An introduction: I am nonbinary. I present more neutral/masculine, and I’m AFAB. I am a teenager, and this hunt has been long an arduous, because I am Picky and a writer, so despite all the names I’m acquainted with, none have stuck. So.
My birth name is [name_f]Jessica[/name_f]. I absolutely do not like the name [name_f]Jessica[/name_f]. I have already tried names like [name_u]Jessie[/name_u], [name_f]Jade[/name_f], and [name_u]Jace[/name_u], and want to leave the ‘J’ realm altogether.
My middle name is [name_f]Martine[/name_f] (mar-teen), and last name starts with an A.
So! Here’s a list of names that I’ve tried, and kinda liked, but ultimately didn’t stick:
[name_u]Jessie[/name_u], [name_u]Jace[/name_u] (Nope, tried to stick near birth name and don’t like that)
[name_u]Corbyn[/name_u]
[name_m]Cobi[/name_m]
[name_m]Fio[/name_m]
And, here’s some names that I love, but don’t want for myself:
[name_m]Fabian[/name_m]
[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]
[name_m]Aries[/name_m]
[name_m]Quill[/name_m]
And, to eliminate some of the classic ‘neutral’ names, because they appear everywhere, so please [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t :
I like [name_u]Corbyn[/name_u] and [name_m]Cobi[/name_m]! What about [name_u]Colby[/name_u] or [name_f]Cari[/name_f] (I know both a girl and boy named [name_f]Cari[/name_f]).
I’ll try to suggest some names that haven’t been listen yet:
[name_m]Bram[/name_m]
[name_m]Oren[/name_m]/[name_m]Orin[/name_m]
[name_u]Ren[/name_u]
[name_u]Ari[/name_u] (the name of a nb masculine friend)
[name_u]Paz[/name_u]
[name_u]Corin[/name_u] (It’s similar to [name_m]Cobi[/name_m]/[name_u]Corbyn[/name_u], but a lil different)

there are already some good suggestions here, but my favorite enby names (from folks I know) are [name_m]Soren[/name_m] and [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] (although tbh I’m not sure how they spelled it. Quen? [name_u]Quin[/name_u]? but it was a nice sound!) good luck to you!
But, the issue with Mikio is that it is a Japanese name, and I’ve heard lots of debate over people picking names that aren’t from their culture. As someone who’s white, I don’t feel like I have the authority to make the call and judgement. Could anyone give me aid from the proper points of view?
I’m not sure if it’s been suggested but Kestrel came to mind!
As for Mikio, I would recommend doing some research on the name and its usage in Japanese culture. I know that using names from other cultures can be a grey area but I don’t think just the act of choosing the name is inherently bad. If you use the name when it would be inappropriate for you to or you use it in an inappropriate way, that’s when it is bad. I’m not Japanese so I can’t help direct you about the name but I’m sure you can sources on the internet that will be helpful.
Well, I’m kinda on a little timeframe, being that I want to have a name selected by three weeks from now, and that’s certainly not stressful or anything.
But, here’s a new, updated list of names; I’d love extra suggestions, or notes on what associations/thoughts are with each!
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m] ( stell, steph, stella )
[name_u]Tyler[/name_u] ( ty )
[name_u]Murphy[/name_u]
[name_u]Remi[/name_u] (heh heh remington typewriter?)
[name_m]Mac[/name_m] / Mic ( suggestions from mom )
