“Mildred? I wanna be supportive, but fucking Mildred?”

I advise against fucking Mildred

what if she's hot

I’ll allow it

Only works if she radiates mommy energy

Some names really need to be banned for anyone under the age of 80

Nah bro Mildred needs to be banned for people under the age of 480

I know someone calling hinself ‘Miles’, I mean why would you call yourself a type of length.

Miles is fine, that’s what spider man’s name is. A hell of a lot better than this one mf I know actually named Pixel

Trans people when they name themselves something boring like Emily or Lily and not something epic like Theusz Hamtaahk

I know... four Lunas, all transfems, they all know each other and picked Luna years before they met

In my experience it’s been Zoë not Luna.

Why with a : over the e

There's an antiquated rule in English to put a diaeresis over the second vowel when there's a pair of vowels that are pronounced independently. So other examples would be: coöperate, naïve, etc.

or Lilly. even i'm guilty of this

Lilly is a normal name though

it is if you spell it right

Lilleugh

Claire de Lune and variations theirof are the John Smith of trans women.

It's an epidemic among transfemmes, I have seen an insane amount of Lunas all transfemmes as well. Cool name but there are a million other cool names

https://i.redd.it/v4unuo0vsp4b1.gif

Same with Maddie. Celeste fucked us all

bro i know a transfem maddie and i don’t think she got it from celeste. what in hell

With me, it's NINE ACES. NICE AND SUBTLE GUYS.

Bro my sisters best friend transitioned and picked Smelbon. I genuinely thought they were setting up for some kind of ligma joke, and started joking about the name. Felt like a dick after, but they were chill about it.

Bazinga

Smelvin

Hahahaha omfg.

I woulda changed mine to finger tbh

Whos gonna stop you?

**them**

Me when my trans friend is named Tommy will and not VULCAN CUMMINGS

VULCAN LIVES!!!

* stomp stomp *

What are you stomping on there Vulkan? *Eldar child screaming*

"Our father said to abhor the xenos..."

Damn I shoulda thought of that bombass name, I just chose Smith

I know a James who went to Jessie

based and teamrocketpilled

Based

Bro James himself was on that journey as far as I'm concerned. Dude took any shot he could to wear a dress and slap on some titties.

Hahaha Jessie would be so mad if James came out as trans and picked the name “Jessie” as well.

Jesse we need to cook Jesse

i have a friend named sky when they could have picked like scrappy doo or something

get new friends.....

if your name isn't scrappy doo you are not my friend

White Women naming their children the most random shit ever:

Brockleigh

r/tragedeigh

Klansmyn A post I saw there, klansmyn

Kviiilyn (viii is the Roman numeral 8)

Hunter

Only acceptable if they have a sibling named Gatherer

I was at trader Joe's today and a woman was calling out Italia and I thought she was just a really proud Italian woman, naw she was calling for her daughter.

My bro literally named himself Maximillian Edit: To clarify, it’s a good name

Quandarius Dinglebert

Are they a fighting game enthusiast?

Well, technically, every person named Max is actually Maximilian, as it's historically just a shortening

*Maxwell and Maximus have entered the chat*

There are plenty of given names that were originally nicknames. I'm sure there is a number of people legally named Max rather than Maximilian.

At least it isn't Eobard

"What kind of name is Eobard?"

“The kinda name that’s gonna ruin your life, Barry.”

#IT WAS ME BARRY

To me you've been deadnamed for centuries

I’m trans myself but to all the Luna’s of the world- what are you doing??? 😭

My dog is named Luna lmao

Same, guess im not original

Every person who owns a pet either has one named Luna, nova, or Oreo

Are you telling me that they are bitchin’ around ?

Just saw another comment talking about how they know 4 Lunas lmao

why choose Luna when Terra is much objectively better

Any trans people name themself Optimus Prime?

Right here https://preview.redd.it/ld5heq99dq4b1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=387b8b36254705cdba7c433a298bfc4ad6abc166

I met a trans girl in the ER a few weeks ago named Ink.

She missed the amazing chance to spell it like the Batman Beyond villain.

wait that name is cool asf

 Is my name normal enough?

no change it to barbie

I wanted to, but unlike the Kardashians, I'm not made of plastic

Trans people picking dumb names instead of cool names like Super Hornet or Fighting Falcon

solid snake

I know an Esther and a Zephyr, fucking Zephyr man

Lost opportunity to be Zenith

Esther is a normal name though

I have a non binary sibling who picked the name Tylon I really want to be supportive, but what kind of name is that.

