Hi, I’m a trans person and I’m looking for a name for myself. My siblings’ names are William, Anne and Joseph, so I’m looking for sth that fits in well with them.
I’m thinking: Benjamin, Daniel, Isaac, Nathan, Oliver, Oscar, Peter, Simon and Thomas.
You have some great names on your list so far! [name_m]Simon[/name_m] in particular stood out to me; it has similar sensibilities to [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] I think.
If you’re unsure about [name_m]Nathan[/name_m], how about [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] with the nickname [name_m]Nate[/name_m]?
What is your name now? Maybe use something that is the boy version of your original name? (if you have a good relationship with your family and would like to keep it similar)
All the best with your naming and transition journey :).
My daughter is also trans. I’m so proud of the confident wee girl she is blossoming into. She did a great job choosing her new name, but I do feel rather nostalgic for the name I picked for her.
If this is majorly awkward, just ignore the post. But I just wanted to mention my daughter’s old name, in case it feels like the name you’ve been looking for. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you feel like a “[name_m]Bram[/name_m]”? Strong, solid, classic but a little unusual, bit of a Euro vibe. The world could do with another [name_m]Bram[/name_m], and maybe that [name_m]Bram[/name_m] is you.
