Looking for names people. General name thread. Nothing that makes you sound MTF, but maybe secretly F all along.
I'm having my dysphoric thoughts again, even though I'm happily married. I was hoping these would go away.
I've been thinking of names, and fasion recently.
>>5933127
Just steer clear of the names of media-trans women of the last decade or so, Alice, Madison, novel spellings of common names, and hippy names. Make sure it's a relatively common name for your age/region, and you're golden.
>>5933127
Peggy
Sri Lanka
>>5933127
Why do MtFs always pick the dumbest special snowflake names instead of just picking something that actual girls have as names?
>>5933127
I like Louise
>>5933127
Aphroditee
Glitterine
Fahbulousina
Princess Glory
Sweetsassylady ("Sass" for short!)
Leilanialolanie
Sparkle!! ("Sparkle" for short)
Is it acceptable to choose Alice if your given name was Aiden?
>>5934052
This. Look up the first 100 or so most popular girl names for your birth year for wherever you live
>>5934527
Yes, and it would be a big improvement. "Aiden" is the "well we couldn't think of a real name" name.
is my name okay?
>>5934527
I cant help but think of superjail's alice when I hear that name though. I could never recommend it for that reason.
>>5934542
My sister has that name but spelled differently
im biased toward liking it
>>5933127
Jewl
Opul
Safyre
Zoe
Bethaknee
Rubi
Kandi
Po'la
Jamie as a girl's name for a 25 year old trans woman, idk i feel i stand out. but even as an andro name i like it as it forces people to gender me on my looks and voice and mannerisms, not on 'oh shit its Isabelle/some other femme as shit name, obvious tranny, can't say 'he' that'd be rude'
>tfw my full name sounds like some old lady, but thankfully has a common short version that's not questionable for hispanic women.
>>5934567
Holy shit I hope that's a joke lol
Narcissa
Baggy
Eunuchia
If you've got supportive parents could just say what were you going to call me. Then just use that. You didn't get a say in this name and then it'll be more natural and not some artificial name you choose that you may change your mind on during your transition.
>>5934567
What's wrong with Zoe?
>>5934993
Why are trannies so obsessed with the name Zoe?
Why not something like Katie, Jennifer, Jessica, Heather, Sarah, Amber, Julie, and shit like that?
>>5935001
I had no idea transgender women are obsessed with the name Zoe
my dad is a flaming faggot who wanted to name me Summer if I were born a girl
I ended up going with Roxanna, and as snowflakey as it is, I like it
>>5933127
How about Cadence. It's quite musical so you can find that qt rocker boyfriend
>>5935034
reminds me of the fucking pony desu
>>5935036
Oh I didn't realise it's a FIM character
>>5933127
I like Freya.
Is Katherine/Katie a tranny name?
>>5935056
FREYA IS A NICE NAME
HOLD THE HEATHEN HAMMER HIGH
I went with Savannah, which, in my biased opinion, is a great name.
>>5934542
I'm secretly in love with a girl named Kayla so yes.
>>5935027
Summer is a nice name though
I mean, for an ordinary non-bepenis'd girl
>>5935097
that strikes me as one of those "trying to stand out" choices that should generally be avoided
but if it works for you and you like it then it's cool
>>5935082
no, it's just an ordinary girl name
>>5934587
>And my dad's GF said "That sounds like the name of an old lady, why not go with a name no one else has, like Samantha, or Roxanne, or Destiny."
>DESTINY
Fucking Christ
>>5935097
>>5935363
i know at least 3 cis girls named savannah or savanna soo i think it's fine
anyway, i agree that choosing something from the top 100 names in your birth year is a good guideline if you need help. i didn't even pick my name, my parents had it picked since before i was born but never had any daughters until i transitioned lol.
>>5933191
The key was to look at your predecessors, senpai. If you had seen them, you would have known marriage wasn't the answer.
>>5934542
I personally dislike the name Kayla.
My name is Dawson and I was born a trap basically, I think its a pretty good androgynous/secretly F all along name.
