[name_f]Do[/name_f] you know that stereotype “mascs be having the most ladylike names”… this is exactly the case.
[name_f]My[/name_f] girlfriend [name_f]Lidia[/name_f] is super butch but she has a soft, cool delicate demeanor. In the past few years, she’s been in a safe environment to express her masculinity fully and fortunately broke up with her family. Her name was significant to her because her sister picked it. Still, her sister’s been on a similar path as hers and recently changed her own name… between this and a work trip epiphany gf decided [name_f]Lidia[/name_f] is pretty but not befitting anymore.
She seems to like [name_m]Alex[/name_m] (a name she used on the internet as a kid) and [name_m]Leo[/name_m], but she’s not set on anything. For a long while she’s tried telling people to call her [name_m]Li[/name_m] but it didn’t pick up I think bc most monosyllabic names sound incomplete in Spanish… she loves that I gave her the nickname Lids, but same as with [name_m]Li[/name_m], it’s not usable. I believe she wants something unisex leaning masc. I want to cure a long list of options for her, just to see if something clicks. Here’s what I have so far:
[name_m]Aleix[/name_m] , [name_m]Emil[/name_m] , [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] , [name_m]Oriol[/name_m] , [name_m]Arnau[/name_m] , Feliu , [name_m]Leandro[/name_m] , [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] , [name_m]Milo[/name_m] , [name_m]Biel[/name_m] , [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], [name_m]Nil[/name_m], [name_m]Xander[/name_m], [name_m]Ilan[/name_m] , [name_m]Felix[/name_m] ( Lix as a nn would eliminate Lids phonetic problem) Olmo , [name_m]Nilo[/name_m] , Alai , Arai , [name_m]Elai[/name_m] , Elur , [name_m]Eli[/name_m] , Elixi , [name_m]Luka[/name_m] .
Any aditions are highly appreciated!!!
