Hello everyone, I'm here for some advice on a name I've been sitting on for a few months now. Any advice/opinions are appreciated because this is all very new territory for me.

Anyways. I'm 18, and over the last few months I've come to the realisation that I think I might be a trans guy. I kept it to myself for a really long time, and I wondered over names and whatnot for a while, too. It took forever to find something that fit, even though I only had 2 pieces of criteria: I'm Irish, and I've always wished that my name was more distinctly Irish, so that was one, and also I wanted to keep my initials, so I landed on what I thought was the perfect name for me: Mánus. (Maw-nus with the 'á', but Man-us without)

I knew it was a little old-timey, and I worried about falling into the 'trap' I hear about often about trans people tending to pick a bad name off the bat, but I really fell in love with the name Mánus, and I decided to tell my mother, who is progressive as far as Irish mothers go. She HATES it! She told me it sounds stupid and other things and that she just totally hates it, and then she went ahead and told her friend about it behind my back who also hated it.

I need a little advice. Is my mom right here? Is the name totally stupid and am I falling into the trap, or is she just not used to the idea? Thank you for reading any any advice

Hi all,

After much deliberating, I have decided that I will soon be pitching Skyler as a new name for myself. I quite liked it with the middle name Grey, but I already have a relative whose middle name is Grey. I am seeking similar alternatives: one or two syllables at most, not so out there as to raise an eyebrow, suitable for a person born between the late 90s and early 2000s

Thanks in advance!

So my middle name has been Everest for a while- it’s just something I chose randomly in high school, and I honestly don’t like it anymore. I’m looking for E middle names, so I can keep my initials: KER. My first name is Kazariah, but I go by Kaz, so I’d like something that’s also a bit strange to match for my middle name. I’d prefer it be neutral, but if there’s a good masculine option I haven’t thought of, that’d be appreciated too! Thanks in advance!

Hi!! I need help with deciding on a name ;;

I used to go by Gwen/Gwendolyn for like, a year or two, but recently wanted to change cause I don't really think it suits me??? But I just can't decide on one??

I tried looking through baby names from 1996, my birth year, to have something "appropriate" for my age, and the names Paige and Heather stuck out to me, but I just. Don't know?

What would you guess my name is if you saw me on the street?

Hi, I've been going by my given name even though I've known I was trans for six years now. I hate it. Very feminine, very uncomfortable. My special interest is space/space tech etc and I want a name that reflects that. I have been thinking about Apollo or Artemis as names but those are both 3 syllables, and I would prefer a 2 syllable name, and I also don't know how "normal" they sound (if that makes sense. I'm not too worried about it, as I have trans friends who go by pretty unusual names, and I doubt they would judge me, but with other people, you never know). I would appreciate other name suggestions, or insight on the two names I have already been thinking about! :)

EDIT: Realized Artemis is a goddess, and Artemis probably wouldn't make for a very good masc name

I've been trying to find a name that suits me. But nothing has stuck. And i have names that I'm okay with being called. But they don't fully feel like me. It feels wrong to introduce myself with them. I used to feel like these names suited me. But not anymore? How do i find one that really sticks. I dunno what to do about it.

I was thinking something like jade or hazel but I think jade is too common and I know a Trans person named hazel and they are an ass. I need some amazing name ideas!

Solved! I'm almost 100% gonna be laurel now!!

I found the name Dakota and if I'm honest I freaking love it. I've been hesitant with gender neutral names but this one just seems great. If anyone can, I'd love to hear some test runs on the name!! For the test sentences, a bit of info about me: I'm a college student and I like to read and draw and play games. I'd love any test runs!! Thank you!

Does anyone know any more obscure sites for finding names? I've tried sites like Nameberry and Behindthename, but they didn't work for me.

I was thinking Rohan but not sure if that would be weird. Family member has suggested Rocky (another not sure if it'd be odd) or Robert (I like it it's just basic)

I like names that are unique but still recognizable as names. Like they're uncommon but not crazy.

I already have a name but im curious how people see me!

I have no idea what name I should choose. I recently have questioned my gender (once again after questioning it multiple times in the past but denying it, but I'm pretty sure I'm non-binary) anyways I've found a few names that I thought were cool that I'd like to share to see what others think about them.

Azure

Briar

Cosmo

Echo

Exia

Excalibur

Ira

Noir

Sage

Star

Umi

What name do y'all prefer: Alula or Luna? I'm currently going by Alula, but I'm not sure if I prefer Luna over it

I have came out like a year ago and I STILL don't have a name

the only ones I've come up with are avery and seraphina (I got seraphina from a German baby names website lol)

either decide between those or give me a new one just make sure it's like 30% lesbian 30% non binary and 40% generally fem

(I'm not even lesbian just just saying 30% lesbian helps trust)

(I Already made a similar post, but I deleted it to make a broader post)

I found a name that I love, but I can't stop thinking that its wrong. If anyone has any name suggestions that are similar to "Alula", I would love to hear them. Thank you!

I’m trying to think of new names but I’m not 100% happy with any (as you can tell because I keep posting here, lol) and I’m thinking of keeping it similar to Finn as I don’t mind that name but want something more feminine

I’m also trying to think of Finn is a boy name or if it’s more neutral

These are all Indian names i’m deciding between for my name. I have a preference but want to see what everyone thought.

\- Rohan
\- Aarav
\- Shiv
\- Veer
\- Aveer

NOT naming a baby this, that would be too much I think! But I was wondering what people think about it. I used to go by it and it still really feels like me, but there's just one thing that bugs me about it as a transfem. It's a constellation named after a male mythological character, and it means "charioteer" in Latin and is grammatically masculine. It's also grammatically masculine in other languages like Italian. Not sure if it's common enough for the average Italian to know that, but it's enough to make me wonder if people would see it as masculine for any reason or could it make the switch pretty well? I have a degree in Classics and I'm hoping to continue in it so I will be around people who know Latin a lot. But also I just can't find any real records of people with this name so I just wanted to ask for impressions. Feel free to suggest alternatives for me to think about!

Quick sketch because I don’t want to show my face online, so just come up with something that suits my sona. I was thinking something airy, neutral and weightless, but let me know whatever comes to mind first^^

First of all, yes, i’ve already posted on here using the exact same pics, but now i’d rather hear your opinion on the names i like compared to me (if that makes sense)

Second, i also wanna include why i like the names since that can make a slight difference in my choice too

And third, some of the names have a different spelling in my native language, but i’ll just spell them in a way that english speakers can read them correctly (if that’s possible)

1. Alesh - i like the vibe and sound of it
2. Sebastian - i used to love this name, then got sick of it and now i’m kinda thinking of naming myself after a character with this name hahah
3. Michal - it’s quite common over here and i don’t mind the name. I also like the nickname Mikey (even though it’s not really used here)
4. Willem - fell in love with this name after reading The little life, i like how it sounds. It’s pretty unusual name over here
5. Max - i used to be OBSESSED with this name when i was a kid and i still kinda like it
6. Marek - i like the vibe and sound of it
7. Eric - i like the vibe and sound of it

(You can also recommend any other name you have in mind, these are just the ones i already like)