I dont do hrt or anything but when I wear earings and have my hair up and look pretty damn fem
>>5935001
>Katie, Jennifer, Jessica, Heather, Sarah, Amber, Julie
they are all old hon names tbqhon
>>5935090
WITH A BATTLE CRY
FOR THE PAGAN PAST I LIVE AND WILL DAY WILL DIE
-------
Today I learned that any name someone suggests is a tranny name.
>>5933127
Is Ariel or Arielle a normal name or is it too snowflake-ey?
>>5934896
Only after the orchi sempai.
>>5933127
Ryan, Charlie, Sam, Alex, ect.
>>5935492
Then half of the girls in my class were hons.
>>5933127
corn
>>5936191
Ariel is going to make it pretty obvious that you're trans or a stripper or both and wish you were a disney princess.
Caitlin :^)
>nobody but me in these threads ever says ashley
>tfw
>>5935492
Those are girl names. Hon names are shit like a 30 year old woman named katniss
>>5935433
That sounds like an FTM name desu
joelle?
Consuelo Francis R.?
(I am hispanic and indigenous looking)
>>5936616
I like that name.
does dillon work as a girl's name?
>>5936807
not at all. a certain kind of white girl could get away with dylan probably though
>>5936814
this is the part where you elaborate
>>5936819
Skinny brunettes with a Starbucks gold card and Uggs desu
>>5936792
Try Wendy or Lupita.
>>5937046
3/4 of that is me
>>5935492
The only one of those names I don't think I ever heard on a cis girl when I was attending school was Julie.
>>5936191
There was a girl in my 3rd and 4th grade classes (same girl) with that name. I have never heard it since. The reason she sticks out in my mind besides having been pretty and nice was her sister was like two years younger than her looked just like her.
>>5933127
Use months and seasons. Fir example: June Summers, April Winter.
I took the easy way out and go by alex. since I don't pass at all/ever it's not as awkward..
;-;
J-... Jess-..... Jessica? I- is that o-okay?
Well, I went with Callista.
It is a Greek name(I am half Greek) and while it isn't super popular in the US, I have met other girls named the same. Lots of people come in saying it is an uncommon name but they always thought it was really pretty and they thought of naming their daughters it. I work in retail so like everyone gets to see my name so it isn't like I ask people I just meet about it at all or ever really.
>>5933127
Shaniqua
Lafondisha
Nigger (pronounced Nih-gay-ur)
>>5934584
I know two Jamies, a 24 year old woman and a 60 year old man. I think it's a nice name regardless of gender.
>>5936631
Actually sometimes people say I look FTM too so yeah that makes sense
>>5937050
I usually Shorthand it to Connie, most haven't said a thing about it except those who knew before hand that just wanted me to do Fem version of old name.
>>5933127
Google the top female baby names for your birth year
>>5936792
Carla
name starts with c, thinking either clarissa or claire or maybe something different
My birth name is Jayden, and my MTF name is Jayden.
>>5937342
>tfw not cute enough for Jessica
I just kept my original name, Skylar (mtf)
But, I guess it's a stereotypical ftm name, so prolly gonna change it, or just kill myself tbqh.
>>5938508
normal people probably don't think nearly as much about particular famous transsexuals as you fear they do
and also there are plenty of far more famous cis women with names similar to that
if you're afraid of Jenner taint then move to England, where people are perhaps much more likely to associate you with Kate Middleton, who is cis and well liked and also frickin hot
>>5940157
(but if you fail badly at passing then yeah I guess somebody could make the Jenner association; but that's not so important because a strikingly non-passing tranny will turn ANY name, whichever one they happen to be using, into a "tranny name" within at least a small social radius about themselves)
>>5934542
>Boy name is Kaylan
>Like Ashley
>Everyone else says I should be called Kayla
I don't know what to do.
>>5933127
Is Serena too out there or should I go with Sabrina?
>>5933127
Big Dick Mortensen.
I like the name Cali or Marcelyn, but what is the most normal version of these names?
Maybe Callie is more normal?
