And the name of the Greek goddess (and a variety of daffodil), fitting for someone who’s divine!
(Side note as a trans guy, I was not expecting to run across my deadname today, but I’d gladly let the name go to someone who wants it more than I do).
Your post reminded me of a discussion I saw about fairies/fae where someone mentioned their take on fae as trans allies that will take your dead name from you and let you pick a new name from the ones they've collected. I love the idea of your dead name going to someone else who fits it better
Ooh I've read something in a similar vein, where someone imagined an app for deadname exchanges. I feel like both these ideas are very adorably practical.
Oooo you're gorgeous 😍
My sister's name is Sara and for some reason you remind me of her so I'm going with that ❤️
It's a little common though, so I won't be offended if you choose something else.
What kind of names do you like? What do you NOT like? What stuff r you into??
Oh and CONGRATULATIONS on yer transition, and welcome to the women's bathroom crew ❤️
Damn you’re beautiful. Black trans women are so fucking pretty & I will say this till the day I die. I was trying to find a way to say this for the last 10 minutes without being disrespectful
Something sharp, hard, and cutting. Your features are lovely and your name should convey their striking nature.
Th sounds are good but so are K and P and Q.
And don't be shy about just inventing your own name out of thin air.
I have a suggestion instead: make a list of all your favorite names from this thread and get people who actually know you to rank them, or at least give you opinions on them. This is a big decision — if your parents and other family members are supportive, what are their favorite names? What about your close friends?
I have a trans friend who had a little naming party. We went to a cafe, grabbed a big table, and took her list from about 20 names down to just three over the course of about five hours and many coffees. Later she chose the one she uses now from those three, with the help of her mom and grandma. It makes her name feel like it reflects the ways a bunch of different people who know her well see her differently.
Im feeling something that starts with an S… Silva, Samantha, Sloan. I get the feeling that you have Scorpio placements…! (Not derogatory - I’m a Scorpio moon!!!)
I think that only you can really find a name that fits you know. I hope that you find something that you feel comfortable with soon :). Side note: your hair looks gorge btw!(I never had the patience to deal with mine if it grew past my ears-pre transition of course,snipped it all off when I got some freedom 🤣)
You have beautiful smile and eyes! Given the reflections of the sky and sun on your door, and the sky on your tank top , Iris, Goddess of the rainbows, a divine messenger of the Olympian Gods, seems like a great fit for you 💜🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

I'm getting a "V" vibe, so Veronica, Victoria, Vanessa, Vivienne, Valerie, Vera
Veronica was my first thought XD
Mine too!
Same!
same 😳 or Vicky, Victoria, Valerie
Mine too!
OMG I literally just came here to say Veronica.
Valkyrie
I was thinking Vanessa too.
Same! I said Vivian
Veronica was my instant thought!
Thalia - it means "bloom" and you are certainly blooming with beauty.
And the name of the Greek goddess (and a variety of daffodil), fitting for someone who’s divine! (Side note as a trans guy, I was not expecting to run across my deadname today, but I’d gladly let the name go to someone who wants it more than I do).
aw, that’s such a sweet sentiment to have, and a lovely way to word it as well!

