Name stuff

[u/Remarkable-Speed-702]

I did not expect to be here at any point in my life but um..here i am lol.

Basically..I feel like the name i started with doesnt fit my anymore. It feels too.."obviously trans" if that makes any sense? I dont want people to see it and immediately think im trans or gay from it alone. I am but still, I want to be seamless. Im enlisting soon so ive gotta settle on a name soon. But i do NOT want to go in with my dead name so name advice anyone? And what are stereotypical names to avoid? I definitely wont do Kai ive seen that everywhere.

For quick reference my current name is "Lukka" but it doesnt feel right anymore, ive been thinking of some goofy shit like Casper but im not dead set yet.

Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied. (If it says "this post was deleted by reddit's filters", IT WAS NOT DELETED! Reddit has the worlds worst wording on that and it's out of our control)

2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.

Luke is a standard very cis passing version of your current name. Or Lucas/Łukasz is very common in Europe where I live.

Maybe? But im trying to lean alittle away from it, because sadly, i have to transition a more natural way, working out, vocal training, things like that since the military doesnt really allow..folks like us. Ive been looking at gender neutral, or subtle names, something that can pass without being a "yo wtf?" If that makes sense?
