hello, i’m a transgender man (female to male) looking for a name. i’m 18 and have spent my life going by a masculine version of my deadname (birth name) and now want to find something i like more. my favorite names are flower names like lily and rose but i need a more masculine name, i’m heavily considering sage and yarrow but i feel those may be too feminine. i also love ambrose for having rose in it. names relating to nature that are more artsy are my favorite but i need a name that people will respect me asking them to call me, so, nothing too out there, nothing too feminine, and i feel nothing too long will work best. i want a name that i will enjoy having and is special but worry about extra judgement i may face for having an odd name in any way as i already face enough judgement for who i am as is. i’ve been considering trying to find music related names to appease my father’s judgement, like ramone for the ramones, or cash for johnny cash, he likes reed for lou reed.
[name_u]Reed[/name_u] feels naturey and cool! [name_m]Ambrose[/name_m] is nice too
I’ll suggest
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
[name_m]Leon[/name_m]
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m]
[name_m]Killian[/name_m]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_m]Ross[/name_m]
Roscoe
Arlo
[name_m]How[/name_m] about something like [name_u]Lionel[/name_u]?
[name_u]Lennon[/name_u], [name_u]Ellis[/name_u], [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m], [name_u]Lyle[/name_u] come to mind!
I think [name_u]Reed[/name_u] sounds fitting!