Help please
>>5934527
I don't think anything is wrong with that name go for it if you want to be called that.
>>5944296
Do what YOU want to do, obviously. Ashley is a perfectly good name. Everyone else would probably also have said that you should have stayed a boy.
>>5934584
I like Jamie as a girl's name.. Never even knew it was used as a guys name til I saw GoT...
I also follow the same philosophy for my preferred name (Avery), though growing up I thought it was a girl's name... I found out a year ago that most well known people with that name are a guys, only a couple of women that I know of... Though the youngest of the guys are over twenty years older than me and most are forty years...
I know a cis girl called Christabel. I think it's such a pretty name but do you think it sounds like crusty balls? She says so
>>5945854
Cali is fucking tight, just call yourself that. It doesn't need to be "normal"
I can't even describe the profound sense of relief I'm experiencing over not having to choose my own name. I was so close to getting a stupid name because I'm retarded.
Seriously, you should only be deciding your own name as a last resort.
Cassidy?
>>5945948
Who else would choose it ? Your parents?
>>5946090
The ultimate is to ask your parents if they knew what they would call if you were born female.
I didn't have that privilege so I got help finding a name that sounded similar to my original name.
A young person is just going to name themselves the same way they name their videogame characters.
>>5933127
Austin
>>5945854
I knew a Callie from a normal family. Marcelyn sounds snowflakey.
>>5946107
This. Except my mom had some really terrible name ideas. Two of them sounded like strippers from Texas.
>>5944296
Use one of them as your middle name.
>>5937897
That's what I did. Most of them were already taken by girls I knew, or relatives, or weren't the right ethnicity. Julia, Jill, Alexandra, and Holly are on my short list.
Does anyone else feel weird about picking an obviously feminine name rather than an androgynous or more masculine sounding female name?
>>5945854
I'd go more Marceline than Marcelyn.
Aiden
Jaiden
Kaiden
Brayden
Hayden
Is Valerie honnish, or am I being paranoid?
>>5933127
Bonaventure and Adelaide are my favorites. Bonaventure is perfect for a MtF imo
Would Bryn sound too much like a "tranny name"? I've only ever seen cis girls with that name, but it is an uncommon one with a weird spelling
What womyn name do you associate with this face
>>5934584
>>5937619
>>5945872
I went James to Jamie but I'm still a little ambivalent on it. I'm gearing up to get my name changed and I still kind of like Lauren, which is what my mom said she would have named me if I was AFAB. I actually hadn't thought about it in a while but the idea of Lauren James Lastname cross my mind the other day and I like how it sounds for some reason.
If I were trans, I'd probably go by Sierra since that was the name my parents would have given me if I were a girl.
>>5950653
Helen
>>5950653
Rudolph
>>5950653
sneaky
If your parents are all for your transition, ask them to rename you.
After all, that's how it would have worked if you were born a female. It'll probably sound more natural and less trans, too.
>>5935001
NO more KATIE
no caitlin
no.
If you're born 87-90 you know that there were at least 10 of them in your high school graduating class. Too generic. You always want to be firstname last initial? stop.
>>5951193
To be fair, Bruce Jenner took a totally age inappropriate name.
There's still Katherine, or Kathleen. Generic is the whole point.
>>5935056
My friend's dog's name is Freya
>>5951174
My parents told me plenty of times that if I was born a girl they didn't have a name lined up for me.
RIP. I'll probably go with Katie, Emily, Sarah, or Amber. Dunno.
>>5933127
what does everyone think of Peyton? mtf
I'm thinking Annabel.
Or Margeaux (I know the spelling is ultra Tumblr speshul snuflake bullshit, but I like it, dammit).
I also like the name Soledad, but I'm not a latina.
>>5950665
Anyone have an opinion on this? Pls respond
Mtf Old name Luke, New name Liv. (like Liv Tyler, not totally inspired by her though.)
Sometimes I think I picked a dumb name. But I like 'L' names and I also think in this dot com era were in short names have their pros! You don't get shorter than 3 letters!
