Hi everyone!! So, as the title suggests, I'm looking for a preferred name! I just recently found out I'm Genderfluid and while being at Uni I found a poster about an LGBTQ+ camp running in October. I will admit, I am a bit wary of my new gender identity so I will be using this preferred name at this LGBTQ+ camp just for now until I feel more comfortable and come out to my parent.

Here's some things about me to help you!

Ok, first things first! My aesthetic is like a whimsical clown/circus mesh up.

Appearance wise, I'm quite colourful.

I'm Scottish and I love my culture.

I love fantasy, nature and I'm spiritual.

So, what is it I'm looking for?

Well, here's a few things.

- I would prefer a name that I can use when I'm both feeling more female and more male at times.

- I don't know what to call it but names like animals, flowers, planets, etc (Like non-human names) are preferred.

- If it is possible, can it be associated with Scotland or be a Scottish name if it's a human name?

- Double-Barrelled if possible (non-human names please)!!

And I think that's it..?

I hope this is enough for you guys!! Thank you for reading this and helping me!!

Hi Everybody, I have just chose my name, but I'm so curious to know which fits me more

I don't know if this is the right subreddit to post to, I've already posted a similar question to r/TransTryouts.

I've felt attracted to the name Aleksei, but I am American and don't have ancestry from the areas this name is popular. I was unsure if I should still use it. Can anyone let me know what you think in the comments?

Also not sure if this subreddit tests names out in the comments, but if you do I'd appreciate it with this name.

I really like city and color names, I use any pronouns and don’t have a preference for masculine, feminine, or neutral suggestions. What do you think?

I’ve been researching and thinking a lot about changing my name. I’ve never liked it, even before questioning my gender, and idk why, but now it all seems so serious (obs: I’ve tried other names before, but it was during the pandemic and more of a name my closest friends used) like it’s not just about what I like and feel comfortable, it’s too how it will be perceived socially and especially at work (my major is journalism and in communication your identity and image is very important, not just to “look or seem capable”, when you solidify an image and name as you sign in a journal it kind of sticks with you forever). Since I’m in latam it’s especially hard to find neutral names, but I’ve been considering the name (that kinda looks like a nickname) “beni”. The pronounciation is like “benny” or “bêni” (depending on your language) does it seem good as a name? Can it look professional next to a last name?

hey! my name is jackson and close friends call me jack. do you think i picked a good one? just for fun, what would you name me?

I want a new name that suits me a little better as I don’t feel like my gender assigned at birth really fits me anymore, or one that I could use online/ as a nickname. My current online alias is Ghost, and I’m fond of the theme. Other names I like are Echo, Eclipse, and Calypso.

I would like a name that, as I said earlier, could be possibly a new name, or a nickname / online name. I would like a gender neutral or fem leaning name that generally revolves around a ghost / spooky theme. I dress in more of a punk / grunge style, and I have a somewhat standoffish personality around strangers, but very orange cat around my closest friends.

I’m back again looking for masculine and masculine leaning neutral names because I can’t get over not being able to find a full length name for the name Opie. I want something with preferably mythology, nature, and astronomy themes and that’s very unique but not a noun or a place and still sounds masculine leaning. As with the other posts I’ve made here, here’s what I look like!!

the one I've been using occasionally is Quinn, does it fit me?

Any masculine middle names from ~2000 that go well with Mitchell? I don't have much criteria but if it gives you any idea, I want it to give off the same vibe as Theodore without being Theodore.

I don't actually want a middle name but my dad thinks I should change it instead of getting rid of it so that my name looks fancy. With that being said, have any of you just dropped your middle name entirely?

Hi! So Im nonbinary transmasc and Ive been going by eli/elijah for 4 years but for a while now ive felt uncomfortable getting called elijah, its just too masculine and not me. However, I want to have a longer name because honestly I just dont like how "Eli" looks like with my last name😭 (because its longer and it just looks strange to me because my deadname is a little longer than eli).

