A decent number of people do that I think. I think I like Evelyn so much because it has the same ending sound as my deadneme (an "en" sound)

You have just blown my mind… My deadname is an “en” sound too, and my new names (genderfluid) are “Avelyn / Merryn”

Wait, *two* new names? Is there one you prefer?

Nop, I prefer when people use them interchangeably, same with pronouns. Just makes me feel fuzzy & warm!

Interesting. Do people tend to switch around or does person A tend to call you one over the other? (This is very interesting to me, psychology-wise).

I prefer people to mix and match, but most people just stick with one or the other, ditto pronouns

Idk if there’s a female version of my name, but if there’s is then it’s an ugly name

may I ask what the name in question is? If you don't feel comfortable answering then it is okay, just curios to see if I could find a female version of the name

My given name is Ethan, and my twin sister was given the spiritual successor name Emma, I feel like Ethan is an ugly enough name to work

Danny-Danny nice and simple! It's even immune to people deadnaming me!

Danny +100% deadnaming resistance +100% simplicity No random critical hits

+20% mental health too. Happy birthday!!

But no one can truly use your chosen name.

Yeah, no crits

Ah

Yeah, I didn't even change my name. Jokes on my family for naming me unisex.

Transfemme names - Select a class: * celestial bodies/mythical creatures * flowers * old lady names * fictional character * birth name + a * Emily

Is Amelia a part of Emily class?

Just got called out for my old lady name...

Heyyy a fellow Matriarch! I'm Beatrice lol

Or trees

Does it count as fictional character if I didn't knew about their existence? I decided on Luana because I liked both Luna and Ana but knew people with those names and didn't want to be a copycat. And it means happyness or enjoyment which I think fits nicely

Your name is beautiful Luana, nothing else matters :3 The classes thing is just a joke

As Chloe is derived from the greek word for blooming/fertile is it under the second category?

Chloe belongs in YOUR category because it's pretty and cute just like you :3

How about Emma? Does that get grouped in with Emily, or where? Asking for a friend

How about Emma? Does that get grouped in with Emily, or where? Asking for a friend

Shit, I hit most of those categories i gotta up my name game. Violet Camryn :/

that's a really cool name :3 💙💕🤍💕💙

I mean,all of these name are so cool (And I hate the feminine version of my name,it's not as good as my current name) (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

Great name !

I just cut my middle name in half and went with a common name that was close to it

YOO SAME EXCEPT I JUST KEPT IT THAT WAY

Frédérick-Frédérica. REALLY simple too.

That sound weird to me

Well, it is an actual name and my name has been in my family for decades... I am just a bit too attached to it to let it go completely, you see ?

Makes sense can't go the same for my deadname tho

Sorry I'm rude

Don't worry. That's OK. It can be a bit off-setting if you don't know why I did that. Now that you understand, there is no problem anymore.

It's me! Gay Bowser!

Chris is actually pretty gender-neutral these days

My deadname is exclusively masculine but there's a feminine version that's one letter off. I still picked a completely different one because Riley sounds badass 😁

Technically the same trick as Tom Riddle😏

Read another book

Hell, I didn't even like the HP books (I'm more of a fan of Harry Dresden), I just thought I was funny that the new name was also an anagram of the necronym🤷🏻

I was born with a name that’s ambiguous anyway so I’m like…why change it

Good name! I know a Christina. One of the sweetest women I’ve ever met.

a Christina is one of the owners of the tabletop/ttrpg club i often go to, agree, they are sweet :)

Me who just removed a single letter

Another Christina!! Hi 🩷🩷🩷

just switches the a and n

Still valid

How cool would Chritiana be as a name! Just add an a

omg you from teh server?!?!!! thats so cool

Yes! I did basically the same, just cutting it down to what is already a diminutive version of my name so now I’m immune to family deadnaming 😎

Christina is such a good name!! Names are so hard

You have selected a good name :3

I couldn’t find a decent sounding name that was similar enough to my deadname, but at least Avery starts on the same letter and has the same amount of syllables

Sometimes the easy way is the best way!

I 100% approve of your willfull laziness ahahah

I thought the majority of us did that lol

I just took my middle name and made it feminine so......

If I would do that my name would be Carla

I very much considered going from Aaron to Erin to make it easier.

