i’m non-binary and i’ve recently chose the name [name\_u]Ashton[/name\_u] but i now need a middle name. i’d like it if it was neutral or even leaned a little feminine just to kind of balance out the more masculine first name. my last name starts with a “B” and is two syllables long. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! here are some name ideas i have but i’m not really sure about: [name\_u]Ashton[/name\_u] [name\_u]Avery[/name\_u] B. (this is top choice, to me it’s got a similar vibe to [name\_u]Riley[/name\_u] which in my mind is very neutral but leans ever so slightly fem) [name\_u]Ashton[/name\_u] [name\_u]Dakota[/name\_u] B. (this is second choice but there’s just something about it that i’m not 100% on board with) [name\_u]Ashton[/name\_u] [name\_u]Elm[/name\_u] B. (i think it’s a pretty sick name but at the same time i feel like it’s a little, idk, cheesy? corny? because they’ve both got a tree thing going on) [name\_u]Ashton[/name\_u] [name\_u]Scout[/name\_u] B. (i like the name [name\_u]Scout[/name\_u] in theory but i’m not so sure in practice) ---
