dex, fox, den (short for denver) or something else?

dex, fox, den (short for denver) or something else?

i really need to decide on a name before i go back to college because i would hate to change it a billion times💔 heres some preferences + things about me:

the names im drawn to seem (atleast to me) to be 1, less common where i live and 2, not hyper masc leaning maybe thats due to their uniqueness?? anyways i myself feel between traditional masculinity and androgynous but masc leaning so i dont want to go by like. chris or john. (i picked den to be short for denver cuz i didnt like dennis, but i sometimes like denny) im american and white but im open to european names that dont sound super ethnic. i like shorter names or ones that are nicknames for a longer version. nothing starting with vowels, nothing terribly ultra-cool sounding (zero, knox idk), and nothing that doesnt sound like a plausible name such as naming urself after an object.

i "used" to go by jesse like the guy from breaking bad, its the name i came out with that my parents still call me, i went by my first yr of uni, and i use it for irl stuff where i dont strictly need my legal name (like haircut or restaurant order). i picked it cuz at the time i felt more androgynous but it pmo when people would spell it the fem way or nickname me jess w/o asking so i want smth a bit more masc leaning. ive been considering Dex as of late but there are times where i dont feel cool enough😢

i have brown hair obvi, dont plan to dye it, blueish greyish maybe greenish? eyes w/ super small pupils, im short 5'4in, and very slim (i hope t will help me gain some weight but it may not be a tonnn bc of what ive seen in my genetics).. most of my clothes are black or grey, graphic tees, baggy jeans. only colors ill wear are if theyre like secondary on a graphic tee, mostly either red or blue. i dont accesorize a whole lot but i usually wear a dog tag necklace and a short dull spike bracelet

i had seen another guy talk about his hobbies and interests in a Name Me post so ig i'll include mine if it helps: video games (story driven, survival horror, action rpg, adventure, open world), any sort of media or literature with scifi or dystopian elements (jorjor wel, black mirror, eeaao, truman show, hunger games etc), building legos particularly technic cars and the lotr one, collecting vinyls/cds, my fav animals are rlly just any canine, music (midwest emo, various subgenres of punk and metal, industrial, ebm, goth), skateboarding, 2d art/drawing. i like aesthetics of small town, 90s/2000s, grunge, oregon as i like to call it (outdoors, woods, mountains), southern gothic, graffiti, abandoned buildings, foggy/rainy/stormy weather.. thats about all i can think of

what gives it away besides my voice and build

pre everything :p not going for fully traditional masc (short hair nerfs me) not completely nb or androgynous either but if anything just not fem at all

idk i feel like my face/jawline looks more narrow on camera than it is irl cuz of the distortion

i also just got my hair cut a few hrs ago so i havent showered and styled it my own way yet
