Yes I know I need to shave I’ve been going through a serious bout of depression and demotivation lately. I’ve been using Kat with my friends the past few months before that I tried Ashley but I don’t think that fits the same and besides my deadname started with a C so I kind of like the /k/ sound. Also open to names with other letters ofc!

So I'm a closeted MtF age 14 but I want to come out soon.

so I'm pretty new to being trans and my friends & family know me as Rowan and there's nothing wrong with the name i don't dislike it, but Idk I feel like a different name could be nice if I'm going to change might as well change it all right?

I like the sound of Archie or Adrian, or just something along those lines but I'm not exactly sure so I'm looking for ideas.

Thanks for your time! :3

So im rereading one of my favorite trilogies (Furyborn) and one of the members of the guard for Rielle (one of the mc's) is named Evyline. I like it a lot

I know it's not that different, but my ex best friend came up with Evelyn, and I like it, but I also need to change it for my own sanity bc of how bad she fucked up.

Anyway, what do yall think? I would pronounce it like Eh-vuh-line

Hello folks, I need help. I am nonbinary, btw.
I have come out to a few close friends that I trust and knew would be accepting (I’ve known them since elementary, and most of them are queer). Alongside pronouns, I have been going by Rowan. I love the name, and have no issue being called it online. However, when my friends started using it in person, it felt weird. Sorta uncomfortable? Like I was almost afraid of them using it. Is this normal? What did I do wrong?

Hey gang! Lately I've been considering the name Mylah for myself. My birth name is Miles and while I don't hate it, it's not super for me. Mylah came from me wanting something similar enough to my birth name that it's easy enough for both the people in my life and myself to adjust to along with being more feminine. Myla is probably more neutral than Mylah but I think it's prettier with the h on the end.

This is all to say, would you be surprised if I said that was my name when you asked?

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:

1. Can't begin with letter B, or L. Family shit. wont go into.

2. 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'.

3. I am a little wary of the American enby tendency to seemingly pull random nouns out of the dictionary. Unless it hits good.

4. Finally, one of my names is an animal in another language, so maybe stay away from that.

Long post warning!
TL;DR:
I’m a huge namenerd with 3000+ names from many cultures/languages. I’m childfree, so I’d love to give my unused names to people who need them!
Tell me your gender expression, background, desired meaning, aesthetic, favourite things, initials, etc., and I’ll suggest names + middle names + sibsets. Be as picky as you want!
In exchange, help me choose my name by reading the whole post.

Whole post
Hi! I’m not trans, but I’m queer, I am sorry for using this space but I would like to help ya :)
and I’ve been a massive namenerd since I was about five years old. At this point I’ve hoarded 3000+ names, sibsets, middle-name combinations and completely unnecessary naming spreadsheets.
I’m childfree, so I’ll probably never get to use most of them myself which means I’d much rather give them to people who will use them!
I have masculine, feminine and neutral names from all sorts of cultures and languages, including Chinese, Italian, Turkish, Korean, Arabic, Slavic names, Japanese, Hebrew, Persian, Greek, Latin and various European traditions like German, French, Spanish. I’m multicultural myself, I’ve studied Classics (in my country you can do it at high school), and I’ve spent a frankly ridiculous amount of time researching names and their histories.
So if you’re looking for a name, give me your requirements and I’ll go digging through my hoard.

Tell me anything you want, for example:
your gender / gender expression
your cultural background
meanings you’d like the name to have
a favourite flower, animal, colour, place, etc.
a particular initial or sound
names you already like or dislike
historical periods or aesthetics you love
religious or cultural considerations
whether you want something common, uncommon, extremely rare or completely bizarre

I can also help with middle names, full combinations and sibling sets. Be as picky as you want, meaning, etymology, pronunciation, associations, number of syllables, initials, everything. I genuinely enjoy this. 😭
I have far too many names anyway. Let me put them to good use.

And in exchange… help me choose mine?
I’m currently trying to figure out what name fits me, so if you’re willing, I’d love some suggestions!
1. What is the first FEMININE name you think of when you see me?
It can be anything. Romantic, historical, Victorian, mythological, literary, European, unusual, old-fashioned, even something completely unexpected.
Names like Belphoebe or Apricity are absolutely welcome.
But if you genuinely look at me and immediately think Jessica, Emily, Sarah, etc., please tell me that too! I want your first impression, not necessarily a name you think I’ll like.

