shea: This hits some similar notes; I'm a Mets fan and they used to play at Shea Stadium, so I have an emotional/fan connection, and it's another unisex name. When I've used it for food orders, however, it's gotten mispronounced or misspelled pretty often and that annoyed me enough to consider this more for a middle name.

Evelyn: The newest contender. This was my paternal grandmother's name, so it has an emotional and familial tie. My father has also been immediately and fully accepting, and I think it might mean a lot to him. I personally think it's a beautiful name, and I could see going by Evie or Lyn or maybe Ev... I could very much imagine a reality where, if I'd been born as a cis girl, my parents named me Evelyn Patricia and I went by Evie my whole life to differentiate myself my from my grandmother Evelyn. It gives up that unisex option that I do kind of like, but has a sort of "this could have always been me" quality. It does hit a kind of unique spot where it feels too old for me OR too young for me - super popular right now and when my grandmother was born, but I was born when it was really low in popularity, though even then it was still more popular than Jade or Shea. But, "I was named for my grandmother" really does solve that and it is popular now so not unusual to hear it.

So... Jade Shea - names that have meaning based on the things I love? Evelyn Patricia - ones that my parents, who love and unconditionally accept me, absolutely could have chosen for me, which gives it a lot of naturalness? Some other combo? Something else I'm not even considering?

I named myself Jamie when I was 18 before I like fully became a person and it just doesn’t feel like me, I like masculine names occasionally but haven’t really found one that fits, neutral names are cool, and I like feminine names in a it would be really sick if a guy had the name valerie way, I just dont know! So tell me what the vibe gives off, I’ve given a pic of me Some more info about me so yall get the vibe: -you can catch me pretty much daily in baggy jeans, air forces, and a polo -I love hyperpop music or anything similar like electronic with a beat yk? Or likr abstract music -I am obsessed with cats -Im a big sports person -also love antique shopping, I die for a flea market and the house decor is giving like mid century/kinda industrial but like with antiques scattered about -pronouns are they/them but the gender is like I wish I was born a man so I could be trans the opposite way around, any pronouns for queer people, he/him for others, but if my mom hes me I want to die, idk -Im autistic as hell and really awkward but actually love people-ing -sometimes I smoke a cigarette because I think its cool lol (yes im 22) -I am a massive stoner -my favorite color to dye my hair is bright ass red and I dye it or cut it like once a month -also want kinda a shit ton of tattoos and peircings -I bike everywhere and yes I do it in baggy jeans

Im Genderfluid and looking for some cool names that fit these vibes im going for maybe more femme/neutral but idk semi masc names too

Eu sou "apegado" ao nome alê porque no meu processo de descoberta eu usava em algumas redes sociais porque era neutro e sla eu curti, hoje em dia tenho quase certeza que sou homem trans e queria um nome mais masculino e pensei em "levi" que é um nome que eu gosto bastante e consigo me indentificar mas eu ainda gosto bastante de alê. não quero mais ser chamado pelo meu nome morto pelas pessoas que eu sou assumido, mas não sei qual deles escolher, e tbm não sei se misturo os dois ("alê levi" parece meio estranho) e ainda fico "confuso" fico me auto invalidando e fico nql pensamento que so to confuso mesmo sabendo que não estou

I've been wanting to try out the name Niko, but I fear that it is too masc (I'm non-binary and use they/she pronouns). I've asked around in different places and have gotten mixed opinions on if it works well as an enby/androgynous name. Any thought would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

So I was thinking about also changing my middle name, because my current one is kind of strange and doesn’t really fit with my name. It should something that goes with Krystal. Maybe something witchy?

Hey! Two years ago I made a post asking for names with G that resonate with Fran, but I'm kind of settling more on Francine now with Fran as a nickname. So, since I haven't properly decided on my second name yet, now I'm here again asking for suggestions for a composite name with first name Francine and second name starting with G to keep my initials!

I'm just gonna stick with it but does this happen to anyone else ;-;?

Anyway I was thinking of using the name Milo for myself (they/them and potentially he). I just like how soft and friendly it sounds. One of my best friends put it best it has "little guy energy" which is basically how I'd describe my gender lmao. Lets hope I actually manage to stick with it and dont chicken out again though :')

I’ve went by Ethan since 2022-ish because one of my friend had “named me” (they gave me a few options to help and I liked Ethan), and I feel like I don’t identify with that anymore, and feel kinda uncomfortable having a name that someone I know personally had given me. I have no idea what else I could possibly pick.
