Can I be trans and still keep my male name? Will people

>>8411609
Just choose a unisex name.

Or say it's short for the female version of your name.

>>8411609
Depends on your name.

>change name to samantha
>go by sam
>profit
or do the same thing with your name of choice

people will hammer you and rage when u refuse to tell them a female name you dont wana go by until you transition.

>tfw my name is already a girl's name

im ok with this I suppose.

>>8411609
Unless it's something androgynous like Sam or Alex I personally wouldn't

>>8411609

Why do you want to keep your male name?

>>8411909
Why do you already have a girl's name? How feminine is it?

It's super obscure. My parents decided to give me a name from a different culture in a time before the internet. They didn't research very much and thought the name meant "Strong Warrior!!!" when it actually means something along the lines of "Beautiful Woman". It's not super feminine sounding but I've gotten double takes from actual people from that region after I've told them my name. I've even gotten a "ma'am" when talking to tech support over the phone after telling them my name. It's kinda funny.

What is it? You have to share your name now ma'am. I insist.

I would change my name to what my mom would've named me, but she told me she doesn't want me to do that. I'm pretty far into my transition now, and I guess I'm okay just keeping my name.
It also used to be fairly unisex when I was born, but now has fallen firmly into the masculine side. Oh well.

:( Your mom isn't supportive?

>implying anyone takes trans people seriously

>"hey guys im gonna invite my friend Tyrone over"
>adorable qt gril arrives
>"Hey Anons, this is Tyrone!"
>"whats poppin nigga"

She's definitely not supportive. She has become more understanding over the years, so that's nice. She might even say I could change my name to what she would've named me now, but I'm okay keeping my name.

>>8412669
Yeah so my name is Logan, whenever I meet people who knew my name before but not me, they are pretty surprised. I don't care though. People get used to it when they get to know me.

>>8412702
I know like a dozen girls names Logan. You're good. You know, it's funny. Apparently Dylan has become more associated with the feminine side over the years but I only know male Dylans, including myself and like four others.

>>8412820
Aw thanks. I've never met a girl with the name Logan, but apparently it was in the top 100 girls baby names when I was born. And yeah, it looks like Dylan is definitely a unisex name now.

>>8411909
Hey, me too!

Well, it's a unisex name with a more commonly female spelling with a y and a more commonly unisex/male spelling with an i or o.

My parents were trying to be different, and I gues it worked.

I am named after a king and my name is in a country name that I am tied to at all because I am German blooded
