I’m transgender (Female to Male) and I’ve had a tough time choosing names that fit with my chosen middle name, [name_m]Christian[/name_m], and my last name, Wilks. My parents said that if I were born male, they’d call me [name_m]Andrew[/name_m], but I’m not too sure about that name. I’ve considered the following:
- [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]/[name_u]Elias[/name_u]
- [name_u]Owen[/name_u]/[name_m]Eoin[/name_m]
- [name_m]Liam[/name_m]
- [name_u]Emmett[/name_u]
- [name_m]Wyatt[/name_m]
If you have any idea of which name sounds best, or if there are any other names you could suggest, I’d greatly appreciate it!
My personal favorite is [name_u]Emmett[/name_u]!
I would advice against using [name_m]Eoin[/name_m] (since many people aren’t familiar with this spelling they might not realize it’s a boy’s name when they see it written down), [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] (I keep hearing [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] when someone says it) and [name_u]Owen[/name_u] ([name_u]Owen[/name_u] [name_m]Christian[/name_m] doesn’t have the best flow)

Some ideas:
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u]
[name_u]Ellis[/name_u]
[name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Beckett[/name_m]
[name_m]Bennett[/name_m]
[name_m]Rhett[/name_m]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_m]Isaac[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Grant[/name_m]
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m]
[name_m]Luke[/name_m]
I think these types of questions are very hard to answer without knowing the person. I would find a way to try these names on with people who don’t know you. The Starbucks test is a classic example. Perhaps you could ask your parents or friends to call you by different names for a time and see which feels most like you?
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Christian[/name_m] [name_m]Wilkes[/name_m] is just gorgeous, that gets my vote!
I like [name_u]Owen[/name_u], [name_m]Liam[/name_m], or [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]. Best of luck choosing <3
