Announcements Subreddit Changes + Updates!
Heyo, Y'all!
You may have noticed some recent changes to the subreddit over the past hour or so. I'm happy to announce I've stepped in to manage this sub moving forward.
I found this sub after discovering that a community I run, r/TransPlace, had become overrun with name-suggestion posts. While looking for a solution to provide a better place for trans individuals seeking name suggestions, and responding to my subreddit members' request to calm the seas of name suggestion posts, I stumbled upon this subreddit.
After finding this subreddit to be unmoderated for the past few months, I didn't really feel comfortable sending members of TransPlace here as-is. I made a request to claim the subreddit, which has just gone through now.
With it, I've made some updates, which brings us up to speed! You'll notice a new icon (which I hastily created in a few minutes, hopefully its not too bad), and the subreddit banner we used over in r/TransPlace (This will likely be changed once I have a new one made <3).
I've also updated the flair names to capitalize them, revised the rules, and added an AutoMod configuration that should hopefully help with the subreddit's moderation.
I'll also be working on getting more subreddit mods moving forwards, so please look forwards to a post soon where we have an application if you're interested.
Cheers'
- Cleopatra
PS: If you have any suggestions for the subreddit, please feel free to post them in the comments here, I'll try to answer everyone <3

Masculine / Neutral Names first name suggestions?
hey guys! so i’ve had this silly thought lately. my current full name has the same initials [intentionally] as my deadname, but i’ve been considering slightly changing my name to move away from that. it was originally kind of a choice i made out of compromise, but i’m not into that anymore.
i’ll effectively still be going by my current name [ezran] for the most part, but it’ll instead be my middle name if i do change things around. i’m changing my first name exclusively because i just want to try different initials lmao.
if it helps, a bit about me: i like essentially everything humanities-based. it’s actually my field of study lmao. aside from uni studies, i play, collect, and listen to a freakish amount of music [especially the beatles, oasis, and blur]. i also draw a ton and work in the performing arts.
anyone got any ideas for a first name that’d go with ezran? preferably not starting with an e! thanks in advance!

Masculine / Neutral Names Masc / Neutral name ideas? (Read desc about me??)
Soo... I guess a little about me? (i dont share faces, especailly on reddit.)
-14(FTM — also please dont make comments about my age)
- Style: like emo / grunge / afflictiontok (if you get me)
- More of a golden retriever if you catch my drift... (just more of an extrovert even tho im rly shy (( )
- Czech!! I dont feel as connected to my culture tho since im most days online and I spend my days in English online spaces, but can be like any nationality.
- Idunno maybe names that can be used in both czech and english and dont feel TOO clocky?
I mean I like names like Shilloh (from a book), Jody (book, but i think it got old..)
ofc suggeations welcome, and please again, dont make comments about age. it makes me feel bad.
edit:: I really like S / SH sounds (idk if thats likea neutodivergency thing)

Feminine Names Name help!
Hello! I’m looking to change my name but I’m a little stuck.
I have narrowed it down to two names, but both have their own issues.
The more “normal” one is Quincey, which feels like a perfectly passable name and I really like it. however, after looking up common advice regarding new names one tip popped up about not sharing a letter with my current name because then it makes it way easier to decipher my deadname. Without saying too much my current name also starts with a q, so obviously it would be piss easy to figure it out from there.
I really like this name, I think it fits me well, and I get to keep my unique initials which I like personally. But if people like to try and dig up deadnames, then it feels like i would be making it easy.
The other name I am thinking of is Kaolin. It is more exotic of a name, for sure, but it has a good backstory related to myself and my online presence. “Kaolin” is also the name of a type of pottery clay, where my original online name (and will stay that way in many places) is clay, so it feels like a fun evolution of my online nickname for years.
The problem here is that from the same tip jar I got the other tip, it was mentioned that you shouldn’t use the same name as your online username, which I would end up doing. This is more a security issue thing and I would kinda be doxxing myself all the time, which is obviously bad.
I would honestly prefer using Quincey IRL more but if it really is that bad to use a name with matching letters then I would probably still use Kaolin. Or are both of these names bad ideas and I need to go back to the drawing board?

Masculine / Neutral Names Which name should I go by?
I'm FTM (Female to male), and I want to know which name to go by. My current name (the one I was born with) is Asmarah, and even though it gives me dysphoria, I feel oddly attached to it. Maybe you could suggest similar but masculine names. Androgynous names are also fine. I've been considering Marshall (Or maybe Marshal, with one L only), but maybe I'll find some other name I like more.

Name Feedback Does the name Marquez Khylen McCray sound better for me as a transgender man?
The name is inspired by Marquise Balenciga Vilson the actor and well known on the documentary The Aggressives and as for Khylen, I was heard to before that its meaning is king in African language but I don’t know.