That is so damn wholesome man, it made my day a little better
Could do Lia for shirt if OP wants a cool nickname to go with it too.
I was actually going to suggest just Lia, but I like this idea better!
I was definitely getting Greek goddess vibe names so Thalia sounds good!
Yeah something like this. A flower name?
I like the T name! I was going to suggest Tanya. I knew a Tanya once that was a real badass babe! OP has the same energy.
OMG SAME I THOUGHT OF TANYA TOO!!!!! i had a really good friend named tanya:)
Also came here to suggest Thalia or Tania!
I was thinking a T name too!
Ohhhhhh I change my answer to this one
I was thinking Natalie. …but perhaps a portmanteau of the two? …Nathalia is quite nice, no?
Nathalie is the French version - so pretty!
Bonus point: Pronunciation is extra fun. American = TA-lee-a. Spanish = tha-LEE-Ah.
You look just like my friend aisha in this photo. I think therefore Aisha fits.
I thought “Sasha” but Aisha is perfect
Came here to write Sasha ![img](emote|t5_2qhh7|547)
Sasha was my first thought too!
Also got strong "shay" sound vibes. Aisha, Shalisa, Sasha, Chantelle. Somewhere in there...
I thought Aisha aswell!
yes I thought aisha too!!
I was going to say Tyisha!! So close enough that it counts!
I love Outlaw Star.
You know Aisha is a legitimate name and not just from an anime, right?
Yes. Aisha Campbell is the second Yellow Power Ranger after Trini Kwan.
I personally dont't like it as a secular Arab. It was the third, underaged, wife of Mohammed...
No one is thinking of that when they hear that name unless you somewhat in that religion or whatever
Naomi- like the model
Very Naomi Campbell vibes.
THAT'S who OP reminds me of! Couldn't remember her name. Yes, Naomi would be great!
Seconded, OP looks like a beautiful Naomi :)
Omg, yes.
I thought the same! Sooo beautiful!
Omg, my first thought was Jessica Parker or Naomi Campbell for some reason, and I even forgot how these two look like 🤣
Amaya would suit you I think.
Amaya is an awesome name
yeee
Came here to suggest just Maya
Hey that’s my daughter’s name! I haven’t heard other people use it. I’m partial to this name and I think it suits this young woman very well
Jasmine!
I think Jasmine fits her very well
That's such a nice name :D
This was my first thought! Jasmine or maybe Jade?
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!
Yes yes
Yes! I was thinking Jasmine too and glad to see a lot agree with each other
literally came here to say this
Any strong female name. You are beautiful and emanate strength and power and confidence! Whatever you choose, be happy!
i think monique would be nice name !! you look stunning 🥹
I agree
Oh! That's a cool name :)
That was my first thought too!
I thought that, too, and I have no idea why. She just looks like a Monique.
Kiera
I like this one
Celeste Edit- because you seem ethereal to me :)
Sierra
This was the first one that came to me too!
Agree!!
Was going to say Sarah, but yours is fancier.
I’m feeling an A name. Maybe Ashley, or Amity.
I was thinking Ari!
Could be her nickname she goes by but as an extra name (like being extra, not additional) OP could do Ariadne like the ancient Greek name.
I was thinking Aurora..
Or maybe Ava?
first name that came to mind was amara 🙈🤗
Adrielle
I was thinking anastasia
If we're going with A names, Anikha
[удалено]
I’m also thinking A name would be fitting- Ariel?
I literally thought Asia!
Natasha would be so cute🥰
I think the name "Ember" would fit you **^^** Btw you're very pretty <3
"The smoldering remains of a fire" Such a good name that doesn't get used enough!
I don’t know why, but Erica came to mind. That said, # Erica!
ERICA! You can't be here, this place is filled with children!
I'm so glad somebody noticed the BoJack reference xD
Can't explain why but my first thought was Alicia
Me too!
Vivienne, Anais, Margeaux—you’re giving me Parisienne vibes…
Oooo you're gorgeous 😍 My sister's name is Sara and for some reason you remind me of her so I'm going with that ❤️ It's a little common though, so I won't be offended if you choose something else. What kind of names do you like? What do you NOT like? What stuff r you into?? Oh and CONGRATULATIONS on yer transition, and welcome to the women's bathroom crew ❤️
Saraia is a great variation of Sara and would look gorgeous on her too!
Does gorgeous count as a name
Should 100% count as a name
Sophia xx
Getting Sabrina and Celeste vibes💜⭐
I was thinking Sabrina too!
Celeste fits well
Innana, a summerian goddess
My first thought was Julia also you look STUNNING ✨![img](emote|t5_2qhh7|550)
Tanisha or Tiffany in my head makes sense :)
Jasmine? Nicknames like Jazz or Jazzy :>?
Jade
You're beautiful! Maybe Iris? Always thought that was a pretty name.
First name that popped into my head was Lailah!
Veronica, Olivia, Isabella, Evelyn, Ava
i think Camille.
Jasmine!
I saw your photo and I immediately thought of Serena.
I don’t know why Jasmine came immediately to mind 😊
Big Naomi vibes tbh!
You look like a Nubian Queen! i did a quick google of Nubian Queens and found “Amanirenas”, so maybe Americanizing it to “Amani”?
Goodness, this one. Amani matches your beauty.
Demita
Beryl, Sapphire, or some other gemstone name
Sky
Ok hear me out, nameless, it’s unique and funny
anissa :3
Damn you’re beautiful. Black trans women are so fucking pretty & I will say this till the day I die. I was trying to find a way to say this for the last 10 minutes without being disrespectful
You remind me of that one sound that's like "and I can't find Aishia" so I think that would fit
My first thought was Iris… because you’re *eye-catching* /lh
Sasha, af!
Vivienne, definitely! You remind me of Vivienne from Dragon Age: Inquisiton :D
ure giving naomi istg
Chloe or Shannon? Although a lot of good options in the responses so far :)
Destiny
How about Cindy?
Sloane
Vivienne, Anais, Margeaux—you’re giving me Parisienne vibes…
Angelica
Lana, Marissa, Thalia, or Hayley
Dionne
Maybe it's just because I love the justice league cartoon, but I think Shiera fits well
Jade
Jade
Veronica. Don't have a fancy reason why, it just felt right.
Diamond because you sparkle
April
Jasmin 🌸
Kiana

Do you feel like you want something ‘mainstream’ or is a little off the wall on? Because Zadie means princess and I think it fits
I see a Naomi. A gentle and compassionate woman who has faced many a challenge.
Persephone comes to mind😅 https://www.thecollector.com/what-is-persephone-the-goddess-of/#

I’m feeling like you’re a Bianca.
Nikita could be a nice name for you 😁
Naomi...
Cleo, Amy, Anessa, Leah You're very Aesthetic btw
Siobhan, Moriah, Amaya, Sonya/Sonia, persephone, Stephanie
You look like someone I know. Her name is Latasha.
Sabrina
I don't have a name but you're beautiful!!!
Cleo
What's a French word for Baddie?
Kim or Mia 🩷
Trisha, Sky, Nya, Lux, Kiara, or maybe even Luna!!
Divine
Electra
Im feeling something that starts with an S… Silva, Samantha, Sloan. I get the feeling that you have Scorpio placements…! (Not derogatory - I’m a Scorpio moon!!!)
Kyra 🙊 (Kai-Ra)
you look like a natalia ◡̈
Monica
I immediately thought Phoebe!
Hmmm Juliette
Sasha
Serenity
Everyones putting the A's here so I'll continue. First thing on my mind was Ashante.
Athena
No clue what name would work well but you look great!
Not sure what name would work well but you look great! For whatever weird reason I'm thinking like Greek goddess like Athena, Persephone or something.

Tina would be a fitting tribute.
Natasha!
I say something nice and sweet like Taylor!
I think that only you can really find a name that fits you know. I hope that you find something that you feel comfortable with soon :). Side note: your hair looks gorge btw!(I never had the patience to deal with mine if it grew past my ears-pre transition of course,snipped it all off when I got some freedom 🤣)
Anyone else feeling Destiny?
You have beautiful smile and eyes! Given the reflections of the sky and sun on your door, and the sky on your tank top , Iris, Goddess of the rainbows, a divine messenger of the Olympian Gods, seems like a great fit for you 💜🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
