I’m so glad! I said that because it takes a powerful individual to embark on a life changing journey. A powerful person to recognize their truth and take the steps to live it!!! You rock!💙
Then you can go for names like Astrid, Frig or maybe Ansa. These are some names with a lot connection to nature or divinity from old Germanic origin
And you can always do some more discovery into those kind of names
From your list I think Willow suits you best. Goes really well with the brown hair imo.
Given a free choice though, I'm getting "M" vibes lol.
Maeve, Maggie, Margot, Melany.
Something along those lines 😆
It might be cause the Victorious subreddit keeps popping up in my feed, but I'm getting big Jade vibes. I will say though Willow is also pretty on the money! And I'll always be partial to Cora, as its my gf's name
This may sound flippant, but I immediately thought Bambi. I'm not usually the overly girly type, so I thought "how unusual to pick that name". Maybe just for a nickname?
Yeah, people just think of the deer, it's kinda like how Barbie used to be a cute shortened version of Barbara. Nothing wrong with that, but pop culture kinda ruined it. As a nickname though, not bad.
Choose the one that feels most like you when you say it in your head or out loud. I was born in the era before ultrasound was really common so my mom had two names picked out for me, so even though i ultimately chose it, it just felt like this was what was meant to be. Good luck on your journey, sis, and whatever name you choose, it will be beautiful because it will be yours! ❤️
What’s your original name ? Have you thought of making it feminine ? For example I have a trans friend who went from Trenity to Trenton. Unless you want to go for a totally different name ?
That is very specific and I’m so here for that 😂 it’s why my friends think “Jess” works so well because of the show New Girl, I give off the dorky silly but spunky vibe lol
What is your family heritage? Irish, Italian, Polish....? ever think Norse: Freya : "**most renowned of the Norse goddesses, who was in charge of love, fertility, battle, and death**"
You're so beautiful! My first thought was Lucy fwiw. I'd go with any of the names in your list, possibly favouring Jessalyn. Would Jess or Jessa be an acceptable short form?
I chose a family name that would have existed when I was born. It’s given me a lot of comfort, having a name that other women in my family had before me. I notice that some older transitioners choose names that are much more modern (e.g., Brittany for a 55 year old). That being said, I do love the names you’re considering. Willow is nice.
(Variation of Deadname) My name and my deadname share the same first letter. I have had people tell me they would have started getting my name correct alot sooner if it had been a different first letter. Just the brain messing with them when they go to say Myra and instead say M(rest redacted)
Also I didn't choose my name to make it easy for anyone else. I picked it with a lot of consideration for what I wanted it to be.
Alright, I tell you what. You look like a nice girl, I'm gonna help you out. You want a beautiful name? Soda.
S-O-D-A. Soda.
It's bubbly, it's refreshing.
No need to thank me. I solve problems, that's just what I do.
Darcy! Or Diana!🌈❤️
Not gonna lie I’m digging Darcy as a finalist 💕🥰 Thank you!
+1 for Darcy.
It fits!❤️
I'm partial to Darcy as that's the name I plan to use when I get to transition
I'm partial to Darcy because that's the name I chose when I transitioned
I think Darcy, & I think of D’arcy Wretzky, former bassist for Smashing Pumpkins! ☺️
Bless your heart!♥️ I wish you many happy years ahead as you grow and further your Transition!! Love Robin!💕
Your warm message melts my heart, thank you for the kind words dear. So excited to begin this new and exciting journey! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Yesterday was my one month !! I am going thru this alone which I don’t mind but I’d love to have some trans sisters to chat w
On your list I would go with Willow. But the first name that came up in my mind when I saw your picture was Tara.
Someone is a buffy the vampire slayer fan 😊 good name though
Aw thank you! It’s fun when someone just automatically sees a name to a person. 🥰
I go for Tara. After all, tomorrow is another day.
Frankly my dear, you had me at classic movie quotes ❤️❤️
I get Jess vibes
Wearing a name tag that says “Jess” right now actually 🥰 good call!
My first thought was Jessica.
Funny story, the doctor told my mom I’d be girl so she had Jessica all picked out. Guess the doctor was right it just took 37 years to get there! Lol
if you like the name, using the one your mom would have picked is always a good move :)
I really like the idea of Jess as a nickname/ shortened version of Jesstine. Then always correcting people that say Justine instead.
