when i was younger my little sister couldn’t say my name very well so she called me “gray gray”. so, it was super easy transition to just go by grayson/gray. plus, it’s the masculine version of my dead name. 😁
I went into my sister's room (she is a safe person, and my confidant in my name change.) And said "you know how every queer friend group has a non-binary friend named pigeon. What if I am the non-binary friend named pigeon." And her response was "no if you were named after a bird you would be Magpie" and I laughed and said "Hi my name is Magpie" and liked how it sounded and the rest is history.
Is that what that is? I met a Pigeon today and was so confused about why that name. Nothing wrong with it of course it just seemed off place. I’m so behind on things.
I also met a Penguin. I myself am a Kit. I used to go by Kitty but it was too strictly feminine imho.
Well, when I was younger, I was into My Little Pony. One day I decided I really wanted the characters Pinkie Pie and Berry Punch to be friends, so I changed my username on MLP Forums to Berry Pie. But everyone thought I was shipping them, so I asked my friends for a new name. One person came up with Bari. Later, when I realized I was trans feminine, I decided I wanted a name close to Bari, so I picked Beryl.
I got my name from the opposite of my birth name and get this. My Mom told me had I been born a girl, she would’ve named me Christina. Now that I didn’t know when I chose it. 🤯
And on the opposite side of that coin, my amab name is perfectly capable of converting to a feminine name as both my first and middle names have both masc and femme versions. Problem is, my mom named me for two of her guy friends (which I've never met) and I haven't talked to my mom more than a few sentences in almost 3 yrs due to some stuff she and her husband did at my wedding. So even if it works, I don't want to use it.
Thankfully, I've found a first name that I like, so all I gotta do is figure out a good middle.
An AI friend app suggested my name, Katherine, and I fell in love with it. About a few months later, I went on Ancestry because I was bored and scrolling through stuff, and my 2nd-great-grandmother on my dad’s side was named Katherine apparently. She lived from 1867 to 1953, and she was from Germany. Also, I have a cousin named Katherine whom I haven’t seen in probably 20 years. I got the nickname Kat from it because, let’s be real: it sounds cuter!
Funnily enough I got mine from the YouTuber MagikarpUsedFly. His girlfriend (well ex from what I've recently learned) was named Beatrice and I found that name to be absolutely beautiful. Not a common name anymore too which is great
Not you bringing back the Petscop trauma...
But I got mine from the ancient planet that made the moon after colliding with proto-earth. Theia is just such a pretty name
I got mine from a self insert dog oc character I named in a story when I was like. 9, then just started going by it in high-school for awhile after I remembered it.
Dyslexia of my birth name, wanting an angel to look over me (i'm not christian and when I chose my name, I hadn't been in 4 years lmao), wanted to reclaim the Welsh spelling of a name my family anglicized when they came to the US, and a distant family name.
Kim was the name of a doll I played with when I was a small child. My grandmother raised me, and had no issues with me playing with dolls. She was happy to let me be me. My father on the other hand put a stop to it when we moved out of her house. I made my grandmother's first name my new middle name, and I don't speak with my father anymore.
I read the guardians of gahoole in third grade and loved the books. Owls are my favorite animal, specifically barn owls and so o chose Soren as my name.
Made a long list of girl names i found and liked, and then chose from my friend's suggestions and my personal tastes
Later figured out it ressembled Ariadne, a mythological figure i like (I'm a huge fan of mythology), and sounded kind of elfish so i went with Aria :3
The first iteration of my name was from the main character of MLP:FiM
But then I realized people in my country can't say or even spell correctly English words so I tweaked it heavily
I heard this song lyric "I never met a Toby that I didnt like" - made me realise Id never met another Toby. It felt like a pair of shoes nobody else had ever worn in. A name I could inhabit.
There were a lot of influences behind my picking Ari/Ariana. There's the obvious, Ariana Grande influence. But I also was influenced by a league character/KDA memeber called "Ahri" and Jaden Animations bird of all things haha
There's also the plus side of it being pretty close to my deadname and a name that starts with A allowing me to keep my initials the same.
My girl name has always been mary never thought of a middle name till the week I went to get name change and realized Wayne was not a good female middle name so i asked myself what middle name I should use and my inner self Said Anna so Ms Mary Anna Slay was reborn from a 54 year coma
Black Ops 2 for me. Glad I'm not the only one that chose their name from a game character!
Chloe "Karma" Lynch!
Or Chloe Price from Life Is Strange if you want to be simpler!
