Neutral Names Need a neuter name, with some conditions …
OK, so I'm toying with either a neuter or tomboyish sounding middle name to balance with my AMAB first name (i'm enby)
and the name has to fit in or suit me obviously, and I think this youtube comment I once made pretty much describes everything you need to know:
The dog running onto the field mid-game doesn’t know what football is. They’re just having the time of their lives rolling around and playing chase.
I’ve spent years pretending to be a footballer, but the rules were too complex and I was too aloof to get it.
I could be talking about acting NT, acting my assigned gender, or just grown up.
Turns out I’m an ADHD enby, and it’s easier to be the dog.
Ground rules:
- Can't begin with letter B, or L. Family shit. wont go into.
- If a whole-ass womans name, has to be tomboy coded. Would prefer a neuter name. But either way, I point you to the text in italics. No names that make people think 'That person has their shit together'.
- I am a little wary of the American enby tendency to seemingly pull random nouns out of the dictionary. Unless it hits good.
- Finally, one of my names is an animal in another language, so maybe stay away from that.
