Transgender-Girl Name

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all, I’m looking for a name for my transition. I have a couple ideas, but if anyone has any ideas based off of the names I list, let me know!

[name_f]Rayna[/name_f]

[name_u]Maddison[/name_u]

[name_u]Nevada[/name_u]

[name_u]Fallon[/name_u]

[name_f]Bria[/name_f]

[name_u]Blair[/name_u]

[name_f]Dior[/name_f]

Some depends on your age. [name_f]Maddison[/name_f] might be young-ish, and that spelling is odd. [name_u]Nevada[/name_u] - never! Think of all the drag queens in [name_u]Nevada[/name_u]…an association people might make, depending on how successful your transition is. [name_f]Dior[/name_f] is a designer, again, not good for reasons like [name_u]Nevada[/name_u]. [name_u]Blair[/name_u] is an unattractive name to me. [name_u]Fallon[/name_u] is just so boring. So that leaves [name_f]Rayna[/name_f] or [name_f]Bria[/name_f] as my choices.

My favorites from your list are [name_u]Madison[/name_u] and [name_f]Bria[/name_f]; both are accessible but not overused. Some other ideas based on each name you like:

[name_u]Madison[/name_u]: [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_u]Addison[/name_u], [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] (or [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f]), [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f]
[name_u]Nevada[/name_u]: [name_f]Veda[/name_f], [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] (or [name_f]Neve[/name_f]), [name_f]Ada[/name_f], [name_f]Nessa[/name_f], [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f]

[name_u]Blair[/name_u]: [name_f]Greer[/name_f], [name_f]Bea[/name_f], [name_f]Lara[/name_f], [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_u]Adair[/name_u]
[name_f]Dior[/name_f]: [name_m]Dion[/name_m] (or [name_f]Dionne[/name_f]), [name_f]Chanel[/name_f], [name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_f]Kate[/name_f]

[name_f]Kalila[/name_f]

My favorites from your list would be [name_f]Rayna[/name_f] (although I personally prefer [name_f]Reyna[/name_f]) and [name_f]Bria[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Briar[/name_f] spelt like this. Out of your list I like [name_f]Bria[/name_f] and [name_f]Rayna[/name_f].

My favorites are [name_f]Rayna[/name_f] and [name_f]Bria[/name_f].

What about [name_f]Shasta[/name_f], or [name_f]Brenna[/name_f]?

You might also like [name_f]Cambria[/name_f], Sira, [name_f]Odessa[/name_f], [name_f]Soraya[/name_f], [name_f]Tamara[/name_f], or Keltie.

W/o knowing anything about your personality, it’s hard for me to pick a name. Are you a super-modern person, no frills? Classic? More into the outdoors?

When I read your names, my impressions are:

[name_f]Rayna[/name_f]: Reminds me of a classic [name_f]Star[/name_f] Trek episode, so smooth, sleek, a bit sci-fi. Seeing as how it’s the phonetic spelling of [name_f]Reyna[/name_f], which stems from [name_f]Reine[/name_f] = queen, I find it somewhat aristocratic too, in a quiet & understated way. And w/the word “rain” as part of its pronunciation, it’s also got a nature-y vibe.

[name_f]Maddison[/name_f]: There were a number of Madisons of a wide variety of spellings in my daughter’s high school class (she graduated in 2016), so the name has a teenager feel for me. Using this spelling gets you easily to the nn of [name_f]Maddi[/name_f]/[name_f]Maddy[/name_f], if you were thinking about a nn.

[name_u]Nevada[/name_u]: This has a very Western, wide-open-spaces, mountainy feel to it. Jeans & flannel shirts & boots, hiking, horseback riding. For me it has a very pretty sound.

[name_u]Fallon[/name_u]: I think of fawns when I heard this, so it has a shy, sweet feel to it…although there was the character of [name_u]Fallon[/name_u] Carrington in Dynasty (probably way before your time!) that was the antithesis to that image.

[name_f]Bria[/name_f]: Short & sweet, w/some zip to it, possibly because it brings to mind the term brio, which is defined as “vigor or vivacity of style or performance.” If you’re musically inclined, I can see why [name_f]Bria[/name_f] would appeal. For me it has a definite feminine feel.

[name_u]Blair[/name_u]: This one is more sleek & unisex; it’s also reminiscent of a character from an '80s sitcom (The Facts of Life). [name_u]Blair[/name_u] makes me think of names like [name_u]Whitney[/name_u], [name_u]Lindsey[/name_u], [name_f]Lauren[/name_f], [name_f]Nicole[/name_f], & [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f].

[name_f]Dior[/name_f]: This is an unusual surname name…I don’t know how familiar people are w/it. Would people know it’s pronounced “[name_f]Dee[/name_f]-or”? Or would they say “Die-or”?

Of your list, my preferences would be [name_u]Nevada[/name_u] & [name_f]Bria[/name_f]. Best of luck as you move through your journey! :slight_smile:

I love [name_f]Bria[/name_f] and [name_u]Fallon[/name_u]. They both feel sweet yet spunky to me. [name_u]Fallon[/name_u]'s pretty gender neutral though–something to consider.

Other names that might appeal to you-

[name_f]Evie[/name_f]
[name_f]Tilda[/name_f]
[name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_f]Stella[/name_f]
[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Vita[/name_f]
[name_u]Emery[/name_u]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_u]Romy[/name_u]
[name_f]Margo[/name_f]

Good luck! I hope you find something that fits you.

Thank you so much! I really love the names [name_f]Brynn[/name_f] and [name_f]Dionne[/name_f].

Thank you! [name_f]Nova[/name_f] and [name_f]Luna[/name_f] are great names!