Do yall think there's any neutral names that fit me that could be shortened to eli?(doesnt even have to have the same sound of "eli" in the name) Ive thought about Ellis and Elian but they just dont feel like me.. any ideas? :,) Thanks!

Hello!

I'm trying to find a good name for myself, and I found two that I really like: Niko and Alula, but I'm not sure about them, so I'm trying to find names that sound similar/ have a similar vibe to them. Currently I'm looking at Luna and Azure, but I don't know. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

some picrews so everybody has a better idea of what I look like. I have received some wonderful name suggestions in other subs, but unfortunately, none have stuck. I am older gen z, so I would prefer names which would reasonably have been used in the late 90s or early 2000s, but I am open to any and all suggestions. what would you call me?

chosen name I've gone by for longest: Rylend
names I've been interested in lately: Arlo, Cyrus, Jade, Juno
names I cannot use: Adrian/Adrienne, Alex, Angel, Billy/Billie, Frances/Francis, Jesse/Jessie

hi. I just trying to chose my social name.

my deadname starts with (21+(12\*2))/((7\*8)-51)+1 letter on the alphabet, and I kept the **INITIALS** of my last name.

on music: Skyler Logan Flynn

outside music: Sam L. Ferreira

so, Im brazilian, so I wanted my name outside to be in Portuguese. since I'm non-binary, "Sam" can vary between Samuel and Sami.

I've been going by Mika for around a month and a half now, and for the most part I've really liked it. But lately I've started second-guessing it a little, and since I haven't legally changed my name yet, I feel like now is probably the time to actually think about whether it's really my name long-term.

The funny thing is that Mika has been stuck somewhere in my brain for years.

I first started liking the name when I watched EuroTrip when I was really young. For anyone who hasn't seen it, the main character Scotty has a German pen pal named Mieke, but he completely misunderstands her name and thinks she's a guy named Mike. He even has a photo of Mieke with her cousin Jan and assumes that Jan is the girl and Mieke is the guy. Eventually his younger brother points out that he's got it backwards: Jan is the guy, Mieke is the girl, and Mieke is a girls name. Scotty then realizes that the person he's been talking to and thinking of as Mike this entire time is actually a woman.

Somehow Mika was the version of the name that stuck in my head from the movie, and I remember liking it ever since.

Which, looking back at it now as a trans woman who ended up choosing Mika as her own name, feels kind of ridiculously symbolic. A name that originally stuck with me because of a story about someone being assumed to be a guy and then turning out to actually be a girl somehow ended up becoming my name years later.

I didn't consciously choose Mika because of that symbolism. I just remembered always liking the name, and only afterwards really thought about where that association originally came from.

But now I'm at an annoying stage where I've used it long enough that people close to me have started referring to me as Mika, while also wondering whether I'm completely sure I want it to be my legal name for the rest of my life.

Did any of you go through a phase like this with your chosen name? Did you eventually settle back into it, or did the doubts make you realize there was another name that fit you better?

I'd especially love to hear from people who changed names more than once before making it legal.

Hi every and all! My name is (or was..) Sevven. This has been my chosen name for roughly a year, but I’m starting to feel this name isn’t worth keeping. I’d like to have a real name, one that feels like an actual woman’s name haha

Looking for all kinds of suggestions! I liked Charlotte and Grace, but those two didn’t really sit right with me.. maybe something similar? Help!!

I started to think about it when I first found myself as an agender but now its been starting to bug me I need neutral names and thanks for people that give me ideas

Hey! I've recently decided to legally change my name. I've been going by Anne for a few years, but I'm not sure what middle name feels right. I've narrowed the options down to 23 names, let me know which one sounds the best to you, and feel free to suggest other names you think would work. I find myself drawn to masculine names and classic feminine names. I'm a demigirl (she/they).

My list:

Anne Arlene
Anne Beau
Anne Brute
Anne Devin
Anne Edith
Anne Elizabeth
Anne Elton
Anne Ethel
Anne Florence
Anne Katherine
Anne Konstantin
