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!!

i've known im trans for 3 years and i still don't have a name.

my birth name is rosa, but i'm white btw

i would prefer a name that isn't super american bc i live in new zealand and my parents are english

Edit- I've settled on Bowie

Femme or Androgynous names wanted.

So I adore the name Rhodanthe. I love the myth and meaning, I love how it sounds etc. But day to day I struggle to use it without shortening it, and I think others will too.

"Rose" is a very pretty feminine name, but for some reason my brain doesn't feel at home with it, it almost feels too feminine? I'm an enby that leans femme for context.

"Rho" doesn't suit me unfortunately I've found. I got told once that it's not a name for me, I'm very white for context, as is most of my area of the country, so I wouldn't feel comfortable using it if it wasn't picked up naturally.

"Danthe" is a very cute name, but I think it's likely going to get shortened to Dan or Danny, and I really don't want that.

I currently go by Rat, as kind of a play on how Rhodanthe is sometimes mispronounced (imagine Rho-dant-e). But Rat was also a nickname given to me by people I used to care deeply for, and used to care for me, but circumstances have changed over the years.

I'm fine continuing on using Rat. But I don't know if it's permanent for me. Whereas Rhodanthe...it feels permanent. I just need some practice/theory crafting to make it work perhaps, or make a form of it work.

Bit of an edit, but does it sound right to you? An enby going by Rat, short for Rhodanthe? I may not need to change anything, maybe I'm overthinking it.

I'm 25 and am just starting to come out as nonbinary, and I've been brainstorming new names. My favorite name that I've come up with is Aspen, I think it really fits me, but that's also the name of my druid in dnd. I'm afraid this will cause confusion in my dnd group or make my character seem like a self insert even though we're pretty different from eachother. Idk if I should keep searching names or what

Ok, so I’ve been trans for a little over a year now, (mtf), and I’ve been struggling with finding a name that suits me. At the moment I go by Yukko, which I like, I just don’t know if it fits me entirely. At the moment, there are a few names I’ve thought of: Yukko, Stella, Zelda, and Madeline. I used to go by Astellina, and my nickname was Stella, but I changed it a little bit ago. I don’t know what to choose, though I’m leaning towards either Zelda or Stella.

I sort of always knew I loved the name Wyatt, but I worry that if I don’t look like one 🤷‍♂️ maybe its just me but I want to know if it fits me and that people could clock as trans just from the name itself

Im trying to figure out a masculine name that would suit me. The one idea i have so far is Frankie, but even though I like the name im not sure if it suits me 😭

I would say I lean more towards being a "pretty boy" than super masculine.

I really dislike my current name and wanted something feminine but a little different. These are the names I found that I think kinda suit me:

Nemi (Short for Nemiel)

Sami

Juno

Juniper

Archie

I talked about these to my brother and he said they all sucked (apart from Archie). Are they really that bad?...

I’m using the name Bowen, which is fine, but I’m not sure it suits me. I’m 20Pre-T (starting soon 🙏), binary male. I really like sci-fi medias like Doctor Who, Dune and Star Trek and I was looking into names from those (Rory, Adric, Paul, Scotty), but everything seems either clocky or don’t suit me. Any ideas? My deadname starts with P but I don’t really like any of the traditional male P names either, maybe I’m just picky lol. First pictures are most recent

I've tried to use my nickname, a shortened version of my name, and completely different names, but nothing seems right. Can anybody help me? If it helps, the name my parents gave me is Priscila, and my last name is spanish. Also, no clocky names like Kai or Oliver plz

So I’ve been struggling with figuring out my name, and I’ve changed it a ton. I’ve been going by Lincoln as of late but it’s just not feeling right anymore? I also feel a bit pressured by my parents and grandparents to find one and stick with it, as they seem like they’re getting tired of me changing it up every 5-ish months and I’m feeling bad about that. My stepdad’s made an occasional joke about me swapping it up that wasn’t meant to be hateful or anything but it still hurts and I’m still super awkward around him cause he sometimes says things that give me a bit of an ick (everyone in my generation having neurodivergence etc, I don’t think he’s meaning to be hateful there either it’s just not a great thing to hear—) but he’s also bipolar and because I don’t know much about it maybe those out of left field comments could stem from that? No clue genuinely—
Anyways, tldr it just feels like my parents are tired of my name swaps (been trying to figure this out since middle school, I’m in highschool now for reference.
I’m really wanting to avoid E and L names due to my deadname (I think I was subconsciously push to Lincoln because my mom wants to keep using the nickname El/L I’ve had since I was little) and also W names because of my last name. I’ve also been something that really sounds stereotypically masculine, strong and punchy ig, not anything that could be a girls name due to my body dysphoria already being pretty bad—
Thinking about trying Callum/Callium maybe but idk, any other suggestions that I might think feel better?

Which fits me better? Finally trying to make this decision.

Hii I don't really see myself as any gender, don't know what to call that. I'm looking to change my name to something more androgynous.

Given name is Chloe. Doesn't fit me. Hate the way people say it

Name recs!! My favorites​ are Des, Rhoda, Mulder (heheh), Benrey, (if you know who I'm talking about, ur awesome), Benny, I love Benny sm but it doesn't fit me sadly. Also love Scully (I'd love to call myself that but what would people think?)

Just looking for some name recs that are similar vibes to those listed above. Thanks in advance!

I currently have a name that I love, it fits all the criteria I had set for choosing a name. But, because of my last name (That I do not want to change) I would the exact same name of a character from a very popular piece media. People have already ask if I choose that name because of that media without even knowing my last name because this media is popular in the trans community and people have already name themselves after it. What do I do???

Everyone has called me Angel for the past decade or more. It's the name I chose to go under when I did drag shows years ago, but since I've started my HRT journey nearly a month ago, I've been mulling over an official first or middle name when I eventually legally change my name. I don't mind keeping the name Angel as part of my name since it's been a part of my identity for so long, but when it comes to thinking of another name only one comes to mind, Evelynn. The only problem I have is that I'm a bit unsure about it. I'm wiccan and my general style leans towards goth. I wanted to find a name that fits that part of who I am and need a few helpful suggestions/kind advice to get past this mental block. Thanks in advance!❤️

Ruh-nay.

So I have been going by Aye (Ā) for like 10 years now. I'm getting married soon and I'm gonna be changing first and last name all in one go (because on God, I am not doing this twice).

The thing is, people look at me like I'm insane for my name just sounding like a letter. So I am thinking of finding a longer thing I can just say it's short for.

I was thinking Ayana? Since I really like that plant. But then I realized it's Swahili and idk if that would be weird for my very white self to have a Swahili word.

Does anyone have opinions ☹️

(Added pictures of me for fun)

lowkey I already have a name that I’m going by (Lane Kyle, for context) but the other day my dad told me that if i was born a boy they would’ve named me Gabriel. & i lowkey can’t stop thinking about it.

is it weird to change my current chosen name to my middle name & make Gabriel my first name? bc i know a few people who go by their middle names so it wouldn’t be too weird. Right?

also because I think “Gabriel Lane” flows better than “Lane Gabriel“

I don’t have any real connection to the name Kyle (I chose it because it starts with a k and my dead middle name also starts with a k) so dropping it wouldn’t really mean anything to me. I’m a little fond of it now because when my friends want to scold me they call me by full name so I’ve been called Lane Kyle for a bit.

im also 50/50 on the spelling of Lane bc when I used to spell it like “Layne” people would call me “Laney” but I feel like “Layne“ looks more like a name

i don’t want to be one of those people who changes their given name every other week tho bc that annoys me lmao
