Hey, I’m currently going by the name [name\_f]Izumi[/name\_f], which is a Japanese gender neutral name, but no one is ever able to pronounce it, and people think that I got it from an anime because its Japanese (I wanted something close to my roots, being Japanese) and I would rather not have that ridicule. Any name suggestions for a neutral genderfluid high schooler? If any Japanese names are suggested, maybe some that are easier to pronounce on the first try instead of being called Izoomie? I also don’t want a super far off name for living in [name\_f]California[/name\_f], but I do want a new name that really resonates with me. ---

Sure thing! [name\_f]Izumi[/name\_f] is lovely, and I’m sorry that nobody can pronounce it! Here are some Japanese gender neutral names that fit the criteria… [name\_m]Yuri[/name\_m] [name\_m]Akira[/name\_m] (used as masc and fem in Japan but might seem to lean feminine in the US) [name\_f]Haru[/name\_f] [name\_m]Kyo[/name\_m] [name\_m]Kei[/name\_m] Anro [name\_m]Ren[/name\_m] [name\_m]Kenji[/name\_m] [name\_f]Rin[/name\_f] [name\_m]Akai[/name\_m] [name\_m]Aren[/name\_m] Ashi [name\_m]Hiro[/name\_m] [name\_f]Jo[/name\_f] [name\_f]Kami[/name\_f] [name\_f]My[/name\_f] favorites for you are probably [name\_m]Yuri[/name\_m] and Ren; they are straightforward to spell and pronounce in Japanese and [name\_f]English[/name\_f] and have a really cool vibe. [name\_f]Hope[/name\_f] this helps! ---

[name\_f]Izumi[/name\_f] is great - would you keep it as a middle maybe if you don’t find it works as a first? [name\_f]Haru[/name\_f] [name\_f]Takara[/name\_f] [name\_f]Shay[/name\_f] [name\_m]Kai[/name\_m] [name\_m]Kyo[/name\_m] Kio [name\_m]Ren[/name\_m] [name\_m]Ray[/name\_m] [name\_m]Jem[/name\_m] [name\_m]Elisha[/name\_m] [name\_m]Drew[/name\_m] [name\_m]Dillon[/name\_m] [name\_m]Hiro[/name\_m] [name\_m]Tay[/name\_m] [name\_m]Kodie[/name\_m] [name\_m]Rory[/name\_m] [name\_m]Kasey[/name\_m] [name\_m]Onyx[/name\_m] [name\_m]Iggy[/name\_m] [name\_m]Keegan[/name\_m] ---

aww thanks so much for these. I really like a lot of these names but nobody would pronounce them right 🫠 and would pronounce it with an r and I’ll be honest that’s a major pet peeve of mine, when something is said without a proper accent if it is supposed to have one I do really really like [name\_m]Kenji[/name\_m] though! I am definitely keeping that one in mind. Thank you so much! ---

Update: I just realized that I do NOT want [name\_m]Ken[/name\_m] as a nickname for me and I can already see that happening, so sadly [name\_m]Kenji[/name\_m] is off the board ---

Here are some more mainstream Japanese names: [name\_m]Kai[/name\_m] [name\_m]Koda[/name\_m] [name\_m]Zen[/name\_m] [name\_m]Hiro[/name\_m] [name\_m]Ren[/name\_m] [name\_m]Yoshi[/name\_m] [name\_m]Ronin[/name\_m] [name\_f]Yuki[/name\_f] [name\_f]Hoshi[/name\_f] [name\_m]Kaito[/name\_m] [name\_f]Akemi[/name\_f] [name\_m]Jun[/name\_m] Azuma ---

Thank you! I really like [name\_m]Yuki[/name\_m], [name\_f]Hoshi[/name\_f], [name\_m]Kaito[/name\_m], [name\_f]Akemi[/name\_f], and Azuma! I will definitely take this into consideration. Also, lately I have been thinking, while it isn’t a Japanese name, I have found myself to really like the name [name\_m]Keaton[/name\_m]. What do you think? ---

I like [name\_m]Keaton[/name\_m]. It has a nice crisp sound. Makes me think of Hollywood, [name\_m]Buster[/name\_m] [name\_m]Keaton[/name\_m] and [name\_m]Michael[/name\_m] [name\_m]Keaton[/name\_m]. Are you a movie buff? ---

I actually have never heard or those people before. I don’t watch a lot of movies, so none of them ring a bell. I was reading a book the other day and the name [name\_m]Keaton[/name\_m] is the name of a character in the book that is extremely similar to me in many different aspects, even how short we are! I guess I just really resonated with the name after reading it, and I toyed around with the idea of this being my name, and I really like it. I just don’t know for sure if I want to use this name or not. I think that I will wait for a while and if I find another name I like more I will go with that, but for right now [name\_m]Keaton[/name\_m] is my top pick. ---
