I’m trans ftm and still wondering about my name. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are:
Tristan nn [name_u]Tris[/name_u]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u] nn [name_m]Tad[/name_m]
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] nn [name_m]Walt[/name_m]
[name_m]Winston[/name_m] nn [name_u]Win[/name_u]
[name_u]Griffin[/name_u] nn [name_m]Griff[/name_m]
[name_m]Nikolaus[/name_m] nn [name_u]Nik[/name_u], [name_u]Niko[/name_u], Kol or [name_m]Klaus[/name_m]
I was just wondering what you lovely people think about the names, your favourite of them or some suggestions like them. Thanks.
Theodore ‘[name_u]Theo[/name_u]’, [name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u] ‘[name_m]Tad[/name_m]’, and [name_u]Griffin[/name_u] ‘[name_m]Griff[/name_m]’ are my favorites! [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] is great as well, though [name_u]Tris[/name_u] reminds me of the protagonist from the Divergent series.
Tristan “[name_u]Tris[/name_u]”— [name_u]Tris[/name_u] is strictly feminine for me due to it being a nn for [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]. I’m not a fan of [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] anyway, though.
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] “[name_u]Theo[/name_u]”— YES. I took [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] off of my list because it wasn’t dashing enough but [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] is always a big yes from me. I much prefer [name_u]Theo[/name_u] to [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]!
[name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u] “[name_m]Tad[/name_m]”— I adore [name_u]Thaddeus[/name_u]! Another YES! [name_f]My[/name_f] preferred nn in [name_m]Thatch[/name_m], but [name_m]Tad[/name_m] is also very cute.
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] “[name_m]Walt[/name_m]”— yet another big YES! Not many people like [name_m]Walter[/name_m] but I love it
[name_m]Winston[/name_m] “[name_u]Win[/name_u]”— I think I like it, but I’m not sure?
[name_u]Griffin[/name_u] “[name_m]Griff[/name_m]”— not a fan of either, sorry.
[name_m]Nikolaus[/name_m]— I love it!
Theodore - one of my favorites for the nn potential of [name_u]Theo[/name_u]! The name definitely has a vintage feel, making me think of a studious, relaxed personality. [name_u]Theo[/name_u] as a nickname is timeless to me!
Thaddeus - Has a strong and old feel to it in a fun way. [name_m]Tad[/name_m] is simple, sounds less formal, and has a “cool” vibe.
Griffin - Along with [name_m]Nikolaus[/name_m] it stands out a bit against your other options. [name_u]Griffin[/name_u] is a subtle name with lots of character! [name_m]Griff[/name_m] is a nice way to shorten it, and [name_m]Fin[/name_m] is also an option!
Nikolaus - I like this option. It has a charming, sharper feel and is timeless to me as well. [name_u]Niko[/name_u], [name_u]Nik[/name_u], and [name_m]Klaus[/name_m] all have different feels to me in terms of nicknames. The spelling variance adds personality!
I love [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but there are a good amount of trans people named [name_u]Theo[/name_u] - that’s not a bad thing, of course, but it’s something you should know.
[name_m]Walter[/name_m] is a cool name, what do you think of nickname Waltz?
[name_u]Griffin[/name_u] is my favorite for some reason - it seems like a good name for you :))

They’re all great! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] ([name_u]Tris[/name_u]), [name_m]Winston[/name_m] ([name_u]Win[/name_u]), and [name_m]Nikolaus[/name_m] ([name_u]Niko[/name_u] or [name_m]Klaus[/name_m], though either are also great stand alones).
