i kind of want a new name but its so hard to pick one. what name do i look like i would have?
I wonder if this is of any help… But sometime parents have names planned before the child is born, and they might have had thought of two. Have you asked them if you had a female name before your birth?
In any case… Damn, you’ve got style! And sorry I cannot be useful with directly suggesting names. My mother tongue is not English, so all names I’d intuitively come up with would be all weird for an English-speaker.
I wanted to do that, but when I tried to come out to my parents my mom started saying like “well my identity is having a son!!” so now im just pretending to not be trans around them
Wow.
Well as a dad, I hereby officially declare you as fine just the way you are.
It’s ok to struggle as a parent with your kid’s sexuality/identity if you don’t fully understand things. It’s NOT ok to make it about yourself and stand in between your child and happiness.
Tell your mom an internet stranger said “shame on you” and bonus points if you throw a handful of glitter in the air as you walk away.
Edit: Taylor?
My mom said that if I’d been born a girl my name would have been Alice. I don’t need it, so you can have it if you want
Poor woman, she had a 50% chance of having to live with no identity at all.
…huh!
That is awful! You’re seriously unlucky with your parents. But you’ve got so much strength in you to be able to ask these questions. And to answer to my comment.
Admirable!
Uff, sorry to hear that. Hope they will come around and educate themself a bit about you. Best of luck, Emma (?)
Kate/Katy.
Also, nice kitty. I demand more cat tax.
Ooh I’d spell it katie but I like that.
Here’s roof cat
Trogdor the Burninator
Burrrrnanaaating the country-side!
How about Natalie?
oooooh i like that. i could be just like the best bob’s burgers character
In my view, there isn’t a “perfect name”. There is just a big bucket of good names. You pick a name and then throughout your life you make that name yours.
Your “perfect name” isn’t picked, it is built. That is why it’s hard to choose. Because none of these names are really yours yet.
Lauren, Rachael, or Sophie/Sophia/Sofia
I’m picking up Amy vibes from you. No matter what you pick though, there is no wrong name. I deliberated on mine for years, but in retrospect I was just stalling. Congratulations on finding the courage to come out, and sorry to hear your family not taking it well. I’m all too familiar with that sting of betrayal myself. If you ever need to talk or vent, we are all here for you!
Check out name meanings and find one that fits with what you want.
Alternatively since one of us is a fae we could give you a name we have
stolenbeen given.We can all give you suggestions, but what names were you feeling? Those are the best names to choose from.
These are my favorites far, not really in any order
- chloe
- emily
- taylor
- kate/katie
- sophie
- eleanor/elle/ellie
- sarah
- emma
- cassandra/cassie/cass
- natalie
All of those are great names, I like Eleanor personally
Brooke or Heather!
Fuck, I thought I had an original name to add. I know a Heather who looks exactly like OP. It’s a great name, kinda outdoorsy, not too common or too cliché imo.
Chelsea?
Bridget?
Mackenzie
Edit: my wife says Sophie
Courtney comes to mind. That might be very Gen X of me.
Emily? Elle? I say Elle because in the second picture you look like Elle Fanning, to my eyes at least. :) Cute berry vest :)
I like emily a lot, I feel like its maybe too much of a trans stereotypical name though. Elle is pretty good, I’ll add it to my list
Ohhh I gotcha, it’s a new world to me… good luck :)
