Hello! I am coming out as non binary, and my dead name is Lavinia. I really like the name, but it is just too feminine. Can you recommend any similar names that are gender neutral?
Maybe Lavine? Like [name_f]Avril[/name_f] Lavigne? I think it sounds nice and unisex. [name_u]Or[/name_u] [name_u]Vinnie[/name_u].

Do you mean in terms of sound or vibe?
For sound, I think of Lavine (like the previous poster suggested), Love, Lior, Lumen, Linden, Lux, Lark, Lou, Laurence, Lennon, Luca, Elvire, Elvi, Victoire, Davis.
For vibe, maybe August, Augustine, Valentine, Basil, Cypress, Ira, Maxence, Ocean, Honor, Bellamy, Austen.

I like Vinnie, Lavine, Elvire, and Valentine though!
Vinny / Vinnie is the first thing I thought, there would be also Vin, Lavigne / Lavine, Lavinium and Laviney / Laviny. And Lavender, Vivendel or Lavendel might work for you too.
[name_u]Vinnie[/name_u]
[name_u]Valentine[/name_u]
[name_u]Lannie[/name_u]
[name_u]Linden[/name_u]
[name_m]Lio[/name_m]
[name_u]Lian[/name_u]
[name_u]Nev[/name_u]
I would be quite concerned about cultural appropriation as [name_m]Levine[/name_m] is a Jewish surname.
Absolutely [name_u]Vinnie[/name_u]! Super sweet!
Some more that are neutral and sound similar…
[name_u]Laurence[/name_u]
[name_f]Alvine[/name_f]
[name_u]Valen[/name_u]
[name_u]Avi[/name_u]
[name_u]Lane[/name_u]
[name_f]Lava[/name_f]
I feel like [name_u]Leander[/name_u] could work, but maybe that is too masculine?
[name_u]Evan[/name_u]
[name_u]Vale[/name_u]
[name_m]Venn[/name_m]
[name_u]Van[/name_u]
I wouldn’t be concerned. La-VEEN vs. la-VINE and also spelt differently, they’re comfortably different imo. But I am not Jewish.
What do you think about the name [name_f]Veil[/name_f]? I found it and thought it sounded nice. But any thoughts?
Lavine
[name_m]Levine[/name_m]
[name_m]Levin[/name_m]
?
I like [name_u]Vinnie[/name_u]. Could be short for [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] or [name_m]Vincent[/name_m] so it feels unisex IMO.
