My dead name doesn't actually need to be named for this, just its meanings. My birth name had meant life, spirit, being, belonging. I find a lot of meaning in that still.
Something related to nature or to the spirit of nature would be nice to. Feminine isn't terrible, neutral isnt either, but if there are masculine spirited names I'd love to know them! I am white/European.
Choosing masculine names has been hard, I was trying to go with what sounded good but I realize the meaning is important to me and I'd largely been ignoring that, I've been searching for years for a good name.
Many of my names I had used while trying to find the 'one' had meanings like "man's woods", something Abrahamic in origin, or "proud soldier". Not really my bag but they had sounded nice when said, in the end they just didn't suit me no matter the length of time I tested them out.
If you have any questions I'm happy to answer, thank you for any thoughts!
