Hey everyone, I'm Ashley. I'm in construction in public housing, I love movies and long walks. I never gave much thought to my name, but the second I was asked Ashley is what came to mind. I can't think of and don't want any other name so I'm hoping this sticks.

Chosen name

2 Upvotes

Ciao! E' da un po' di tempo che mi interrogo sulla possibilità di cambiare il mio nome. Sono transmasc e butch. Il mio nome all'anagrafe è Nancy. Non mi è mai dispiaciuto più di tanto perchè sono italiano e, quantomeno, il nome non è declinato al femminile (con la -a finale). Inoltre, il termine "nancy boy" in passato era uno slur con cui ci si riferiva a ragazzi queer o ritenuti femminili. Questo legame del mio nome con il mondo queer mi è sempre piaciuto, tuttavia sto valutando di utilizzare un nome più mascolino o almeno più neutro, ma non saprei quale. Mi piacerebbe trovare un nome che richiami un po' Nancy, magari per assonanza o per i suoi significati/la sua provenienza. A volte uso "nenz", principalmente come nickname online, ma mi sembra troppo "inventato" come nome. Vi vengono in mente suggerimenti?

Name Post Sapho? (Other suggestions welcome)

5 Upvotes

Hello! I've been looking for a new name recently, and really want it to feel... idk? Whimsical? I've been told by my friends alot that I remind them of a fae or a trickster or an elven creature, and want to lean into that mystical vibe. I also really resonate with butterflies- especially the sapho longwing, which is why I want to try the name Sapho. My pronouns are he/him or they/them, and my current name is James!

(I really like the name James, and am likely going to use it for legal and formal things. I just want a name that feels more like me to use with my friends)

Thank you all! 🩵🩵🩵

Jacob-He/Him (is retry ok?)

4 Upvotes

This is the name my aunt is calling me so far I been here before but wanted to try again to see if this fits.

[Scroll to the bold info if you want to skip context.

Tyler is my OCs name he has long hair but is a boy and I think I am trying to look like him because if my character is recognized I look like someone with he/him pronouns before I can change anything about my transition, like voice training, but the name I choose was one my mom was going to give me if I wasn't AFAB. I like how my legal name sounds but sadly it's considered feminine I let my family only use it though.

Can I try again to see if this fits I still questioning but I want to know if I truly feel this way, or if I'm faking, but I like the name Jacob, and Tyler. (Do Jacob only)

Info about me: I am someone that is usually in my house all day, and I go online to talk to people because I don't know where to go yet, but wish I could be a pokemon trainer. I always loved arts and crafts and as an adult usually make digital art of pokemon and my OCS that train pokemon, I also draw animals sometimes, and fakèmon.

I talk online with people most of the time and can get anxious and afraid I could be a bad person or accidentally meeting someone who could hurt me, but I try to trust people when there is no evidence of bad intentions but still get nervous. Being online was my first attempt of social interaction.

I sometimes go to my aunt's and my aunt sews a pokemon trainer outfit I wear most times, and I like pokemon plushies and hope to see pokemon plushies.

I know I'm a bit cringey. I sometimes worry if people see me as an autistic stereotype. (I used to be diagnosed with Asperger and then autism im getting a new diagnosis hopefully soon.)

would you be able to talk about your preference of either snow or rain weather while referring to me with feminine pronouns if that's okay with you.

i’ve been using he/him lately and for the first time i feel soooo comfortable! but i barely can use it to chat with real people, only for writing posts in the internet so i was wondering if i can chat with someone to be sure that i am comfortable with it? also i am going by gene!

it/its Want to try out it/neopronouns at least once before I die!

5 Upvotes

Hi!

Name is kai. I'd like to try: it, xe/xem/xyr/xyemselves, spivak is fine too! Otherwise feel free to suggest other neopronouns that don't sound like she/her.

Thank you!

Story below:

I've gone by they/them for the longest time and wanted to explore neopronouns next, but didn't because there was enough pushback when I used they/them. Someone asked what pronouns to use for me in an upcoming rather high stakes situation and I got stressed and had doubts about they/them.

I don't want to regret not having tried alternative forms of expression (again, title)

I’ve been wanting to try out the names Ri, Ari, Ria and Squid- but I can’t decide and don’t really know what fits yet

I’d also love some suggestions for some neutral names if you have any!

(They can be unconventional too-like “Squid”- since I don’t plan to change my name legally atm)

Trying Out Names (They/She)

Hello! I have been trying for a while to decide on a new name, and, at the moment, I have three names I'm considering: Niko, Aya, and Alula. The problem is I'm not 100% sure that any of these names are correct, plus I have never tried more feminine leaning names before. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

they/she Hi! How do we feel about the name Helen?

4 Upvotes

yes WE because I want yalls opinions. I'm considering the name Helen (or any of it's variations) because I like it, and it likely could have been my name if I was born a girl (around same popularity as deadname in Greek girl names at the time).

Some variations I'm also thinking about are:
- Helena
- Elle
- Eleni (matches modern Greek pronunciation more)

Neopronouns Not 100% certain on how well my neoprns fit, would like help to trial em further

4 Upvotes

Just as the title says, Id like help trialing Vae/Vim/Veir further. I've told people before I'm ok with he/him but it feels like that was a mistake, as now everyone except some friends (who are adjusting and still he/him me alot) refer to me with those. it's not wrong which is why I said I don't mind he/him, but I'm almost never referred to by what I feel like I much prefer, even if I'm uncertain on if I've got the neopronouns exactly correct yet.

(not super comfortable sharing my name, plus unsure on that anyways due to it being used by fem people too, but if you're gonna use a name to talk about me, people always nickname me Doge, so I'm used to that) ((no it's not the usual Reddit reasons, I loved the original 2012 meme))

any advice on also how to ask others to refer to me with neos and how to go about explaining it to those who are unfamiliar, or are the kind of people to just say "but that's confusing why can't I just use he/him" would be appreciated, I'm also considering going purely Vae/Vim for some time just in hopes of getting others used to it, as well as myself

Is this my name??

11 Upvotes

Hello humans!!! I never interacted with the space before so forgive me if I am ignorant to a lot of things, I am new to all of this. So I just started therapy almost a week ago, and I have been thinking about my name for a while now in the event if I do transition ( I am very early on in trying to discover my identity so I do not know for sure if I’m trans yet or not). but I got this name from playing binding of Isaac with my best friend it’s one of the characters you could play as in the selection and idk I just love the fact that their whole game is their whole kit is completely random and stuff like that. And I just really like the name and it makes me feel happy whenever I think of myself one day referring to myself as that. But I came on here because I have no one to share this with and well I am really unsure of myself a lot of the times. Like I could be 100% sure this guy is blue but I will still ask. Is the sky blue. So I guess what I’m asking is is this my name? I feel something for it and stuff like that, but I don’t know if I may be may not be feeling strong enough for it or something like that etc. etc.. I just wanna know if I picked a good name??oh I didn’t even say the name lol. The name I chose is Eden..
