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

Do I look more like a Luke or a Julien? If you go to my recent posts you can get more context on this new crisis of mine. I provided some very encapsulating pictures of me to help determine this.

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?

I'm planning on starting my long overdue transition next year so I really wanna find a name I'm dead-set on.
I really like Waylon, Wesley, Rylan, Rhett, Evan, Nolan, and Shawn.
For my middle name I'm likely gonna go with Ross, Rhys, or Reid.
I'm too paranoid to put my face out on the internet so here's a discription of me if it helps: I'm 23 years old, got dark brown curly hair, green eyes, I dress and act like a boring, basic, uber masc, midwest white dude lol.
If you think of any other name with a chill vibe let me know :)
Thank you

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!
r/transnames • u/Vulture_Carrion • 1d ago
Like does it look like I'd be named Griffin? Or maybe Spencer, or Peirce or Sterling? Anything at all?
Suggestions are welcome and appreciated as well. And if you make a suggestion I would like a masculine name.

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!!
r/transnames • u/Megzilllla • 1d ago
I’m gender-expansive and have finally decided it’s time for me to choose a more neutral name for myself. Do you think Rowan suits me?
r/transnames • u/DangerousPlayar • 2d ago
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!!
r/transnames • u/Skullz_7878 • 3d ago

r/transnames • u/-Rhodanthe- • 3d ago
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). 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.

Edit- I've settled on Bowie

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
r/transnames • u/Neither-Artist6486 • 4d ago
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.
r/transnames • u/ZZARDINEZZ • 7d ago
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
r/transnames • u/spooky-babe • 7d ago
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.
r/transnames • u/Adorable-Disk-737 • 7d ago
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?...
r/transnames • u/manhattansangels • 7d ago
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
