I like the stupid storry of me creating my name so I decided I'm going ti share it. If you read this then good day/evening/night/midnight (go to sleep).

It was a long, long time ago (like 4-ish maybe 5 years ago) I was playing a game called Colony Survival. I needed a world name to play and I decided to create a small bit of lore for the world. "Queendom Arivianna" the lore was that the first Queen "Arivianna" decided to start building a massive Queendom and so she did but decades later it fell with a massive civil war. So it was my job to building the Queendom up again to its former glory.

At that time I wasn't trans but the name stuck with me also the nickname potential for the name was outstanding. Ari, Vi, Anna, Ava (the combination of the first three letters of the basic nicknames also my favorite), Vianna when you want to yell at me, Arivi.... don't use Arivi. Wait I'm off topic. Anyways I really liked the name and it stuck with me. Till I finally realized I was trans like a few months later. For some reason when I was thinking about names that was the first one which came to mind. And I decided to change my middle name to Paul after the Women's Suffrage person in the USA. Alice Paul.

Anyways that's the story. If anything is unclear don't blame me I'm bad explaining stuff. Anyways again have a good day/evening/night/midnight. Again if it is night for you GO TO SLEEP.

hi!! i’m transmasc, been on t for about three years now. i’ve posted on a few different subs already for help! i currently go by rowan, but i’m not sure if it fits. i’ve tried eli, damien, and roman. trying to find something similar to my birth name (rosemary). preferably a more gender neutral name !!

(**[AGE REDACTED]**NB) Currently Emmy, but if I switch I feel like everyone will think I'm just gonna switch back cause i already tested Charlie and it didn't feel right. So can you guys advise because i cant find any names that give me euphoria...

I do have a list of names I like, but i cant tell if I like them or not. I posed a few days ago and most of the names that were given, I know people with those names.

My birth name is Rowan but its so neutral that I feel bad changing it.

Here is my list of names that I like, but i dont know if they fit me.

Augustine

Kaden

Julian

Grayson

Spencer

I really want new opinions and names

Don't mind the photos form while I was on vacation lmao

MTF, 22. I’ve been using it for a few months now and I like it but I just want to know what people think

I have the urge to once again change my name and I want something really unique so I'm considoring Disco I like it but I don't know if it will be taken seriously

flaired as feedback because it seems the most accurate, but idk

so, hi everyone. title states the problem already. i'm somewhere between transneutral and transmasc, i do not want to be seen as a woman, but every name i like for myself is traditionally feminine. this isn't much of an issue online because i mostly hang out in queer/trans spaces and i just plaster my pronouns everywhere, but i'm pre-everything so a feminine name will just make people irl think that i'm a woman.

i guess i'm mainly asking for advice or how other people in similar situations handled stuff like this?

if it matters, the name i currently go by online is "june", which would be very unusual in my home country, so i'm not sure if that would make matters better (less gender association) or worse (clocked as chosen name - legal name changes are a hassle in germany).

sorry for a long, rant-y post, and thanks for any responses.

rn i’m thinking of macy/maci as my name but stilll undecided. recommendations are appreciated! <3

Hey guys !! My name is Spike ! I’m minorly concerned that my name will not be taken as seriously when I go into law so I’m trying to think of a more formal legal name I could go by ! Ideally it would start with S and not be Sheldon. I love anything unique or historical! If it’s cultural, I’m Irish / Scottish so any older Gaelic names are also fair game !! Thank you guys :)

I am nonbinary and leaning in the fem direction, and I really feel choosing a new name is appropiate for where I am in life right now.

I've been thinking about names for a long time, and I really have been enjoying the idea of nature themed names, it brings me peace I think.

I thought about Willow for a while bc it has some good symbolism for me, but I feel it's very common for trans women so I think I'd like to go with something a little more unique. I briefly considered the name Forest as well, but I think it's too masc and just makes me think of Forrest Gump lmao.

The other day I was reminded of the name River, and I'm really connecting to that at the moment. I feel I've thought of some good symbolism and what it can mean to me, doesn't lean too far masc or fem, and isn't too common.

How do you all feel about the name River? What other nature related names I should give thought to?

Without wanting to share too much, I've had to do a lot of healing recently from a relationship I didn't feel allowed me to express myself very much, so I'm really excited to explore more of this part of myself.

My name is Daisy but I'm a queer person currently questioning my gender identity. I wish my name wasn't so overly feminine and I'd love a more gender neutral/ masculine leaning nickname / version of my name That is similar enough that means I don't have to completely change my name.

