Cristian or Florian?

I'm ftm, and currently go by a short, "out-there" name that many people think is a nickname. On top of that, it is difficult for my family to pronounce. Which do you like better, Cristian ("Kris-ti-AHN") or Florian ("Flo-ri-AHN)? I'll probably be keeping my "nickname" name for day-to-day and friends.

Florian-

Pros: I really love it, and if I ever have a child I would name them Florian, except I most likely will never have children.

Cons: Sounds a bit old-man, and the nickname Flo is typically more feminine and seems pretty common for old ladies out here in the US of A. Also, my dad has a friend named Florian, but he's not that close so I don't envision is being a huge problem.

Cristian-

Pros: Has a similar starting sound to my current name, eh, it's a good name.

Cons: I'm not religious, also in Romania (where my family is from) the nickname is Cristi, a feminine name here in the US, which would be pretty embarrassing if a friend heard my, I don't know, grandma calling me that.

Let me know what y'all think! Also, if you want to suggest other names in a similar vein, I'd love to hear them.

Is "Azrael" a bad choice name to use as a Genderfluid individual?

I brought up wanting to be called Azrael to my grandma once in the past but she dismissed it as "No one will call you that" so instead I went with Jackson instead. Jackson is very close to my birth name and I use it everywhere; at work, at school, friends, family. However, when it comes to how I'd like to actually be called, I'd prefer Azrael. The problem is, I am too embarrassed to actually voice this to anyone IRL based on what my grandma said; plus "Azrael" holds religious connotations as well which my family is against.

Is Azrael really a bad name? Should I stick with Jackson? I have been using both, but it feels divided.

I know, I can't change how I am referred to right now; but maybe someday I can.

Considering Rorschach/"Rory"

Been considering actual irl names instead of online aliases for a while. I was considering the name Rorschach (no, not explicitly after the comic character), or Rory for short. I like unique names, so if y'all don't like that I'm open to suggestions.

Would like name opinions

Hello! I’ve been debating names. I was hoping I could get some opinions or maybe new suggestions. I am not sure what name I look like. Name ideas I have are Vernon, August, and Kit. For Vernon, my boyfriend said it would be like a trans woman naming herself Mildred. Vernon is a family name and I’m very used to hearing it. So, I am not sure if it really sounds that old. I think August is cool. I do worry about being called Auggy. Kit is nice and short. My family has just been calling me “kid” lately. Which gave me the idea of Kit.
My middle name will be Gilbert, so keep that in mind. For name suggestions, I’d like a name that sounds a little old fashioned or not too common. I’d like it to be a name that people in America wouldn’t have trouble pronouncing.

I need help changing my name

My given name is Abigail, but I am seeking to transition to a nonbinary identity and adopt a gender-neutral name. I am particularly interested in names similar to Abigail; so far, I like the name Robin. However, I cannot choose Robin because I previously named my pet snake Robin, and I dislike other options currently. I would greatly appreciate your help in finding a suitable name. By the way, I strongly dislike the name Abby.

Help me pick a unisex name that pairs well with the last name Ellis! Pleeease

Hey everyone! It’s a very exciting time for me, I’m moving to the UK and I can finally change my gibberish of a first name to something that I like.

For the past 5 years people have mostly called me Kate (which isn’t my legal name), and I like it buuuut. I’m trans masc, living as non-binary so why keep a girls name if I’m changing it anyway and starting a new life.

So I need some cool name that sounds good with my last name (Ellis) and that will sound like a unisex name for people in the UK. I don’t want a predominantly male name because I haven’t come out as trans masc so it’d make a lot of everyday situations awkward for me.

Pleeease share some options 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Is it normal for a new name to feel weird at first? + does this name suit me?

Not sure if this is the right flair

Basically what the title says, I’ve recently changed my name, but it feels strange when someone uses it. Is that normal, does it go away with time, and does it mean it’s the wrong name.

Also I chose Léo, do you think it suits me?

Suggestions for neutral names with good nickname potential pretty please!!!

Hello! I’m looking to change my name from my current legal one to something a bit more fitting! My current legal name is not my birthname but the circumstances around getting it legally changed don’t have the best memories attached and the name doesn’t fit my current understanding of my gender.

I’m looking for something VERY neutral. Or even better a traditionally feminine or masculine name with a nickname that typically given to the “opposite” gender. For example I’ve liked Adonis with the nickname Addie or Madden with the nickname Maddie. Something like how most people associate the nickname Charlie with men but it can also be a nickname for Charlotte!

I do want my name to have significance to me. Things that are important to me are dogs (my special interest, theater, shows like Sabrina the teenage witch and bojack horseman, anything Disney, Overwatch (cringe I know), and my heritage (English, Irish, and German). Important people in my life are my great grandfather, Rayford Eugene, and my brother, Miles.

Overall, I want some option for names that have a nickname with different gender connotations, have a meaning to me, and MUST work with the middle name Benjamin, which I will be keeping. I know this is a lot of criteria but if anyone has suggestions please let me know!!!

I want a name like/related to Cerberus.

I really like the name Cerberus, but I have a few reservations. I feel like it is to long, and I can't find a way to shorten it in a way I like. I also feel like I won't be taken seriously with that name, and others might view it as more masc then I want it to be. I am wanting to see how others feel about it and also would love to hear other name suggestions too!

What name(s) fit me

I have a couple of names I'm sitting on but I don't know if they fit me so I want to see if they show up in anyone's suggestions. I'm also about to buzz my hair in case that has any impact.
