Every name i like is taken by someone i know 😭

They would all for sure be weirded out if i started going by their name. If i were to do that, i would feel like a creep trying to copy their lives and replace them. Or at least to me that's the optics of it

I wanna know how I feel about this new name

So for context I am mtf pre everything unfortunately. My current name is Justin but I’ve been floating around the idea of my name being Jamie, I wanna see how that feels

Kay, he/they

Hello everyone!! After years of agonizing over name possibilities, at the moment I seem to have settled on Kay. I know it's kind of effeminate, but I'm an effeminate guy 🤷‍♂️ my current name is more traditionally masculine but it doesn't feel right at all.

If someone could use the name in a couple sentences or something that'd be much appreciated 💕 my interests include horror movies, D&D, Baldur's Gate 3, and anything spooky or occult!!

Genevieve they/them or she/they

Hi everyone, I’m Genevieve (21F) and I’m not changing my name, but I’m thinking about using the pronouns listed above, but I don’t know how to decide. Luckily I was recommended this subreddit through a post I made on r/nonbinary to get some perspective and one of the comments recommended I try this subreddit to help me decide.

So here are some topics to help:

  1. I love playing video games
  2. I love to listen to music
  3. I want to learn how to rollerblade
  4. I love to watch movies/tv shows
  5. I love my younger brother more than anything in the world

Thanks in advance!
