I didn't ask my parents what name they wanted for me when they knew I was trans, I had asked them 6 years previous to me coming out (I came out aged 12) and the name they wanted was Diezel and I loved it so I remembered it for years and shorten it at school to Daz. My parents aren't accepting but as my schools first out trans student they are taking it very well. Diezel is a Scottish name and I'm half Irish and half ??? and Irish and Scottish are quite similar in terms of names, language and origin so it seems right for me and I've been going by Daz for about 3 years now.

Hopefully this can help 1. Take your time. Play around with different names or variations of a name or go back to previous ones until you find one that suits you. You'll need to be patient since not all the time you can find a perfect name quickly. Don't beat yourself up about it take your time because this is your naming journey so really you're just researching and playing with names until you find something that fits. You're never ever a burden. This is about a name that is to help you feel comfortable not a name to make other people comfortable about you. You really are allowed to March to the beat of your own drum since this is about you,

[@clairemckinley691]

I have never told anyone in real life the name I have chosen for myself (Eli), but I still have a story of how I came to pick that name. Initially I wanted a name that started with the same letter as my birth name (which you can see as my account name, I'm too terrified to change it), and I too wanted a space/astronomy themed name. After a while I decided on Castor, which is one of the brightest stars in the night sky and just seemed like a really cool masc leaning gender neustral name. However after a bit I felt that it was a bit too strange, and I wasn't too sure the best way to pronounce it in an Australian accent. Then I moved on to finding a name that was similar to my birth middle name (Ellen), and while perusing baby name websites, came across Eli. It wasn't a space themed name, but I really connected with it. I'm not sure whether I ever want other people calling me that name, or just use it for myself. I probably have to come out first ahaha Awesome vid Ashton. Also, do people ever shorten your name to Ash? Or do you prefer people to say Ashton?

My biggest thing about changing my name is that I really like my name and it means a lot to me because of the journey I took with it, but it isn't neutral enough for me :( I'm tempted to ask my parents if they could come up with a new name but I feel like it might be too much for my mom specifically (she struggles more with my identity)

[@saturnfive_]

On the last day of Elem. School a while back, I was with my friends at a Sweet Frog (frozen yogurt place, you may have heard of it). One of my friends came with his family, and I saw his mom, baby sister, and his brother, who looked about 13. I asked, "Is that your brother?" He said, "yeah he's trans," and then quickly said, "gotta go," and he seemed very embarrassed. I haven't seen him since, but some of my other friends text him, yet I haven't told them what he said. I wish I could tell him that he shouldn't feel embarrassed and that I appreciate the LGBTQ community. I want everyone to know that people out there care for them even if it doesn't seem like it.

[@kestrel6642]

I spent like, a year on baby naming websites, adding to a list of potential ones and narrowing it down. I ended up choosing Kestrel because it isn’t really gendered one way or another, the first site I saw it on said masculine then another said feminine. It’s a type of bird, a small bird of prey, and I really like the way it sounds, my friends call me Kes, my little siblings call me Kessy or they try to say Kestrel, but their four and five so pronunciation is not their strong suit. There were names on the list, even in the top five that were there because they had the same first initial or the name my parents were going to give me, but none of those really fit and they were only really there because I thought other people would find it easier to come to terms with if they were similar, which isn’t necessarily the best way to choose a name.

I personally think it's good to come out when you are younger as it gives you time to settle into your newfound identity as you grow, plus taking things like puberty blockers (if they are available to you, and safe to use) might stop any stronger dysphoria from any very typically female/male (I don't know which applies to you) characteristics.

im an afab teen, identifynig as agender (leaning masc) my birthname (which im only comfortable sharing becuase none of yall know me) is artemis, inspired by the greek goddess. Ive been going by my childhood nickname, which is still a "girl" name, but it's from a different culture and not at all common where im from- its pronounced like a guys name but spelled more fem, and im happy with that. still, i wish i had thought of changing my name to apollo bc it wouldve been cool and its more masc than my current name (which i still like dw it works for me rn but im becoming less and less fem)

@Avery weird question, you don’t have to answer, but as an agender person , what pronouns do you use? I do any/all, so they/he/she, but I’m curious as to what others do

a thing abt ur name and internet friends: it’s a good idea to tell them how to pronounce it! since ur probably telling them ur name over text, they may be pronouncing it in their head all wrong. i changed my name from finn to dallon, and my best friend thought it was pronounced like “dale-on”. (its supposed to sound like Dallas, but with an o instead of an a)

I looked up the name Ashton on urban dictionary a few years ago because it's my cousin's name, and it (apparently) means, "The act of being reincarnated as an Eskimo. Ex: I hope I ashton after my death." Also I think Ashton is an awesome name and it really suits you.

My name is Grey but I really like the name Yuri aswell and I already changed my name due to me being a trans demiboy so I’m struggling a lot with my identity and I already told everyone my name is Grey but I don’t wanna say I changed my name again :(

My birth name is Maggie, and ive been thinking about going by Valentine after Vincent Valentine since I’m a huge fan of FF, but I wonder if it sounds too feminine? D: I also considered Reno, since I love him a lot and think his name is quite cool. I kind of want an FF inspired name but I’m not sure how to go about it… ^^’’

[@macmac3852]

What do you think a masculine (trans male/demiboy) version of mackenzie?

[@i1uvsleep]

[@schwarzeasche7538]

btw there are german jewish ppl, also there are many names that are originaly jewish but are used in german (and english) as common names, because of biblical tradition, so the example was not perfect... (I get what your saying tho)