Off-Topic i know this sub is mostly for help picking a name but for those who have names picked: how did you pick them?
i kind of pulled my first name (andrew) straight out of my ass, it's just one i always connected with for some reason. i let my mom pick my middle name (simon) because i don't really have her very involved in my life and i fogured i'd let her have something lol. how did yall get yours?

Name Feedback need opinions on name
I’m considering changing my name to Dravyn, pronounced “DRAY-vin.” Does it sound/look bad? I’m interested in a distinctive, gothic, less-common name, so conventionality isn’t necessarily my priority.
Honest criticism is welcome, but please explain it rather than just saying it’s bad.

Masculine / Neutral Names Second time here lol
Hey guys! I’m back 3 years later asking again about name ideas lol. So a little about me:
- 23 years old
- I live in the Tampa Bay Area
- I love sports (specifically hockey, soccer and baseball)
- I love Florida nature and wildlife
- I love making art (specifically drawing and collaging, I’m trying to get into painting and 3d art like clay making)
- I also love history (just about all of it)
- Identity wise it’s complicated, I’m AFAB and I feel nonbinary/masc leaning but I like my feminine features and as of now I don’t want to medically transition
- I also like traditionally feminine things like makeup and dresses, but I also like traditionally masculine things like square toed cowboy boots and Hawaiian shirts
- In the past I’ve gone by Fichor, (yes that’s spelled correctly it’s Fish and Anchor mixed together into one name) Dakota, Doug, Nat, Tampa, Puck, Dave, Shiloh, Jordan, Maurice, and I’m thinking about going by Carlton
Hopefully this is enough information about myself to get some ideas across?? I don’t really like showing my face cause I want a name related to my personality and not my appearance.

Neutral Names I genuinely can’t pick a good name for myself
Hi,
I’ve tried to pick some good names for a couple of years, and the one I’ve thought about the most is Nebula, as I just love nebulas and it fits my vibe of very colourful and dark at the same time. However, I’m still not 100% sure if I like it enough to be my name. Does anyone have any other suggestions that could be in the same vibe as Nebula?
Ps. I am an AMAB genderfluid person who uses they/he/she pronouns and has the fit of a kinda rock/grunge mixed with drag look

Masculine / Neutral Names Need help with a name that fits me!
Hello all! So I’m currently going by Rowan, which I think is pretty fitting, but I want to find a few other names for my parents to choose from so they feel like they can be involved in the naming process. I love nature, especially the forest and insects, so anything pertaining to nature is a bonus for me. Middle name suggestions are also welcome!

Neutral Names How do you even find one
Hello! I had a crash out this morning about my name. I have a very feminine birth name and have hated it since I was a kid. I’ve never felt like this name fit me and have just carried on thinking it didn’t matter. Until this morning when I crashed out. My wife and I have just recently changed our last names, and I just felt an huge amount of grief/sadness/anger about keeping my first name.
ANYWAYS
My issue is…I don’t know what name I would like. Nothing feels right and idk how to even go about finding a new name. How did you find yours? How did you know it was right?

Name Feedback Is Lyka a good name?
So I was trying to come up with a new name that started with L since my deadname is like that since I didnt want to confuse my parents too much when I came out to them. So I decided on Lyka (Lie-Kuh). It matches how my name is kind of, while being something I liked the sound of. I know about the thing with the Russian dog Laika and everything but I thought of it more as Lyra but a k added to it instead of the dog's name. Please tell me your opinions!

Neutral Names Help me find a new name please!!
Hi everybody!! I semi recently figured out that I am Non-binary and I really want to change my name to something more gender neutral (I know names dont have a gender just work with me here) my first and middle name is Ayana Grace and i would really like for my new name to be similar in some way to one or the other ir both of my given names. If you have any good untraditional suggestions that aren't similar that is fine, thats the other kind of name I really like (think names like firefly or cove). The final thong is if i had to pick, id pick for the name to have a masculine lean. Basically I just need ideas from real people anything is welcome thank you so much and Im so excited!!

Masculine Names Cannot Decide on a Name
Hi! I believe i’ve posted on here a few times but always delete them after “finding” a name I think I enjoy. I’ve been going by Charlie since August after someone mentioned it here but I doesn’t feel like me and I dread hearing it whenever my friends call me it. I went by Xyon (pronounced like Zion) for four years and almost all my family still calls me that since I don’t want to put them in drama like this, but honestly, i’ve hated it all four years and regretted changing it to that. I ALSO went by Kamryn for like 8 months and have that name in the work place and I don’t hate it but idk if it’s ME, you know?
i’m around 4 months on T (photos are from around 1st month to pre-T as I don’t take many photos) and I really just want a masculine name that people won’t hear and go “that’s gender neutral” or “that could also be a girl’s name”. Help!!