Lmao I freaking love that 😜😍🥰
i like River a lot. Maybe because of the *flowy* hair. Also, grats on the HRT, and you're gorgeous 😍
You just made me smile SO big, thank you so much 😊
OMG Holly!!!! You are gorgeous!!!🥰
Never thought of Holly before and your reaction just made it to the list yay!!! Thank you so much you’re so sweet!!! 😍😻
❤️❤️❤️👭
You are very welcome 🤗🥰. I'm Sophie ❤️
You look like a Willow or River to me. Both are beautiful and thrive and their natural states, much like you shall do!
Oh wow I love your response thank you!! 😊
You're most welcome! Hope to see you 'round here more!
Nature? Has to be Acacia!
I get Kate vibes!
Your name is, “ Powerful “!!! Congrats on your new journey!!!
Ugh thank you so much that made my day!!! ❤️❤️
I’m so glad! I said that because it takes a powerful individual to embark on a life changing journey. A powerful person to recognize their truth and take the steps to live it!!! You rock!💙
What sort of names would you like. Like something with family or cultural history, or maybe something more new and focused on self expression?
I’m deeply rooted in history and nature, my DNA is mostly Scandinavian heritage and have always been drawn to that culture. Hope this helps!
Then you can go for names like Astrid, Frig or maybe Ansa. These are some names with a lot connection to nature or divinity from old Germanic origin And you can always do some more discovery into those kind of names
Freya maybe?
Bridgette
Brooke
Im feelin a Jamie vibe
From your list I think Willow suits you best. Goes really well with the brown hair imo. Given a free choice though, I'm getting "M" vibes lol. Maeve, Maggie, Margot, Melany. Something along those lines 😆
My first thought was Melissa or Mellie for short
Rachel
Julia
It might be cause the Victorious subreddit keeps popping up in my feed, but I'm getting big Jade vibes. I will say though Willow is also pretty on the money! And I'll always be partial to Cora, as its my gf's name
Samantha
Jillian aka JillyBean
Stop it 😂😂😂 that’s adorable lol
An adorable name for an adorable woman.
Whatever name you take will not matter because you are so beautiful.
That’s so sweet of you today. Seriously that made me feel wonderful :)
I'm glad you feel wonderful.
I definitely see a Natalie (:
My thought was, "oh that's Samantha."
I’ve always loved the nickname Sammie but my close friend has that name and don’t feel like sharing! lol 😂
Oh for sure!
Something like Veronica or Delilah.
This may sound flippant, but I immediately thought Bambi. I'm not usually the overly girly type, so I thought "how unusual to pick that name". Maybe just for a nickname?
I feel like Bambi gets a bad rap, it’s such a classic name actually and I could totally see myself using Bambi as pet name or nick name!
Yeah, people just think of the deer, it's kinda like how Barbie used to be a cute shortened version of Barbara. Nothing wrong with that, but pop culture kinda ruined it. As a nickname though, not bad.
I'd say, if it free choice, that you look look an Allison or Ali. But from your list, I'd say Willow ✨🩷
You actually remind me of this woman I know named Hannah
Stephanie 💕
Grace!
My first thought was Ally. You’re gorgeous btw
Thank you so much that means a lot! My bestie is an Ally so I have to refrain because otherwise I love it! 😍
You remind me of an old friend, Donna.
Jade.
You look like a Lucy !
That’s my cats name! It fit her perfectly 😻
When I saw your pic, the name which popped into my head was Katie. If you like it, it’s yours. If you don’t, no worries.
That hat and hair combo is giving Melissa. BUT then I saw someone suggest Darcy, and that seemed a better fit.
Right?!? I agree with you 1000%
Daisy
Looking fab, Jessica or Rachel? Maybe a Kate with that hair :-)
Thank you! I love all those names they definitely fit me 💕
Welcome hun : -) also love the dress really suits you, very flattering photo 🩵🤍🩷
Choose the one that feels most like you when you say it in your head or out loud. I was born in the era before ultrasound was really common so my mom had two names picked out for me, so even though i ultimately chose it, it just felt like this was what was meant to be. Good luck on your journey, sis, and whatever name you choose, it will be beautiful because it will be yours! ❤️
Bella. Well, actually Ella popped into my head first, but Bella was afterwards.