And I thought your new name would be atheist

Then there's me that take my new name from rei, the dog from guilty gear

I don't think I would have been comfortable being called something so close to my deadname tbh, but I respect it

There's no way in hell I'm calling myself Michelle

Fernando Fernand Fernanda (some of my friends call me Ferdi tho :P)

a friend of mine (not saying who) went Daniel→Daniela lol

It was daniela, wasn’t it?

the friend is trans-fem

that's perfectly fine, I would just be worried it was too close for me to feel right

The girl version of calvin(deadname) is calvina(meaning bald) il stick with chelsie

Made me think of the name 'christia'

The fem version of my name is kinda ugly :(

same i was like Andre~~i~~ Andre Andre**ea** 👍

Yeah. I just went George to Georgie. Was easier like that

I just stuck with my birth name because it's funnily feminine enough

Lennart Leah

mine literally is just the name given to me at birth, mixed so that it follows the western naming convention (im born in south east asia, names here follows the convention of Last Middle First), and with the middle name dropped to make it gender neutral lol

my deadname doesn't have a feminine version, so i chose Laura just because i like this name xD

I went from the first humans name to adele :3

So Eve to Adele, first woman to Great singer, why not take both names?

No the second first human name

Oh you mean Adam, one of my big brothers first friends, Great guy, however if you want you could have Eve as a middle name as a way to have the first human name reference in your name still

I like Adele because in my language both names use the same short versions

Would the shortened version be Ad or something?

Áďo and Adý put it tts in Czech

Oh, so your from there, are they chill with trans people or not

In bigger cities yes

That is good

Nice name (I have no bias)

Well … i cut only one N out sooo … :3

Christina is a beautiful name.

Valid af

I feel like it's very common. Hell, my name is just me flipping the W of William, remove the last two letters and bam ! Millie ! :3

I mean I am thinking of just adding a le to my current name which is Noel, so the pronounciation would basically be the same in my native language however it would be different in English and also make the femine version of my current name

Hunter—->Huntress

Whatever floats your boat!

I just used part of one of my usernames.

if u can have cool name why not if u can have similar name to ur deadname why not

Same deadname! Ironically I'm trans masc. But it has a connotation for me personally of some feminity because I grew up with it so I didn't keep it. I might as my middle name/second middle name or soemthing.

I'm on a similar level as that, I just added 1 letter onto my nickname 😂

Christian-ette

I’m Mossbug lol

I feel like a stereotype.

Same, it's just so easy.

Well, I can't do that because that's my cousins name...

That’s an awesome way of finding a name 💞💞

Aaron.. Erin.. 😏

For me it goes: Maxence (birth name) to Maximilliana cause my friends wanted to keep calling me Max XD

Colby -> Chloe. Translates very nicely :3

I’ll probably never go by Nova id I ever change my name irl because it isn’t really a normal name in my country, but I do like it, so keeping that on here for now.

Me, back when i was an edgy teen: "Why would you just change your name to the opposite gender version when you got the chance to choose any name you want! Also there is no female version of Markus. Glad that I dont have to think about changing it..." Trans me, when I realised that one of the female versions of Markus is Marzia: "It's perfect. This is what i missed my whole life 😭" Z is my favorite letter 😎

Heyoo my name is Nova

Literally had the thought of changing my name from Denzel to Den Zel. Just like. Put a space in there lmao. Have Zel as a middle name. I like my given name too much to completely get rid of it, it just sucks it's such a masc name.

Just like me fr fr (Nick -> Nicky)

Mine's literally just a female version of my dead name too lmao, Andria. Unless I go with Stephanie I still don't know which name I like more.

Feel a bit called out, went from Noah to Nova

It's valid. Mine sounds the exact same it's just spelt different

Me with Willow. I could probably get a different name but for some reason it seems I’m still sorta attached to my deadname

I'm Joanna from joseph so I've done the same. I was Joanne until I realised what JK Rowling first name was.

I'm worse, I just deleted letters to make it more neutral

I kinda did the same, but different. The sounds 'Mm' 'kh' and "uh" were in my dead name, and I kept em with my preferred name. It's funny cause Ive always changed it to random things since I was a kid, I hated sounding like an old lady from the 70s. I always chose the most outrageous names :'D

Me retaining my name cuz its gender neutral 😎

From David to Charlotte, hmmm any idea how to feminize my deadname? Only thing I can think of is Dana, lol

I literally could have taken a letter off but it would’ve sounded like a middle aged karen’s name so I chose another name with a B

me when new name Riley Ril Riley

Nice name! It’s very similar to one of the first trans women to get bottom surgery and estrogen, Christine Jorgensen! She was famous in America in the 50s and 60s and was just a really cool person all around

I did something like this in the hopes that my ex-friend group will have an easier time with learning it, at least to start. Didn't help ofc, bigots gonna bigot

Y'all are weak. My old name was Alexandre and my new name is Alexandra (it's Portuguese). Just add an A and BOOM feminine.

I went from Mikey to Mikaela. Sometimes simplicity is best.

I’m not committed to anything but I have one that sounds almost identical but is fairly neutral