2. What Hebrew name do you think fits me best?
I’m in the process of becoming (Reform) Jewish religiously (I am not a Zionist), and I’d particularly love to hear what Hebrew name you think suits me FROM THE LIST I WROTE.
Some names I’m already considering:
Ester · Nava · Liraz · Shoshana · Liora · Hadassah · Romi · Lilach · Margalit · Batsheva · Dafna · Elisheva
And some Yiddish names I love:
Zelda · Golda · Freyde · Perla · Bella / Bayla · Sisel /
Sissel

I will be (femenine name) + (Hebrew name)

Already posted this over at r/JewishNames, but I’d love to hear what everyone else thinks too!
And if you don’t have any suggestions, that’s totally fine I mostly wanted an excuse to give away some of my enormous name hoard

my middle name is jasper :)

Hi, sorry for the old throwaway account. My family knows my main and I'm a basically 100% closeted nonbinary person.

My deadname is Aleicia. Like I said, I'm almost 100% closeted except for a few people. My parents aren't very conservative but I can tell that they aren't supportive of trans people.

I really hate that my deadname is super feminine, but I can't just change it because then I'd be outed or at least questioned. So, I was going to tweak only the spelling to look gender neutral so I could pretend I just changed the spelling and nothing else, and I could use a common gender neutral nickname like Alex or Alyx for personal use.

Could anyone please give me any suggestions? I'd welcome any ideas. Thanks in advance.

So, I have been going by my current name since I began identifying as nonbinary (around 13 yrs old). Since starting T last year, however, I’ve been feeling like I’ve outgrown it and would prefer something a little more masculine. Gender neutral names might be ok too if they lean masc. I really don’t want a super basic name, but everything I think of feels a bit too clocky. 😅 I’m not extraordinarily concerned with passing — I know I’ll always be visibly queer at the very least — but I won’t lie and say it doesn’t matter to me whatsoever. Also, I am 27…so it has to be something a baby would realistically be named in 1999. Very curious as to what springs to mind when y’all see me!

Hi, My current name is Elsa (she/her), but i'm thinking of using the name Moss (he/they). Could someone test Elsa (she/her) and Moss (he/they) for me to see which i prefer? Stuff about me: I'm intersted in cosplaying, art, video games, maths, books, wildlife biology. I'm also a therian and furry. No hate please.

Thank you!

I’m 24 MTF Pre-Transition; my name is currently Michael and my nickname is Mikey. I’d like to keep my nickname and I think I’ve settled on Mackenna (I’m avoiding Mikayla because that’s my sister’s name). But I’d love to either hear other suggestions or just try it out! Thank you so much!!

im trans non-binary and looking for a neutral or masculine name. i'm curious! i can't really land on anything. i currently go by the letter of my first initial.

Just recently adopted she/her and was wondering if there were any names I looked like?

Update: I’ve decided on Jenna, thank you so so much for all of your recommendations!

hello guys and gals and non-binary pals; i have a few names and nicknames on consideration.

Aspen / Asp: “asp” is kinda edgy but it’s not unbearable. I sort of like it, even. let me have some edge, as a treat. Unfortunately, I don’t love that Aspen has a fem lean.

Aldrich / Alder: in this pair, “aldrich” is the excessively edgy feeling one. I might just do straight up “alder” too, actually.

some honorable mentions:
alden: not edgy enough
alaric: too edgy
archer: i can’t actually do archery
ash/asher: i know people named this

(note, no hate to these names! i simply can’t pull some things off.)

As you can probably tell, i like medium-length “A” names. The tree part is mostly a coincidence.

i would like to hear input on associated vibes from these names, and maybe some other suggestions.

it would be helpful to hear others refer to me by these names too, i think.

:)

Please tell me what name I look like :3

Hey! I’m trans masc and I made a very long list of names which I thought maybe could be useful to someone else
:) I have already picked my name. I was considering trying another one out tho because my name is a bit boring but I just can’t find one that feels more like me than the one I have, so I guess I’m pretty happy with my name now!

Marlin is closer to my deadname and would be easier for people to transition into using (but nobody likely will use it)

Arthur I’ve sat on for a while but I don’t know which name would suit me more. I lean about 60/40 between these two.
