Hey! I'm having trouble deciding on a first name for myself. I honestly kind of am liking Zack, but I want to know what other people think about it. I do have a sort of preconceived notion about the name that it's for bratty kids, but I still like the name and want to get over that. My last name starts with a B and is two syllables, and I'm considering maybe the middle name Alexander, but if you have any other suggestions I'm open, I'm not particularly attached to my middle name and I'm good with anything that sounds good. Thanks for your help!!

Hello Reddit! I have come seeking help with my name. I am a trans guy who really wants a name to call his own.

My dead name is… rare to say the least. My dad allegedly made it up and I’ve never met anyone else with the name. I don’t mind this too much but a pre-established name would be nice. Although I don’t want it to be too basic (although plenty of the names I’ve considered are very basic).

I’m considering James as my middle name because it sounds like my old middle name (one syllable J name). My surname is also one syllable and begins with an L.

I’ve had some ideas, some prominent ones being:

Silas (from a book character)

Alek/Alex (a name I loved when I was a kid)

Caleb (first name I considered)

That’s all I’ve got. A very not-exciting list that I don’t know how to feel about. I’d appreciate suggestions/tips/anything really. I just want to figure out a name to call myself while everything else in my world is so shaky (my family life isn’t very stable and I’m in a big transitional period in my life, not just the actual transition lol). I want something to call my own and no names are sticking.

Thank you in advance for your help :)

hi y'all. I (22nb but male presenting but wanting to not be anymore) have felt wrong in my gender identity for a while and I joke about it with my friends and I think they're just waiting for the egg to crack and I'm being too stubborn. anyways, for a while i had a different girl name picked out that never really settled (evelyn, i just thought it was a pretty name but it didn't super feel like me) but now i want to try daisy. daisy claire [last name]. i love flowers and it feels like if i get over my internalized hatred of who i am i could really feel like me if i were her.

anyways yeah, i like physics and math and music. i start my phd in physics a month from tomorrow. i like playing pokemon and fire emblem and i love nature. i try so hard to make everyone happy and im hoping being called daisy here will help me make myself happy. thank you everyone

Hii! I'm a demigirl, and trying to change my name! I want something neutral but fem-leaning. I like a variety of different names, things like Willow work, Cory, a lot of things. I just don't want anything too like, exotic? I dunno, just nothing too extreme, like Starlight, lolz. Thank you!

Hi, I like to play video games & do math. The current games I am play as of recent are: Balatro, Warframe, & Marvel Rivals. The math level I am at is Calculus 2 & soon to be Calculus 3 this upcoming semester!

Also I made this post because I have could not find my name here so I wanted to be the 1st! (As far as I know)

i have an assumption but i want to know if i’m right

Hi everyone! I'm trying to decide on a name to use (MtF) and could use some help. I have a few ideas but am open to suggestions. My ideas are Ellie, Piper and Lexi.

Hiii! I’ve been going by Mei for a while (as it’s just a nickname of my birth name), but over the past few days, I’ve considered going by June… I genuinely don’t know if I wanna go by Mei or June, so please help!

If you need extra info on me, I like drawing and watching cartoons and reading manga !!

I finally picked a name. This was more difficult than I thought it would be maybe cause I never really thought about it.

I mean a wrote some down but it wasnt really something I focused on. Honestly I can barley focus on me Recently.

Anyway a few days ago I was in my chair 4 in the morning and I started to miss a really good friend of mine. She um Anyway

I had a conversation with myself about it all of it. And ive decided to use her name.

Rip Skye I really miss you.

Idk maybe this isn't a good idea

I've been questioning my gender a lot recently, and I wanted to try out a different name that I thought sounded nice and she/her prounouns.

Hello good people, i have been struggling to find a name that i like
i’m non binary and finding names that sound okayish in spanish is hard.

For now Rio is one that i have been liking but i’m looking at other options like jade, joan, mel.

Does anyone have an advice on how to finally choose?

or even a recommendation.
my birth name is mauro and probably my mom would choose a name also with M, but i’m not sure

thank you for your time here <3

Hi! I don't really know what to put here tbh but starting soon I'm going to be one of the leaders of an LGBTQ+ group and I wanted to try out the name a bit more​before putting it down on the introduction slide

For starters, I’m an older teen. I don’t exactly like my birth name. I’ve always questioned my gender but not necessarily labeled myself as anything other than female. I don’t present feminine, but my name is quite feminine. In a few days, I will be off to summer camp for three weeks. I was thinking of going by Parker at camp instead of my given name. because it’s a bit more neutral. I’d also think I’d start going she/they, but I’m not sure if the name fits or if I’m comfortable with it. I’m just confused. I’ve gone through a bunch of names but I just am stuck. I’ll take any advise I can.

Hi, call me Jaye. I'm bigender (afab) testing out a more masculine name, and would like to try out they/he pronouns. Name isn't fully finalised either- I'm after a short unisex name that isn't too common/ has some spelling variation yet still reads easily. I like Theo, Ash, Alex, Enzo (last is more masc) but any other ideas would be appreciated. If pronouns could be separated instead of in the same sentence that would be great- thanks 😁.

I've been talking to my psychologist recently about some gender stuff, and I thought maybe I should try out some pronouns. I'm hoping trying out she/her pronouns will help with some of the confusion.

New to flirting with trans masc identity. Want to see how this feels. Ty<3

I have a few other ideas or options but will leave this here, for now.

Thanks all, much appreciate it.

I need help, i'mm Genderfluid and the name i chose for when i feel more of a girl is Sienna

(She/Her)

My birth name is Caitlin so I have been trialling Caolan as it’s also Irish and a masculine version of my name.

As I’m trans masc he/ they im also thinking I could go for something more non binary sounding.

I don’t know whether to stick close to my birth name to make it easier.

Other ideas I have are

Cai
Kay
Luca (totally different lol)

But if you have any ideas which keeps it close and is gender neutral sounding I’d appreciate it

I like my current name but I’ve been exploring this one as well and would love to hear some tryouts!

Hey! I’ve hated my birth name and my relationship with my gender has been weird for a bit so I’m trying this out. A few questions though:

1. Is it weird that I’m changing from a masculine name (I’m AMAB) to another masculine name but using gender neutral pronouns? Is that confusing? I really love the name but I feel like a larper
2. Also I’m okay enough with he/him pronouns, I just find myself referring to myself with they/them and I feel really good when I do they/them in pronoun dressing room sites. It might just be novelty though?? Idk. As said earlier I feel ilke a larper
3. Is there anything wrong with the name Trevor? Any implications or horrible people you know of? Would that name turn you away?

If you couldn’t tell, I’m very autistic and struggle with identifying my emotions/opinions…

Hi, you can just call me Drago. I’d like to try out she/her pronouns, but also he/him and they/them as a “control” (like in science experiments)

I’d describe myself as bigender fluidflux, and specifically mutogender (gender shifts based on circumstances). My gender can shift a good amount throughout the day.

My fluidity makes it kinda awkward to list my pronouns. My solution in the meantime was “he/they usually” but as a result of that (plus being AMAB) I haven’t ever been referred to with she/her pronouns by someone else and I’d like to try out how that feels. I’ll re-read the comments every now and then to see how each pronoun set feels and when.
