r/transnames

I’m a femme gender-fluid so try not to give any strictly neutral or strictly gendered names. Thanks

i have been going by mars for some time now because its a nickname of my deadname but honestly i need something new that is more masculine!!!

AFAB here. I usually go by Ash, a name made off of my deadname Ashley. and as someone whose second name is Billie. I dont want to use either. both of them are gender neutral but it just bugs me a lot. I dont care much masculine it sounds I just dont want anything to do with femininity. I have no name preferences, and nothing comes to my mind so help me out here! but ive been going with Andrew these days so I really dont know, but id like it if it was unisex.

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

I've been looking for a name for 8 years now. None of them feel like me. So far I've used Kastor, Kalikst, Eric and Sava. I'd love something neutral, preferably old or maybe a noun? Idk. What comes to mind when you see me?

i use they/she pronouns and would prefer names that are both androgynous and a bit feminine

Looking for neutral/non binary names you think would fit me. But can you also throw in a feminine name you could see me having just for shits and giggles?

I’ve been going by Ezra so far, more so temporarily bc I didn’t want to go by my birth name while I figure out what I actually want to be called.

People have been saying that Ezra suits me and that I look like an Ezra, but I just don’t vibe with it.

I’ve been looking at other names, but I get worried that I don’t fit the name, and it’s especially difficult since I still look like a woman rather than a man (being on testosterone for only 10 months)

My main idea for a name, as of now, is Killian, followed by Nikolai (my birth name was Russian so I thought another Russian name would be neat, so my friend suggested this one, but I may just keep it as a middle name 🤔)

Picking a name is so difficult 😅

Just curious! Any theme

I’m fortunate that my name is already androgynous, ‘Logan’, but if you had to pick something more feminine what are we going with? I love the idea of it still being an L since my initials are literally LGBT, so let’s have fun with that! I’ve tossed around a few myself; Lana, Lorin, my personal favorite so far is Leyla, but let me know what you think!

I’ve been going by Ezra but want some more options because it feels very clocky for me, go wild! Names not starting with E may also be considered but I’ve found I like that initial the most.

I love edgier masculine-leaning names that aren't common or well-known, but I'm reaching my mid 20s now and would like a name that will suit me well regardless of age.

My intention isn't to blend in because I have always loved embracing the inheret social 'weirdness' of being an autistic trans person, so trying to find a balance between 'unique' and 'would look okay on legal documents' is pretty hard.

I already have a list of names that I like the sound of and have tested in social situations, but none of them have 'clicked' with me yet.

From most to least liked:

Donovan/Donnie, Cadet/Cade, Atlas, Atticus, Theta, Nexus/Nex, Tristan, Sheridan, Victor, Benny, Corvus, Connor

Any suggestions would be appreciated 🙏

All opinions welcome! I’m a woman.

having a really hard time picking a new name :/
