Hey y’all! I’m a trans guy in the process of trying to find a new name. I went through the top 1000 from the year I was born, but didn’t find any name that really stuck out, so now I’m trying to narrow down the ones I was okay with.
In (for the most part) the order they appear on the list I liked:
Top 100:
[name_u]Evan[/name_u]
[name_m]Adrian[/name_m] (not on the list, but I’m a classics major so maybe [name_m]Hadrian[/name_m] would be cool instead?)
101-200:
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] (but this is so popular for little boys right now I think, I just like the nickname [name_m]Huck[/name_m])
[name_m]Edgar[/name_m]
[name_m]Ruben[/name_m]
[name_u]Bailey[/name_u] (it was #85 for girls and #200 for guys. I don’t like it for girls but I really like it for guys and I’m trying to figure out if I can pull it off and how my family would react to me changing my unisex-leaning-feminine name to a different unisex-leaning-feminine name)
201-500:
[name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Donovan[/name_m]
[name_m]Ross[/name_m]
[name_m]Quentin[/name_m]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]
[name_m]Nathanael[/name_m]
[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] (but this is kind of popular for guys in the trans community)
501-1000:
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] (I actually knew two Dorians growing up, I just fought all the time with both of them)
[name_m]Holden[/name_m] (but I know my sister would never be convinced it’s not because of Caulfield)
[name_u]Jameson[/name_u] (I like that it’s like [name_u]James[/name_u], which I do kind of like, but more interesting. But too alcohol-y?)
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_m]Jacoby[/name_m] (don’t like [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], do like [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m])
[name_u]Blaise[/name_u] (I don’t like the bl sound, but I like the meaning cause I do have a slight lisp)
You mention your current name is unisex, do you mind sharing what it is? Are you opposed to keeping it – I understand wanting a fresh start though. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought.
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] is a love of mine simply because of The Picture of [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_m]Holden[/name_m] are both nice.
You mention you like the nickname [name_m]Huck[/name_m]. What about just [name_m]Huck[/name_m]? It was on our list if this baby was a boy (it’s not) but I love it as a stand alone name!
I don’t like [name_u]Bailey[/name_u] personally. I hear it on far too many girls in my region.
I also really like [name_u]Jameson[/name_u].
My favorites are: [name_u]Dorian[/name_u], [name_m]Huck[/name_m], and [name_u]Jameson[/name_u].
My favourites are: [name_u]Evan[/name_u], [name_m]Ruben[/name_m], [name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m], [name_m]Nathanael[/name_m], [name_u]Dorian[/name_u] and [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m]. If I had the choice I’d be a [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m], so cool
Of all of your names, I like [name_m]Hadrian[/name_m] & [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m] (when said juh-COH-bee) best, however, I feel like this is such a personal decision, and it’s hard for anyone else to comment on such a thing. I think that all of the names on your list are good, strong names, but that you just need to keep looking at names, trying a few on for size until something just fits. Good luck m’dear!
I mean, I’m pretty partial to [name_u]Blaise[/name_u]
I love that it was on your list! We Blaises get overlooked so often!
I do also like [name_u]Bailey[/name_u] quite a bit, although I also am wondering what your name is right now and how strongly you feel you need to change it.
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u], [name_m]Huck[/name_m], [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] and [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m] are my favorites.
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] is what I thought before I read it.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] (and love [name_m]Wes[/name_m]), [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] and [name_u]Dorian[/name_u]! I think you should pick the one YOU love the most in honor of you and your brave choice to be true to yourself!
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] (but this is so popular for little boys right now I think, I just like the nickname [name_m]Huck[/name_m]): don’t you like the name? [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t use it.
[name_u]Dorian[/name_u] (I actually knew two Dorians growing up, I just fought all the time with both of them): bad memories? don’t use it.
[name_u]Jameson[/name_u] (I like that it’s like [name_u]James[/name_u], which I do kind of like, but more interesting. But too alcohol-y?): If you love it, use it. It isn’t too alcohol-y.
[name_m]Jacoby[/name_m] (don’t like [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], do like [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m]): beautiful name with great nicknames. [name_m]Jac[/name_m], [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_m]Coby[/name_m].
[name_u]Blaise[/name_u] (I don’t like the bl sound, but I like the meaning cause I do have a slight lisp): don’t use a name because of its meaning, but because you like how it sounds and it represents you.
MY FAVORITES:
1- [name_m]Jacoby[/name_m]
2- [name_u]Blaise[/name_u]
3- [name_m]Ross[/name_m]
4- [name_m]Adrian[/name_m]
