Blake/Blaine (she/them)

I’m AMAB, but I identify as femme-leaning NB. I feel like Blake can be a neutral name, but I’m drawn more to the name Blaine. I’m pretty confident that it can be used with they/them pronouns, but I’m not sure how it would sound with she/her pronouns. I’d also like to hear any opinions on this. Thanks!

Can I try the name Pads? (She/her)

My middle name is Lilypad and I'm wanting to try a nickname coming from my middle name. (Mostly because I can't think of any good nicknames for my first name haha)

Atlas (He/They)

Hi I'm a Transmasc Agender person currently using a masculine name but I wanted to see how a more 'genderless' name would feel. So I'm trying out Atlas! I currently use He/It/They pronouns but just He/They is fine.

I enjoy creative short story writing, drawing, TMNT, endurance running and building models of vehicles.

Poem

Hi I'm trying out Poem as my name. I was wondering what vibes you get from the name, or what kind of person you think would fit it. Also any of those tryout sentences would be cool (thanks!) (they/he)

Name help

Hi so i posted a few days ago about how i was questioning. Ive come to the pretty strong realisation that actually I’m not as happy as i thought i was and really do wish i could be a girl a lot of the time. But now I’m stuck between three names and i just want input out of curiosity on which one sounds the best to go by i would use she/her with every name and I’ve included reasons for the names but i just cant seem to pick what one i like the most

Rose (my favourite flower) Chloe (my favourite character from a game that changed my life) Addison (i just thought this name was pretty)

Need some help with narrowing down. Pls read description. (He/they, ftm)

My name now is Irish, and I don't have a substantial lineage in that department, my parents just liked Irish culture a LOT. I want to keep that origin since it feels right and like a part of me. For some background about me, I am definitely a guy, but I'm a guy that like wearing heels and makeup and a ton of jewelry sometime. I wouldn't call myself super androgenous, I'm more like a guy doing drag mindset-wise. I like art, poetry, reading, astrophysics, anime, rock and metal music, and photography. Here are some of the names I've like. This is only part of the list, but I mostly want to know if any of these one's sound like they could still be possibilities or if they are too complicated looking:

  • Airechtach (Ahr-uck-tuck), Airech for short, sort of sounds like Eric this way
  • Donnchadh (Don-ah-kah) Maybe Donn for short
  • Ainbheartoch (An-VAR-tock) Either Ainbhear (An-var) or just Bhear (Var) for short
  • Éireamhón (Air-ah-vone) Maybe no nickname, but it would probably be Éir for short
  • Eochaidh (Oak-ah) This is short enough, but Eoch (oak) would be cool for a nickname

These are all the ones that might be iffy in the lens of comprehension and confusing ppl if I care about that. Tell me if any of these don't match what I said about me as a person, or ask any questions if you want to get into the nitty gritty with it, haha

Ayre (She/Her)

So, I'm a guy...I think. But recently I've been kinda batting with the idea of kinda...not? being a guy? And I've recently gained what I've been told is gender euphoria from my friend kinda playing with the idea that I could be a girl, or simply an egg or boymoder. Regardless, uhm, I'm not exactly sure how this all works (despite reading the rules and post setup) So I'm really curious if I do get the euphoria from being referred to as a girl. Uh Thank you? How do I end this post-

Xavia Raine (she/her)

Hi all, I‘ve been thinking about names recently and feel like this might be the one for me :)

I‘m 26 (amab) and have always wanted to have a middle name! Unfortunately I wasn‘t given one at birth, so I intend to correct that now.

Also, I‘ll probably go with just Raine in everyday life.

I really like drawing and storytelling, even though I‘ve had the latter on hold for a long time since I lost most of my „spark“ and creativity. But I still dream about becoming an author one day.

I also like music a lot and love composing!

Hi my name's Fillian, but I'm trying out this middle name and wanted to see how much euphoria it might give me to be addressed by it as a first name.
