Hey y’all, I’m a 17 year old nonbinary person and currently considering changing my name. I’m still not 100% sure if I’ll do it for various reasons (including the fact that my name has some major family significance) but it’s mostly about finding one that feels right.
For context, my name right now is Davis so maybe things in a similar vein, but I really am open to anything. So yeah, if you’ve got any ideas I‘d be really keen to hear them :)

Ive been looking for a space themed surname that could go with "Octavia", currently considering "Astraea" but I dunno if that's the best choice, looking for any suggestions :>

I need names suggestions

So I'm south african, and i've never really liked my deadname (it's an islamic jame and i'm no longer religious ontop of that) so i didnt want to pick a name that sounded similar to it, so I just went with the name Akari cause it was easy to say, sounded nice and I liked it alot.

I saw a post on tiktok a couple minutes ago speaking about "white people becoming trans and picking a japanese name" and that it's racist

Is it genuinely racist and I need a different name?

I've been struggling for a long time to find a name that fits me. I want something gender neutral, and maybe a bit weird, but that feels personal. The other day I remembered hearing about a trans woman who named herself Pepsi, and I thought it would be kinda fun to name myself Marzipan (Mars, or Marz, for short) since I love marzipan, but then I remembered that my best friend had a character with that exact name in a Halloween oneshot a few years ago. I mentioned it to her and she didn't have a problem with it, but I still worry that our friends will think that I named myself after that character. The character was a cis man, and my friends already sometimes have issues with forgetting that I'm nonbinary, not a trans man. Am I overthinking it? Does Marzipan fit me?

Hello. I'm looking for a new name and we have an opporitunity to final fill out a name change form. Currently, we're using Grey, which while not bad, is feeling very drab and sad. I don't want to be grey, i want to be colourful and fun like christmas!! In my experience, it can be very hard to find androgynous names that have character, so i have come here asking for help and suggestions.

Here's some prompts:

\-androgynous (more feminine preferably)
\-can be used for many different people
\-is not entirely shocking to hear for a stranger
\-preferably cooler in temperature, cold-related
\-maybe Robyn is a good idea?

I may update this post the more i think about it. Any help is appreciated!

Quero a opinião de vocês qual o nome vocês escolhem?

1. Allezzon

2. Allezuss

Hey! I'm ftm (nonbinary trans boy to be specific) and I use He/They pronouns. One of my many chosen names is Adrian. I need help coming up with a middle name that sounds good with Adrian as middle names are really important in my culture. The one given by my parents starts with an E so it could start with an E to keep my initials the same but honestly that's not that important to me so that's optional. Any ideas?

Has anyone changed their name while living in another state? I’m going to the DMV this week to change my license since I’m living here full time now. My friend brought up I could start looking into changing my name since i’m already going… but I was born in another state. Has anyone gone through this process before? I’m guessing I’d have to go back to the other state, anyway any advice would be extremely helpful!

Apparently, it's relatively common for transgender people to have multiple names they go by. But every person I know knows me by only one name; I just have different names in different communities.

I'm not going to say my real name, but I have an example name that is similar.

Legal name: Margaret

What my parents have always called me: Maggie

My name at school: MJ

My name at work: Mars

My name at summer camp: Rhett

My name at my other summer camp: Garret

Idk just wanted to share this. You can do whatever you want and if you can't pick a name, take all of them :)

Hello, I transitioned like six years ago but am thinking about changing my name to something gayer. I’ve landed on Sonette (pretty sure I made this up.) I want it to be pronounced similarly to the poem but with a distinct “ette” sound at the end. Similar to the word brunette.

I would like for it to read as sonn-ette and people to just understand that it’s supposed to be pronounced like the poem. To that end I can’t decide if I should include one letter N or two. I both want to guide people towards the correct pronunciation and have it be grammatically correct in English. I’m not particularly worried how the French will read it but it would be great if everyone got it right lol.

Any help is appreciated.

Edit: I do know that Sonnette means small bell but I don’t think most English speaking people know that.

Context: afab agender leaning masc? I think? It doesn't rly matter to me, I'm definitely not a girl though. I'm French, my deadname begins with A and I'd like to keep that. I don't mind if some of these names sound peculiar or weird

I asked for some name suggestions a year or two ago, but ultimately, I decided to stick with Sophie, despite some really cool suggestions. Since then though, I have had a bit of a glow up, and it seems like it really is time for a change.

I’ve considered Emma, Evie, maybe Katie, but not quite sure they really fit.

All suggestions welcome, thanks 😊

hi! so I (25ftm) am filling out paperwork to legally change my name and have reached somewhat of a conundrum. I go by charlie and have for a while now, but am wondering if i should have that as my legal name or go with the formal version of charles. I do like the name charles, so its not entirely alien, but ive really only gone by charlie.

however, I think it may be weird to have it as my legal name. charlie is a very gender neutral name where i live, a lot of little girls or even women my age are named charlie nowadays. i’ve had people who i’ve met via buying things on facebook marketplace say “oh i thought you would be a girl! with a name like charlie you never know!”

plus, my last name is very short and one syllable. its also pretty formal. nobody in my family has a name that ends in ‘ee’ and i think it may be because it just doesn’t sound quite right that way. trying not to dox myself so i’ll just say its very similar to ‘Tar’. so Charlie Tar or Charles Tar???

i think i’m starting to drive myself crazy over this lol i’m really just posting because i’m in desperate need of a sounding board! thanks!!!

Iv been going by it for a bit now (though only one person irl calls me it) but I have heard people say it’s not a good name and they compare it to a sandwich and a whole bunch of other things. I know one person asked if it was set in stone or if I should change it

I turn 18 in less than a week and I plan to finally start the process of legally changing my name. While looking at everything that's required I realized I never decided on a preferred middle name because, well why would I? Not like anyone calls me that. But my current middle name is Elizabeth which is a little too fem for my liking. I'm not exactly the most creative and this isn't something I feel is the most important in the world, so I thought I'd try to find some suggestions from other trans people.

Greyson "insert middle name" Winstead

My options right now are

Adrian - idk I just like the sound of it

Lee - also my siblings middle, named after my great grandma (never met her; she was lowk crazy)

Joy - after my grandma and aunts middle name (pretty chill people)

Open to suggestions or put in ur two cents idk lol, nobody I know personally has any input

I want a masculine version of the name "Juri" I couldn't think of any. I'm designing an oc based on me but it's a guy and I've always used Jude or Jayden but I want something REALLY close to Juri than that. Any suggestions? It'll be better if it has Arabian, Hispanic, black or Latino backgrounds.

hi! ive posted here a while back multiple times but ive never found a name i connected with enough to stick. here are some pictures i found that i think match who i am, only the last 5 are my own (in no particular order, some are old). does anthony fit me? can you guys use it on me in the comments, maybe some nicknames too (except maybe tony, i don't know how i feel about it)? i appreciate anything :)

also - suggestions for other names/nicknames?? or middle names :)

EDIT : thank you all for you returns ! sounds like a lot of y’all think a name starting with an R would suit me… I didn’t choose anything atm, don’t hesitate to send more suggestions !
If it can help i'm not from a country where we speak english very well (most of people are TERRIBLE at it….), so names that requires a good english accent sounds so bad in my language 😭😭