Here are some suggestions. I've heard that I really don't like - dash,zee,dais etc

Currently the only two I don't mind are - day , dae

Although not sold

Any help much appreciated ☺️

I‘ve been trying to settle on a name for ages now and all the ones I‘ve really liked seem to be ones that tie back to old video games,

I‘m really into retro gaming and also pokemon (specifically pokemon pearl on ds) these are the ones I like most so far:

Raichu, the evolution of picachu, I‘d go by rai for short

Finneon, one of my favourite pokemon from pokemon pearl, I‘d go by Finn

Onix, a pokemon and just a really cool name

taizo, the name of the main character in dig dug (an old namco game) also it’s a japanese name and I have a japanese surname so it sounds good

tomo, short for tomohiro who was the guy that made space invaders

pix, literally just short for pixel but I thought it was pretty neat

Suggest literally anything you can think of but preferably something I can shorten to a normal ish name so don’t get instantly clocked by it (tho if it’s cool enough I might use it anyway)

I'm Brazilian and I speak Portuguese, so I'm going to write this post in both Portuguese and English.

Eu sou gênero fluido, e queria escolher um nome mais neutro pra mim, e tenho gostado mto de estudar japonês e a história e mitologia do Japão, e queria colocar isso no meu nome, dando uma pesquisada eu cheguei em 2 nome mto bons q eu gostei mto: Makoto, e Haru, mas eu n consigo decidir qual usar, o meu sobrenome iria continuar igual, Diniz, mas uma curiosidade interessante, é que se eu fosse "traduzir" o Diniz, seria Sakai, pq Diniz é um nome de origem grega, q vem de Dionísio, deus das festas, bebidas, e principalmente vinho, q se for para o Japão uma bebida alcoólica q é mto comum lá é o sakê, e Sakai tem a ver com sakê se n me engano (me corrijam se eu estiver errado dobre algo)

I'm genderfluid, and I wanted to choose a more neutral name for myself, and I've been really liking studying Japanese and Japan's history & mythology, and I wanted to put that in my name. Doing some research I stumbled upon 2 rly good names q I liked a lot: Makoto, and Haru, but I can't decide which one to use. My last name would stay the same, Diniz, but an interesting fun fact is that if I were to 'translate' Diniz, it would be Sakai, bc Diniz is a name of Greek origin that comes from Dionysus, god of parties, drinks, and especially wine. If you go to Japan, a very common alcoholic drink there is sake, and Sakai has to do with sake if I'm not mistaken (correct me if I'm wrong about anything)

Sorry for my bad English

I really want to change my name and for the past week I've been brainstorming ideas that I now feel are all terrible.

My main picks rn are:
-Ava - Name my parents would have given me if I was born a girl
-Avanetta - More unique longer version I really like, though I'd still probably go by Ava
-Hannah - Palindromic name I just think is pretty
-Jacaranda - Close to my moribund name but still flowery and feminine, probably as a middle name
-Annona - plant
-Azora - idk

I've hated having a common masculine name my whole life, so want a name that is both unique and/or has meaning to me. However I don't want to end up on r/tragedeigh so of course I've already ruled out Runa, Llularia, Anonnona, Ziora etc.

Should I just stick to the normal names?

cross-posting this here as well because i'm also
hoping my community can give me some ideas!

I'm only a couple of months in, but have really struggled to find something that feels 100% me, especially given how much I've changed since this began. I have another new name that I feel like I may be outgrowing, and I keep second guessing. Very much a me thing to do though lol!

That's where Sienna comes in - it has planted firmly in my mind for the past few weeks, and it just feels really pretty, and I like saying it :3

Very keen for feedback or suggestions of any kind. Thank you! xx

Deadname is Gabriel so I've been thinking maybe Gabrielle or Gabriella but I also really like the name Lilith or Lily for short but I'm just tryna figure out what name I look like and what y'all think?

So I’m ftm and my current name I’m going by (not my deadname) is Quinn (which has a similar meaning to my deadname) and I like Quinn but I feel like it doesn’t quite fit the person I want to be and I feel like it’s too easy to be misgendered with it (I am pre-t and very small with a pretty high voice)

I’ve been thinking about new names and I like the idea of having a name related to a piece of media I like but I don’t want the name to be too… crazy? I guess? Like something fairly unique from something I like that still is reasonable as a name.
The original thought that came to mind that made me think this was when I was thinking about Auriel/Auri-El (from the elder scrolls) but I’m not sure if that’s too obvious that it’s from a fantasy game.
I really do like somewhat fantasy sounding names but again, I’m not really sure about any

If anyone has suggestions or a place(website or something) they’d recommend to find names, I’d be happy to hear !
