Trans Male Looking For A Name

Hey, I’m a trans teenager looking for a new name. I’ve been searching for a while and thought I’d come here to get some suggestions. I’m half Mestizo and half Ashkenazi Jew. I am tall with curly black hair and brown eyes. I like fashion, baking, writing, music, & astrology.

I’m not really worried about finding a name that fits into the most popular names of my birth year, I am proud of my trans identity and enjoy uncommon names.

Here are some names I’ve considered but am not fully in love with yet:

  • Taliesin “[name_u]Tal[/name_u]”
  • Adlai
  • Yoel
  • Shalom
  • Jocelyn
  • Solomon
  • Ephraim
  • Sydney
  • Angus
  • Boston
  • Achilles
  • Simcha

I would appreciate suggestions for names very much. [name_f]My[/name_f] style is all over the place so I apologize. Thank you all so much. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] you are having a wonderful new year.

Wow, your list is really interesting! I’m a big fan.
[name_u]Sydney[/name_u], [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] and maybe [name_u]Simcha[/name_u] read feminine to me, so I might exclude them to avoid misgendering.
I honestly love all of the others! Especially [name_u]Shalom[/name_u], [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] and [name_m]Achilles[/name_m]. Based on your description of yourself I feel like they really suit you!

Ooh, I love [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u]! And I second [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m] and [name_m]Malakai[/name_m].

Maybe you’d also like:
[name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]
[name_u]Shiloh[/name_u]

Good luck with your name search!

I really like [name_u]Sydney[/name_u] and [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] the best, they seem to fit your description perfectly.

All the best choosing

Welcome! I really love [name_u]Simcha[/name_u], [name_m]Adlai[/name_m], [name_m]Yoel[/name_m] and [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u].

Shiloh sprang to mind immediately for me too. You might also like [name_m]Aneirin[/name_m] (ah-NYE-rin), [name_m]Sirius[/name_m], [name_u]Elim[/name_u], [name_f]Oriel[/name_f], Somerled or [name_u]Solace[/name_u].

Lots of fun, eclectic names on your list!

I love [name_m]Ephraim[/name_m], [name_m]Yoel[/name_m], [name_m]Adlai[/name_m], & [name_m]Solomon[/name_m] for you! [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] is also really cool and I like nn potential of [name_u]Joss[/name_u], but it leans pretty fem to me (not sure if that’s something you’d want to lean into or away from, but something to consider). [name_u]Sydney[/name_u] is similar to [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f] for me but I think [name_u]Sidney[/name_u] nn [name_u]Sid[/name_u] would be awesome

My first thought is [name_m]Ruben[/name_m]/Reuben which I think fits your background nicely and feels like someone who would enjoy the hobbies you do

My favorite is [name_m]Yoel[/name_m]. I’ve never heard of it and it is rather magical.

I like [name_m]Solomon[/name_m], [name_m]Adlai[/name_m] and [name_u]Taliesin[/name_u]

Tallis, [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], [name_m]Zakai[/name_m], [name_m]Hezekiah[/name_m], [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u], [name_u]Atlas[/name_u] and [name_m]Fergus[/name_m] came to mind

hello! welcome! I hope you find some help here (: berries have helped me in my name search multiple times!