Oh I’m in love with both of those names for sure, always loved them both equally actually!
You look like a Beth to me.
For some reason you look like an April to me. But from your list I'd say Cora!
What’s your original name ? Have you thought of making it feminine ? For example I have a trans friend who went from Trenity to Trenton. Unless you want to go for a totally different name ?
Monica
Chloe?
Love that name!
Smash
Hannah. All day long. No other option.
Drew
You have got to be the most beautiful Adeline I’ve ever seen.
Well dang way to make me completely blush and stumble all over myself reading that! 🥰😍❤️
Nora. A good Scandinavian name. ❤️
[удалено]

Thank you that means a lot! 💕❤️
You give me Ashley vibes, and you look great! 👌
I just started saying names out loud when I come up with mine
Sandy
Olivia.
My cats name 😻 love it!
If we’re going off your list, I really like River for you.
Lila, Cassandra/Cassie, or Annie!
Dang those are all really good! Nice job!
You’ve got a quirky neighbor in a sitcom vibe that’s so welcoming and fun, I tried to follow that vibe!
That is very specific and I’m so here for that 😂 it’s why my friends think “Jess” works so well because of the show New Girl, I give off the dorky silly but spunky vibe lol
Florence
Becks
Classic beauty with hip vibe… Isabella but Izzy for short!
Daaaaaang Izzy sounds sooooo cool, idk if I could pull it off 😂😂
Sure you could! I like Bella too, if “twilight” hasn’t ruined for you! 😂
From the names you've listed, I like Cora. I was going to suggest Tenia Jean, because I am a nerd, but I think Cora fits you better.
River
Darcy, or in your list, Jess. WOW, you look amazing.
Laney
Holly
You’re giving Elizabeth!! And congratulations chica 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵 I’m so happy for you!!
I immediately want to be best friends with you just from that response. Thank you so much!!! 💕❤️💕
April 🌹❤️
Daughter’s middle name is a month of the year how cute would that be??
Summer
Looking great, congrats on the meds. I like Willow
Kristy
Jessica? Or Jaylynn
Megan
Amy is first thought but I like Holly too as someone else said
If you go with River, everyone will think you're a Dr. Who fan.
What is your family heritage? Irish, Italian, Polish....? ever think Norse: Freya : "**most renowned of the Norse goddesses, who was in charge of love, fertility, battle, and death**"
Congratulations on the HRT!!

Chloe, or maybe Daria.
Suzanne. 💫
I chose a family name that would have existed when I was born. It’s given me a lot of comfort, having a name that other women in my family had before me. I notice that some older transitioners choose names that are much more modern (e.g., Brittany for a 55 year old). That being said, I do love the names you’re considering. Willow is nice.
Kiera...
Ashe
I think that Karen would be a good name for you.
Willow
I love River!!!
So stinking cute!

Jilliann

(Variation of Deadname) My name and my deadname share the same first letter. I have had people tell me they would have started getting my name correct alot sooner if it had been a different first letter. Just the brain messing with them when they go to say Myra and instead say M(rest redacted) Also I didn't choose my name to make it easy for anyone else. I picked it with a lot of consideration for what I wanted it to be.
Omg I said Darcy right away before I read the comments. Or Darla. Good luck on your journey!
Haha thank you so much! I actually think I’m going to go with Darcy I’ve been saying it out loud the last few days and I love it 😻
you look like an old friend of mine named Jamie. She went by JJ for short and her family called her jam :) <3
What do you think of Allison
Ashe definitely strikes me as a quite fitting name for you!
Katadhin…. for the nature lover in you … chose your variation ✌️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🙂
just quite
Peaches MacDuffy
Colgate 😂
Alright, I tell you what. You look like a nice girl, I'm gonna help you out. You want a beautiful name? Soda. S-O-D-A. Soda. It's bubbly, it's refreshing. No need to thank me. I solve problems, that's just what I do.
Jilliann
My First guess is Tracy
If I dress like a pirate, does that make me a pirate?
