Hello! I am a teenage FTM guy, and I want to finally settle on my full name (I know my first name, but still figuring out the middle ones). There are two things I want help with:
-
Which sounds better: [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] or [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]? With those last two both being middle names.
-
Are either of these ‘good’ names? Are they too stereotypically “trans guy”?
I would also appreciate other suggestions for middle names with a similar ‘vibe’ if you have them.
I’m enamoured with Xavier Felix Theodore! Theodore being vintage yet currently high in the charts makes it feel pretty timeless and not stereotypically anything to me. Yet I’ll avoid your second question as I only recently learned that Kai is a popular trans name/I don’t feel equipped to answer that.
Xavier Oscar Theodore
Xavier Felix Owen
Xavier Felix Leander
Xavier Felix Evander
Xavier Felix Arthur
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is so snappy and cool, with botj sophistication and charm! [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] works too, just [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is more distinctive in the combo and flows just a little better to my ears!
Both are good names! [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] doesn’t sound stereotypically “trans guy” at all, and so the middles don’t either really. Maybe [name_m]Felix[/name_m] is chosen more frequently and there is the book, [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Ever[/name_u] After, but it’s a great name so 
(As a quick disclaimer, I’m cis so take that opinion as you will - i only really know about “stereotypical trans guy names” from some things trans friends have shared)
A few alternatives with similar vibes:
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_u]Leon[/name_u] [name_m]Matthias[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Isaac[/name_m] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_u]Max[/name_u] Julian/Xavier [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] [name_u]Julian[/name_u]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Boaz[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_u]Daniel[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Louis[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Xavier[/name_m] [name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is my favorite!
Hi, welcome to Nameberry!
Xavier Felix Oliver flows a bit better, I think — something about the repeating ee sounds in Felix & Theodore feels a bit off to me. But both are lovely and I don’t think you can go wrong!
Most of my trans friends have ended up picking more gender neutral names (think Kai, Sasha, etc.). I’ve seen Felix used a bit more than Theodore/Oliver/Xavier but I don’t think any of them feel stereotypically anything 
Hmm, maybe…
Xavier Felix Elliot
Xavier Felix Jude
Xavier Felix Finnian
Xavier Felix Owen
Xavier Henry Felix
Xavier Felix Hugo
Xavier Ezra Felix
Xavier Felix Julian
Xavier Felix Nathaniel
Good luck! 
Great choices, I think I’d go with the one that includes [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]

hey, fellow trans guy. i do better like the sound of xavier felix oliver, but they’re both solid names so i think it depends more on personal preference. i really dig the repeating x in xavier felix, i think it sounds quite cool.
i personally don’t think they’re stereotypical trans guy names in that the idea of “stereotypical ftm names” tend to be insular and constantly changing and also depend heavily on the circles you’re in so i wouldn’t pick or not pick a name based on that. they’re just simply nice names, and some other trans men have them for that reason but i wouldn’t argue it’s disproportionate. if you really love a name i don’t think it matters.
good luck finding a name!