Another con is people think it is "Live" sometimes and there are all sorts of bad puns haha. Or they think it is short for Olivia.
What do you think?
>>5952360
Go with Lauren.
>>5945868
>>5945874
Thanks for the input, I know it should be down to me but I can't even make up my mind ¬.¬
It's good to hear that Ashley isn't a stupid Hon name though. I was worried that it was too different and "special" but IDK.
Also, I like it because it's kinda unisex, so if I'm in boy mode or with people that I don't want to know/just don't know well enough to tell, it's not so much an issue.
It can also be shortened to Ash which sounds cool (and it's a fitting nickname for a stoner like myself)
>>5947092
That's actually not a bad Idea, I hadn't even thought about middle names yet. I got both my middle names from both my granddads, so I should probs change them lol
> tfw your gt sweat smells like vag.
Feels great 'yo. W-will my SRS vag also smell like that?
>>5952455
Side note, my parent's never thought of any girl names for me because they thought right from the start that I was going to be a boy, Even though they thought of girl names for my older brother :(
Also,
>>5945868
Everyone that I have told so far (probs like 30-40 people by now desu) every single one of them have been really supportive and have basically said "do what ever makes you happy, We'll be here for you, and we won't judge" Which makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside :3
>>5952472
Not really, they tend to smell like provolone cheese.
>>5952454
What about the middle name? Another option is Lauren Marie Lastname.
Let 4chinz decide desu
>>5934542
Kayla pls go
>>5954496
I prefer Lauren James. It sounds pretty nice.
>>5954496
Don't use James as a middle name unless you are very passable.
>>5933127
any name sounds fine desu as long as you don't think a stripper would have it. don't go with diamond or cassie. DESU you should be able to have any name you want and not have to worry about it. if you're MTF, you're a woman and should be able to have any name any woman would
Is Crystal okay?
Billie ?
How does Vanessa sound!
>>5947546
I use this one too. I know a middle aged woman named Valerie, but that's it. I think I've cemented that name with my friends by now, so I'd look picky if I changed it now. I don't really regret it cause I like the name, but it'd be nice to hear from more people if this sounds like a tranny snowflake name. I honestly didn't really hear people say it sounded like an old woman's name until well after I started using it.
>>5958189
Valerie is hunnish as fuck. Seriously, ladies, if you want to pick a name that doesn't sound remotely retarded look up the most used baby names from year you were born and pick a name from the top ten. No one will ever fucking question.
Sincerely,
A slightly fem looking FTM who still never gets misgendered because my name isn't Seth Skylar Darius McSnowflake.
>>5934052
tfw been Kaitlyn for 10+ years. Then Bruce Jenner decides to be a faggot, and of all the names he chooses... REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>5958189
my friend's mom is named valerie
honestly i think the whole name thing is kinda dumb, if you pass you're gunna pass with any name you choose, cis people aren't that autisticly hyper-aware of tranny name tropes like people here are as long as you're not literally Marshmallow Pussalicious Vaneshqua
>>5935024
The name Zoe for rl trans women and ginger hair for webcomic trans women have become a stereotype. I blame Venus Envy for starting it
Andrea
what do you think?
>>5959200
Andrea means manly one though. I don't understand why this name is female these days, because it's meaning really isn't.
But hey you can critisize my stupid fucking name that I asked the spirit world for.
"Hey, great owl spirit, what tranny name should I have?" and it told me Hazel. Now all these fucking people say "That's my grandma's name"
I mean it fits me, I'm a dainty wispy magick thing with nuts, but who knows if I'll like it five years from now, but it's my name now, as far as anybody else is concerned.
Does anybody else ask the spirit world for advice on names? I've asked them for help naming literally every pet I've ever had.
>>5959500
>ask the spirit world for advice on names
what is that?
>>5950667
Valerie, Vanessa, Victoria, Vivian, and Violet are all pretty names.
All sound like cis girl names too if you ask me.
>>5959500
Momma asked the spirit world for help in naming me. Jokes on the spirits I hate that name.
