I want to change my middle name to something more unisex or masculine. I’ll most likely be keeping my first name (Mandy) for professional reasons and going by my middle name socially, and my last name has three syllables and sounds sort of like Sheridan.
First off, here are some names I like that for one reason or another I cannot use: James, Elliot, Kit, Shelby, Sasha, Schuyler, Finn, Sam.
Some names I’m considering:
Julian
Alex (a childhood favorite)
Noël
Darby
Miles or Myles (I wouldn’t have to change my initials)
Chase (not really my style, but a family name)
Martyn
Theo
Ellis
Quinn
Dare (a little left-field, I know)
Feedback? Suggestions? I feel all named out

I was going to suggest [name_m]Marcel[/name_m] as a middle. If you wanted to use [name_u]Alex[/name_u], I would do the full name [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and use a nn…the full name works better in the middle I feel (same with Theo/Theodore). I love [name_u]Julian[/name_u] from your list!
Other names I like with [name_u]Mandy[/name_u] are:
[name_u]Cameron[/name_u]
[name_u]Jordan[/name_u]
[name_u]Taylor[/name_u]
[name_u]River[/name_u]

Thank you all so much for your welcome and your suggestions! Some of your suggestions I can’t use (I do love Jordan but it’s not an option) but Emmett and Adair are definitely on my shortlist.
I would prefer Alexander to Alex but I feel like it sounds funny with Mandy.
Also. I really like Elliot and it comes up on a few of your suggestions but I’ve been compared to Elliot Page for his whole career, so would it be weird to use that?

I don’t think it would be weird! Most strangers wouldn’t know of those associations and it would probably just take once to explain to those who have compared you to him that that’s not why you chose it. And if you did choose it for the association it would still be fine!

I think I’ve narrowed it down but now I’m wondering if I should change my first or middle name. [name_u]Or[/name_u] both.
