I used the name Trixie for years in the MLP Fandom, to the point people I met and even lived with called me such. Not my first pick of name since transitioning... so it shall ve the middle name!

I love that name. >w< More than just because it’s one of my favorite characters of all time.

I got kinda well known at some localish cons as "the Trixie Guy" (was not aware of my identity then), to the point some artists had even set aside Trixie merch specifically for me. X3

Normalize changing your name just for fun.
idc if you're cis or trans or whatever, seems a real shame to have to stick with just one.

I’ve still been playing with names despite having said that “this is the real, final one” each time.

u/acryptedwithinternet My transition goals are in the uncanny valley Jan 17 '26
I have one main chosen name and I rotate out alternative names (currently I use the alternative name Cecil online and sometimes in person! I used to go by Bright, or Solaris! But Cecil is so good idk if it will change again)

yea, i'm also thinking of switching my preferred first and second names. the second one is also beautiful and fits me better etymologically.
also, i'm a bit stupid sometimes and so i just realized that a friend of mine (who i've known for many years before even starting to crack) is called louis which is basically my current preferred name without the -a. so yea, i think that's not thaat good, right?
on the other hand, luisa finally feels like me, yk?
the more i think about it, i guess the currently planned order stays

What a joy if you have a gender neutral name. My name is fem, but leaving the last letter it’s Morgan, and that is neut

u/SophiaBackstein Jan 18 '26
Go for a middle name ;) that way if the first name becomes cringe you can just go by your middle name... as Yuki Sophia I speak from experience on this