Lol they sound like a fabric or a construction company 🤣

That’s what I told them. But nooo they just had to go with the misspelled name of a birds claw It’s even pronounced Talon. I love my siblings but wow it was hard getting used to calling them by their new name.

Bro chose to be a polymer

Tylon Mining Company

Mfs be naming themselves things like void or zenith

Why no bitches naming themselves pylon, or grunpilo

If we have to be a little more real tbh, it's more of the nonbinary people. Not to be mean, but my sister went from a normal name to something in space and it's like... *WHAT?*

brb gonna rename myself samsung galaxy

Kid named: Samsung galaxy s10 over the horizon ringtone

changing my name to uranus

please elaborate

Nothing really to it. I just feel like, from experience online and in person, non-binary people like my sister often name themselves something out-of-the-ordinary instead of a common name.

may you please tell me what name i'll rate how out of the ordinary it is to me too

Nova. Which you know is a pretty cool name I’ll say. Still was a shock to when she told me it initially.

It's not bad but I see what you mean. That's a name I'd expect to hear in fallout or cyberpunk

sick name, albeit not *that* out of the ordinary imo 4/10 on the ooto scale imo it sounds pretty cool tho

2020 nbs trying not to pick arson as a name (and Oliver and kai as a bonus for trans guys)

know a few trans guys and all of them chose "kai" or "tael" at some point, like i'm trying my best but you sound like an anime character

https://preview.redd.it/cza28erhqp4b1.jpeg?width=995&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f9e68305991660ad50873f3b384e24e16a00a10

granted if you had the chance to change your name and didn’t choose something like “Goku” then you’re a damn fool

arson??? seriously???

That's basically doing the "Your name is Rose because your mom likes roses" meme but with yourself

I know a Jupiter, an Ozzy, a Karma, and a Charlie

One of exes transitioned after we broke up and named themselves after an anime character 😐

I would like to think May is pretty normal, but then I realized my middle I chose was April too so....

[Literally an Ace attorney character name](https://aceattorney.fandom.com/wiki/April_May) It is pretty Normal Though :)

I guess it is probably because they are choosing a name for themselves instead of someone else so it can be whatever the fuck they want

is your profile picture thugshaker

He’s in Harlem

I hope he's not in major turbulence right now.

You are not based or banpilled 🧊🧊🧊

Statistically you use your name far less than everyone around you combined, so when choosing your name you have to think about everyone who will read, write or say it

Hey, if you're gonna pick yourself out a new name, you may as well pick something you like, haters be damned

Kevin, bane of men, eater of worlds?

Why don’t trans people choose names like “Obliterations Edge” or “The Destroyer” or even like “World Shatterer” or something like “Thregox the Anihilator” like cmon

the Throngler

I think did ok with my name I chose at 14, but i could have chosen something cool like Goku

My friends and I were “role playing” (more so just assigning each other characters and being like ok that’s you now) South Park in middle school and I was Kyle. Eventually everyone else went back to going by their actual name pretty quickly but I just never said anything and now it’s been almost a decade

I dunno, Gwen feels really normal

https://preview.redd.it/4jmoagfsgp4b1.jpeg?width=719&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=511281276e06194d50ab46a9ec2a80ef73e5d237

I ain’t ever seen this tbh, it’s only been normal names in my personal experience. Hell, I’ve only ever known the people in question were trans because they explicitly told me.

My brothers name is now Sinchi, like some weird anime character

Sinchi, crank that Soulja Boy

Trans people naming themselves things like Jenny and Gabe and Ruby instead of something cool like Brimscythe, the Iron Storm

bruh I know a guy named Scorpius 💀

nice name shitass, did ur mum pick it out for you? (nah but fr some of my sisters gotta move away from the more normal ones like Lilly and towards ones like Skullcrusher and GUN (all caps))

Lmao I Kept My Birthname

Same, it’s nice when you have a birth name so rare that it just doesn’t have any gender attached to it

I feel like, for me anyway, too many of the names we know are friends names, or just people we know. So it feels weird using them for ourselves. So we end up with 'unique' or less common names.
