Are these the only transman names outside of Aiden, Jayden, Kayden and Raiden?

>>6849940
Lucas is really popular too.

>>6849830
What is with all the transguys named Sebastian?

>>6849956
That's my birth name lol
They can have it. I didn't like it anyway.

Is that really a common thing with trans men?

The handful of trans guys I am acquainted with use male versions of their old name.
e.g.
Alison - Alexander
Michel - Michal

>>6849817
Pretty sure that Stephanie is the MTF equivalent of Aiden

My boy name is Kaylan. I'm not 100% decided yet, but I kinda like Kayla (no, im not kayla) But I also like Ashley, but I feel like it's too much of a jump. Anyone have any input/suggestions?

>>6850889
they're already a famous transgirl named Kayla

>>6850273
Oh, god, you don't even know. Anyone have the Swedish MtF's Steam profile where she renamed herself Ritsu and said she was a lot like the K-On character? It was cringey...

>>6850727
None of those are particularly common. Well, Allison might be, but not hugely.
>>6850346
I've never met a trans women named Stephanie.

>almost actually considering keeping my boy name just because I'll never actually pass, all my peers around my age are entirely chill with me being trans, and I'm super used to it and identify with it

Wat do

If my child came out as transgender I'd love her and support her. That said, if she then told me the name she chose was "Jazz" I'd beat her silly.

>>6851162
I like Aubrey. You'll get tired of your birth name eventually, and you probably will start passing at least more often eventually.

>>6851208
Yeah but my girlfriend hates the name Aubrey. And coincidentally my mom hates the name Allison. And I'm pretty neutral to Allison, Aubrey, and Adon(boy name), but like at least me and others are used to calling me Adon and I like it's backstory(dad named me after his favorite street fighter character). Also my gf always calls me her 'maiden Adon' and I think it's really sweet and I wouldn't want her to have to come up with a new pet name.

>>6851287
choosing a new name with the same first letter as your old name will haunt you for the rest of your life.

I think you should keep with the Street Fighter theme. Have you considered Chun Li?

>>6852069
W-why?

Is it a bad idea to choose a new name that is super similar to my old one?

If it's something as uncommon as Adon, then that might work pretty well. I was imagining it was like Connor or something indisputably male. And of course, what matters most is that you like it, etc, etc...

And fuck you kayla for stealing a potential name to use on here. Also, I honestly don't know your old name. Did it start with a K? And more name suggestion are welcomed of any type. Just want input.
>>6852069
Wait... how much so??? Fill me in.

I know someone irl who named themselves after Harley Quinn (not the Quinn part just the first name)

Would naming myself Buddy be too weird? It's not necessarily after him, I just think it's a good name.

>>6857290
Got a cousin named Buddy, he's a chill guy. People don't really give him shit about the name. I'd say go for it.

I'm considering trying out the name "Niel." It feels masculine with the potential of androgyny. My real name is just too goddamn feminine.

>>6857290
After Buddy Holly?

Make it your middle name, but have people call you that. Patrician as fuck.

>>6858221
Marisa? Is that ze?

Why does everyone get so flustered about "Alice"?
I have literally NEVER heard of a single real MtF with that name. The meme doesn't make sense.

Conversely lots of FtMs are genuinely called Skylar or some variant of Aiden.
I've only known two FtMs in real life. One is called Hayden and the other chose Jack but then later changed it to Skyler.

Anyone else notice how gay transmen and transbians seem to choose bad names at a much higher rate that other transpeople?

>Not naming yourself Tomyris

Best trans name strategy: Give yourself a name that was popular when you were born, but not earlier or later. http://www.babynamewizard.com/voyager#prefix=&sw=both&exact=false

2nd best strategy: Pick a name so awful that no one would think you willingly gave it to yourself.

>>6858403

Literally the first trans girl I ever met was named Alice.

>>6858445
Same here

Maybe it's just one really, really active Alice?

>Mfw i just went to Sam to Samantha.
Thankyou parents for gender neutral name.
But then again
Sa
>Man
Tha
Too late now already chose that as my name, besides I respect my parents name choice.
I thought about Vessia or something edgy like that but I kinda wanna save that to torture my child. I actually kinda like it though cuz its unique. Although i think id only choose Vess for a guy and an actual girl name if i get a girl

Hm.. I'm an Allison if that counts. I think getting called Alice is a bit disgusting, but I think Allison sounds both cute and mature. My boyfriend does call me Alley, hiowever. Who knows though. In my defense, my boyname was Allen before, so it just kinda made sense.

Hi Alex.

"How did you pick your name?"
"I don't remember lol"

>>6852725
If you want to be subtle just use Marissa. If I encounter someone named udonge I'm going to flip shit.

>>6859619
it could also be Jordan or Hayden.

>>6852169

>>6850727 I picked Alyssa since my bestfriend as a child was named Alyssa and she was like my sister and we played together all the time and stuff and she was awesome. She got killed in an accident though when we were really little. I decided I was going to not kill myself and transition and I never really lived my life just like her and I figured it would be a sweet thing to do so I could live for us. I asked my mom before and my girl name was supposed to be Sage.

>>6860255
Thats really sweet desu.
Sage is dumb and sjw tier anyways.

>>6858900
Yeah kinda.

>Picked the name Tiffany.

I have never met trans that have popular names. Only 'regular' ones.

I once asked my mother that what she would have named me if I were the opposite gender. I am going to use that as my second name.
As for a first name, I'll go with one of the names that has been circulating in our family for generations. Like my current names.

What do you guys think of the name Wallace? I always liked the name growing up and still do but I'm afraid it'll be too stupid sounding in this day and age.

>>6871154
Don't come to Australia if you do, ya fuckin' Wally

>>6862660
Which character was it?

I chose a Scottish name because my female name is Scottish as well, though I'm not even white. I still don't know why my parents named me what they did. And no, it's not absurdly Scottish and weird sounding.

>>6850273

Probably Japanese trans people only.

>>6851162

"Aubrey" sounds like a wannabe version of "Audrey".

>>6871154

It's cool. Don't let people call you "Wally" though.

I like the name Anna, but my mom hates simple names, and wants me to go with Annabelle or something similar. Would that be too tranny, even if I went as Anna in person, just used Annabelle as what I put on paper?

Go with something you won't feel embarassed by in 10 years unless you plan on being stealth around people who know your mother's name preferences well in which case still better go with something you won't feel embarassed by in 10 years

If you have to take one name and use another it's probably not the best choice