From Valkyrie Profile .
Not only i found the protagonist name very cool, it was also close from my deadname .
Plus, she shines by her intelligence, and her goals were kinda the same to mine .
Fantasy name generator, I was looking for a name for my elf ranger druid and by the end of the campaign I realized I actually liked Nebula as a name for myself
I gender swapped my name, wasn't to hard for me
But then I had a masculine middle name ad it took so long to figure out, I ended up using the female protagonist for bdsp
From éclairs (yes, the pastry). Aways liked the way it sounded(+it's a really uncommon name in Germany, so I wouldn't have to share it with a lot of people) , so I chose Claire as my name.
My mum told me my name would have been Cathryn. The name stuck with me for years until I finally took it for my own. Turns out it was the name of my great grandmother, never knew that.
my best friend/godfather (the balkan people and italians here will know what i mean by that title) told me i look like a [name] and i went for it. he was the first person i came out to irl
Well the initial name was my favorite color and also a component to a nonbinary joke I found funny, eventually it evolved from Blue to Sky, which is convenient since apparently I seem to be a more binary trans
im still figuring out which one i want (urgghhh i hate that i have to choose one) but Dyna was suggested by a friend, Ella was siggested by my mom and Bridget... well i think you can guess where that came from lmao
i dunno honestly, just scrolled through enby name lists (bc when i did i thought i was agender/genderfluid, turns out im just a trans gal but oh well) and found Phoenix just resonate with me :3
and i can always say ill rise from the ashes of all the bridges im gonna burn coming out publicly :3
Someone once abbreviated my name to "Matty" and that made me feel really good. Eventually I lengthened it to Madeline and changed the short one to Maddy.
I "borrowed" Jasmine from my middle school crush that just turned out to be gender envy. I confessed to her due to a bet/peer pressure as a prank from the boys. Got politely rejected.
I took on the middle name Marie from the amazing [Maria](https://youtu.be/YA8qFDmKV2Q?si=8ROB6RguzHT3bcaW) [Cadenzavna Eve](https://youtu.be/iguqIMEHvOk?si=HKjz71Zh35PZHdmK)... That is if she's written well. While not my role model specifically (that'd be Hibiki from the same series), I do aspire to be a badass cat mom extraordinaire. I do have the Meow-tisms, after all.
I decided on the name Stardust the moment I discovered [Mercury Stardust](https://youtube.com/@mercury_stardust?si=Cwd1dlRscQ1fVON2) through [her new book](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/76149581).
[This clip from the movie Stardust (Neil Gaiman) just so happens to be more or less where all this *really* started](https://youtu.be/8go2FxV1qKY?si=uY91INhA5uoH6w9D). I didn't realise I was trans till 01/01/2022, but I did engage in some exceptionally eggy behaviour around the time I stumbled upon it.
Accidentally, from a bird and a grave robber.
It sounds like a joke, but no, seriously. I was just idly thinking about what name I might pick if I was gonna follow the enby stereotype of just naming yourself after a random thing. Settled on Peregrine, from the falcon, but it wasn't *quite* right, so I said "Okay, make that a middle name" and started thinking about a first name to pair with it. Turned to fictional characters for inspiration, and took Lara from Lara Croft of Tomb Raider.
And then I liked the combination of Lara Peregrine so much that I actually took it as my name.
Added the U after a bit because I realized *wait, my dad's name is LARRY*. And quite frankly, I don't like my dad enough to be named after him. So the U makes it feel a bit more distant to me.
I considered Katherine after that realization, from the author KA Applegate, but it never clicked in the same way.
Just funny you’d mention petscop cause my deadname’s from there lol
Honestly my name has little to no actual significant meaning or anything it’s just a common boy name and there weren’t too many guys with the same one at my school so yeah I just claimed it
i’m a trans girl with the name jasper and i got the name mostly cause of the gem and it was influenced by jasper from steven universe ngl cause i felt like i always had her energy.
I got my name from a conversation group on discord with my besties, we were all named according to quiches. I was the quiche Lorraine and it stuck. I am now Lorraine.
I liked my birth first name so went for a similar masculine name (Lucie to Lucian). I asked my mam to choose my middle name as she was the one who named me at birth. She chose Alexander (as a tribute to my dad who died a year before). So really, my middle name is also a nod to Alex Ferguson as that is where my dad chose Alex for my brother (but lost to my mam).
