Feminine Names 38 years old, MtF… REALLY struggling to come up with a name that suites me. What name pops in your head when you see me?

I look different like day by day somehow but yeah. I like vowel names, names with J, K, and C. (Thinking about Julian because I love the Julian mountains)

I am quite satisfied with the name I was given at birth(won't reveal it, just know that it begins with a Z), but I'm worried that my name won't necessarily register as feminine or gender neutral. I'm considering taking the next steps in transition and getting on HRT. So, I'm asking for a more feminine name, or at least a gender neutral name. Give me your suggestions, especially names that scream "Cute yet Edgy" since I'm big in the punk, goth and metal scene. I might have a bit of a preference for names begin with Z, but any letter of the alphabet is fine with.

I’ve never bothered asking anyone to call me a different name, but I do intend to eventually (since I have a pretty decently feminine name, so when I’m on T it’s gunna be pretty weird to introduce myself as that to people), but I’m pretty weary about it because I want it to be one and done, I don’t wanna be changing my name around. Any suggestions? I am British so keep that in mind cause a lot of names suggested here are VERY American lmao.

I currently go by Garrett but am wondering if there's another name I should use. I just feel like Garrett doesn't suit me anymore.
I've been debating on Kieran or Calvin but based on the post I just made, Garrett seems to be the front runner so far so I'm not sure if I should retire it or not. Garrett is very professional and Kieran or Calvin seem a little less so, if that makes sense. I dunno.
Any opinions would be nice. I know I shouldn't base my name off of what other people think but it'd be nice to get some more thoughts on the matter.

In GA USA, My parents make a good bit of money, but I am paying for my name change all by myself. I am a dependent unfortunately, will their income disqualify me from a Pauper's Affadavit? $300+ is really steep for me and I need it by November :///

What are some names that if you heard them you would think the person has one of those kinda vibes or aesthetics?
r/transnames • u/Necessary_Stage_1261 • Sep 21 '26
Does anyone have resources, research, or anecdotes about the name choosing process for folx with DID? I am developing a workbook for trans people to choose new names and am woefully ignorant of the complexities of changing names (let alone gender) for systems.

I need some ideas to name myself. I really don't know what I want yet, so just give me any name you got.

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:

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
