[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I’m a recently out trans man and was hoping I could get a little help picking a new name! I’ve been going by [name_u]Robin[/name_u] for a while, but it feels too feminine. I want something very masculine that won’t be misconstrued for a girls’s name. I’d also like something that is/has a nickname, but that’s not a requirement. Here’s a couple I like so far:
[name_m]Dante[/name_m]
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]
[name_u]Michael[/name_u]
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u] (Mixed feelings- I like it and I like the nicknames, but might it be too feminine?)
[name_m]Jason[/name_m]
[name_m]Cecil[/name_m]
Dante and [name_m]Cecil[/name_m] are both wonderful options! I personally see [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] as completely unisex and wouldn’t think of it as only masculine or feminine, but if it’s not a comfortable fit then it’s not a comfortable fit! Have you thought about [name_m]Charles[/name_m]? It’s solidly masculine and you could still go by the nickname [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] if you wanted to.
It might help if you describe yourself a little bit? But I totally understand if you’re not comfortable doing that online! Good luck finding the perfect name!
Thank you so much for responding!! I really like [name_m]Adrian[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] and and [name_m]Atticus[/name_m]- I’ll have to add those to the list.
Lucas used to be on my list and I really liked it, but I removed it because my sister thought it didn’t fit. I might add it back now- thanks for the new additions of [name_m]Ross[/name_m] and [name_m]Zachary[/name_m]!
I’d recommend you to avoid [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] because many people see it as unisex. However, I like @midwinter’s idea of using [name_m]Charles[/name_m] with nickname [name_u]Charlie[/name_u]!
Some other names you might like:
[name_m]Bram[/name_m], [name_m]Casimir[/name_m], [name_m]Casper[/name_m], [name_m]Colin[/name_m], [name_u]George[/name_u], [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_m]Jonas[/name_m], [name_m]Julius[/name_m], [name_m]Marcus[/name_m], [name_u]Max[/name_u], [name_m]Rafael[/name_m], [name_m]Tom[/name_m], [name_m]Victor[/name_m], [name_m]Vincent[/name_m], [name_m]Will[/name_m]
Definitely adding [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] and [name_u]James[/name_u] to my list-- I really like all the possible nicknames for those! I might add [name_m]Luke[/name_m] as well.
