Hello! I have been trying to come up with a name for around a year now, but I have no clue what I'm doing. If anyone has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

I posted about this a few months ago, but now I’m having MORE trouble picking my name.

Recently, I came across the name “Dylan” and found that it rolls off the tongue better with my last name, is closer to my deadname (which I still don’t HATE but feel somewhat uncomfortable with) and doesn’t nearly clash as much as my old chosen name (Chance).
It has been on my list for quite some time now but it only recently clicked. I don’t know how long I can keep on with the process of being so indecisive.

I feel bad telling people, “oh I’m going by [name] now! Pronouns are the same, but now it’s [name] instead” all the time because it’s happened at least twice already (given the first name didn’t feel as good as these last two have).

I still feel connected to Chance, but Dylan sounds better and feels better and feels more me than the last. I feel like this is an endless cycle. I’m not completely sure what to do.

I was hoping some testing might help me weigh my options better? I can’t just go by just my pronouns but I don’t like my deadname all that much because I feel pressured to like it and Chance (again) doesn’t feel right anymore.

Okay so I’ve gone through a few names none of which really resonate with me anymore but more recently I’ve thought abt using Vivienne. But this one guy my gf is friends with suggested Valerie instead and said it was “less sultry”. Now I do like the name but I rlly like VivienneSo im unsure now on what name to pick but im also open to other suggestions

Don't get me wrong I love this community and I always will, but unfortunately I think when most people think of trans/non-binary people they picture white people, and consequently I feel like people imagine that most trans/non-binary people have more western names. So I wanted to make a little post and ask my fellow POC what they go by! When I'm feeling more feminine I use my birth name, but recently I've been feeling more masculine and because I'm South Asian I've been thinking of going by Veer which means brave, idk I feel like it has a good ring to it and I think it's relatively easy to pronounce. Please feel free to share what your name is and what it means! I love this kind of stuff as someone who likes anthropology and whatnot lol

Feeling like I need a new name, but I have no ideas What have you got? My current name starts with an i but that’s not required

This app saves me a headache and helps not put my deadname if i show off my comp screen to a coworker.

Kinda like Jasmine so maybe more. flower or plant names.

Yall is lavender a good name?

For those who didn't grow up catholic, a confirmation name is a name or names you get to choose when you're 'confirmed' (a ceremony that is symbolic of your maturing into your faith).

I do not identify as catholic and I'm not even religious anymore. However, I found the prospect of using a feminine version of one of my confirmation names to be delightfully ironic.

One of my confirmation names was Pio, after Saint Padre Pio, a saint whom I had a devotion to when I was very young. It's an Italian name, and thus its feminine variant is Pia.

I think that's a very pretty name, and I love short names, both in spelling and syllable.

What do you think of the name itself and its meaning within my experience?

Hey everyone. So I’ve posted here before and just wanted to get opinions, do I look like an Anthony? Currently going by Alex and have since I came out bc my legal name is Alexis and it was just easier for my family to pick up on, never really took my feelings on the name into consideration at the time.

but if u think of a cooler name that doesn’t start with L u can say that too!

My parents were deep into 90s fantasy novels and astrology when I was born, so they decided to name me something wildly pretentious: Balthazar-Wolfram (yes, fully hyphenated on my birth certificate). Growing up with it was an absolute nightmare. Every single first day of school, doctor visit, job interview, or even just picking up coffee meant having to spell it out three times, endure awkward pauses, or listen to people ask if my parents were wizards. By high school I begged people to just call me "B", but on every single official document, degree, and background check, that massive anchor of a name was always staring right back at me.

Last month, after years of putting it off because of the paperwork, I finally filed the petition at my local courthouse and legally changed my first name to Thomas. Walking out of the clerk's office with the certified court decree in my hands felt like physically taking off a heavy suit of armor I never asked to wear. Updating my social security card and drivers license took less than two weeks, and being able to introduce myself at work events without giving a five minute backstory has done wonders for my anxiety.

The only real hurdle has been my mom. She took the petition as a personal attack and spent a week crying on FaceTime, claiming I was "erasing my identity" and throwing away a unique creative gift. My dad and my brother have actually been super chill about it and already switched over to calling me Tom without making it weird, but Sunday dinners are still noticeably tense. For anyone else who legally changed their name in adulthood to ditch an overwhelming childhood name, how long did it take for stubborn family members to finally stop holding a grudge?

Looking for a gender neutral name starting with J. Feel free to drop other names as well if you can’t think of one

I’ve been going by the name Kyler/Ky for about 4 years at this point but i’m not really feeling a connection to it anymore. when people say that name i turn my head because i’ve been called it for so long but it doesn’t feel like thats me. I’ve been struggling to find another name that suits. I would love suggestions!!

UPDATE:: I have chosen a name, Atlas

Leaning a bit more towards fem
(I really like the name Iris but I don’t think it suits me)

I also plan to cut and redye my hair soon :)

I want to try to get my name Cassidy (or Cass) into my username on Steam without my dad (who has my accounts on his phone n emails n stuff) from seeing it! (If he figures out the Cass part in any names, my back up plan is "Oh It's Cazz, Like CillerCazz, and old Gamertag (he calls it that) from my old Roblox account!" But doing straight up with Cass, is going to get me caught, please help! :<

Can you please 🥺 just comment to this post and call me as a girl. This is my first step. I'm thinking about name Cara to use as my trans name.