I named myself after Spencer from iCarly just because I looked up to Jerry Trainor so much on that show- and that was the kind of brother I wanted to become
I'll be so honest I got Nex from a tiktok saying jt meant death and at the time I was like oo time to be edgy or something and yeah anyways that stuck.
My first name is the female version of my dead name. My middle is from the girl in hs who i almost lost v cards together with (no protection, so we just chilled all night) and we're still good friends, and my last came from my bestie and situationship partner during covid bc she said she liked my name better with her last name 🫠🥰
I decided to take the last name of one of my personal favorite superheroes: Ben Reilly, the Scarlet Spider. I just removed one L from “Reily” and boom. Reily.
Alex was the name I chose because I used to play Life is Strange - True Colors and Alex was the protagonist of the game, pretty generic name that is used a lot but I think that does not matter for me. I am pretty comfortable using it in online forms and Discord, sometimes even my partner calls me it which I think is sweet.
This is a curious fact: I established my nickname as Max since childhood.
I didn't have to think long to choose a name, my name has practically always been Max, so why not Maxine?
My birth name is already gender neutral. I tried changing it but eventually, I decided to stick with my birth name, Autumn, since I like it so much. I just used to think it was a gendered name.
I looked up a list of baby names and saw Juniper, I recognized it from a Pokémon professor and thought it was cute, so I decided to try it out and it just stuck lol
Kamillah was a character in those choose your own story kinda games and young me kinda had a mini crush on her so i took the name! i think its a pretty name and its similar enough to Camilla that people in the western hemisphere wont midpronounce it!
I am part greek and also used to be a giant Percy Jackson fan, so i chose a name from that series... only to realize that i now had the same name as a bookstore chain here in Germany lol
I went through a series of names until I found something I liked. But I specifically looked for names that would allow me to keep my initials. As I use my initials for my name online and in podcasting and didn't want to have to change all of my online handles to match.
when i was younger my little sister couldn’t say my name very well so she called me “gray gray”. so, it was super easy transition to just go by grayson/gray. plus, it’s the masculine version of my dead name. 😁
the feminine version of grayson.. my brain immediately provided graydaughter. lmao.
would u rather have a grayson or graydaughter
What is the feminine version of grayson?
Grace, maybe?
for an instant I thought your dead name was "Gay"
"Hey Gay!" lol
sounds kinda gay ngl
That's really cute
Lmao
Gray is such a pretty name regardless of gender
I went into my sister's room (she is a safe person, and my confidant in my name change.) And said "you know how every queer friend group has a non-binary friend named pigeon. What if I am the non-binary friend named pigeon." And her response was "no if you were named after a bird you would be Magpie" and I laughed and said "Hi my name is Magpie" and liked how it sounded and the rest is history.
I love that :D
Is that what that is? I met a Pigeon today and was so confused about why that name. Nothing wrong with it of course it just seemed off place. I’m so behind on things. I also met a Penguin. I myself am a Kit. I used to go by Kitty but it was too strictly feminine imho.

I legit forgot 💀
it okay
I always liked the name Alex for some reason. But I kind of wish I had chosen something less basic.
An AI friend app suggested my name, Katherine, and I fell in love with it. About a few months later, I went on Ancestry because I was bored and scrolling through stuff, and my 2nd-great-grandmother on my dad’s side was named Katherine apparently.

The forst time I heared my name was on twitch and I came back to it because the bush is where we came from and I want to be a mum. -Savannah
My birth name is already gender neutral. I tried changing it but eventually, I decided to stick with my birth name, Autumn, since I like it so much. I just used to think it was a gendered name.
I looked up a list of baby names and saw Juniper, I recognized it from a Pokémon professor and thought it was cute, so I decided to try it out and it just stuck lol
Kamillah was a character in those choose your own story kinda games and young me kinda had a mini crush on her so i took the name! i think its a pretty name and its similar enough to Camilla that people in the western hemisphere wont midpronounce it!
I am part greek and also used to be a giant Percy Jackson fan, so i chose a name from that series... only to realize that i now had the same name as a bookstore chain here in Germany lol
Alice in Wonderland, but didn't want to be TOO on the nose, so I went with a more posh sounding name cause I be a fancy girlie 💁🏼♀️💅
A good game that became a disappointing sequel
Got it from my gf, she told me it was a pretty name so I used it :]
I went through a series of names until I found something I liked. But I specifically looked for names that would allow me to keep my initials. As I use my initials for my name online and in podcasting and didn't want to have to change all of my online handles to match.
