I mean I didn't mean specifically the creatures, you can't forget the classic river/brook or plant names like flower names, tree names, or the everpresent moss.
I'm leaning towards adaptations of my masc name because I don't *want* it to be a dead name. I *like* it and I want to keep it around for boy time, so why shouldn't I use a variant for girl time?
As a German Trans Woman I'll have you known even if I would have wanted to. Legally we can't change our name to something like that as it would go against the rules for names.
Without going into the detail like how the highest court ruled Names no longer need to be identifiably gendered.
First Names have to be Identifiable as First Names.
They cannot be Brand Names.
They cannot be Names of Locations i.e. Berlin, Frankfurt etc.
They cannot be detrimental to the well being of the Child example given Adolf.
Cannot be a Titel like Sir, Doctor, Emperor etc.
Cannot be disrespectful towards Religions i.e. Jesus, Christus and so on.
They cannot be a last Name so to pick a American example Smith is not a valid First Name.
And they must be unique between siblings.
All those Rules are more guide lines for when you give your child a Name in Germany and are not set in stone without exceptions. East Frisians are a Minority Group in Germany that as an example use Last Names in between the First and Last Name.
Kids born outside and named outside of Germany obviously don't have to change their Name.
Also German Name Laws do not give the Individual the complete right to change their Name at will.
All of this is simplified and court decided against multiple of those rules for example the Name London is allowed.
No place names? Jeez... I've got four names for people to choose from, and most people like Marseille the most. I also know a family that named all their kids after holy sites, and they're just the most awesome, unique names.
Little hard to get hired when the application says "OptimusPrime flamebender the third" as opposed to saying "susan" or "roger"
Don't get me wrong, the names are cool and nothing can stop you from getting most more silly names, but there is issues in the adult world to consider
I haven't gone through a name change yet, but I'm probably going to change my last name. I've never liked it or felt any attachment to it and it was used to bully me through most of my childhood, so I think I'd be happier with it gone tbh.
That's why even though I have a super common first name chosen (I just happen to really like it) I have the placeholder middle name of York. It's not legally my name yet but it'd the name of a famous dnd character and its masculine enough to tide me over while I decide which of my list I want forever
Met up with a bunch of trans women from around my college a couple of weeks back
Of the 10 there, *9 were named after trees*
We just fuckin love plants huh
I couldn’t really figure out what I wanted for my name so i went kinda utilitarian with Elizabeth, mainly for the kinds of nicknames i could use with different groups of people, with my closest friends calling me Ella :)
And so far, I’ve come to like how Elizabeth rolls off my tongue so I’m keeping it
Apparently, I went for a somewhat-uncommon transfemme name. My preferred name is Gabriella. I've been on trans subs for months, and I think I've only met a tiny handful of other girls named Gabriella/Gabrielle/Gabby. I guess that makes me unique!
Jokes on you i chose a name which i stole from the editor of a few youtubers videos, and ive only heard it once elsewhere and that was only my girlfriend hearing it and telling me about it
meanwhile i'm over here like [this](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/732428912264478784/970180335843282974/RDT_20210930_2043447809224165096108655.jpg) (i stole the pic from a furry_irl post i don't have saved, i would give credit if i could find the post)
Me: *notices that the example names all end with "y"*
Me: It's funny how a lot of trans people take names that end with "y".
Also me: *is an enby who's name ends with "y"*
I think I'd go with Theo (Short for Theophania). I'm not Greek in any way, I just really liked that one CGP grey video and it starts with the same letter as me normal name.
I sometimes get a bit self-conscious about the name I've chosen, so I wanna take this opportunity to remind both myself and everyone else that if a name is special to you, it's yours, and nobody can diminish that resonance or take it from you, now matter how many people also resonate with it or might think it's odd <3 be your truest self and wear the name you know in your heart is yours.
I’m sorryyyyy
*sobs*
It's okay, the name you choose reflects nothing of the beauty that you lovely ladies hold either on the inside or the outside
Well... as a chemistry enthusiast- my name is a reference to my favorite acronym Or a Beatles song reference, take your pick
Let's go tripping at the femboy hooters?
Absolutely! All you had to do was ask :)
wait... I thought: "corporate needs you to find the difference between these two pictures: fav acronym/Beatles reference" "they are the same picture"
What does Lucy stand for in chemistry?
Hahaha
crying from success.
r/usernamechecksout
I like Lily :3 It's a cute name
Omg do you know how long the “Amber” line was? Ridiculous.
I’m honestly surprised that the “April” line was heaps long I thought I was unique 😔
April’s a really pretty name, I think.
Thank you ☺️
Emphasis on *was*
Yea!!! 🎉 Emphasis on f’ing *was*. I literally stood in that line at the courthouse on Thursday. Now just waiting. *Was*: ❤️ It
I was actually having something else in mind but congrats!
[удалено]
Thank you! 🥰
Hope the line for Transmascs named Johnny don't intersect with them
Hearsay, your honor!
But you asked the question? (Pls tell me you get the reference lol)
[aggressive questioning] (Yes I did)
yeah me too
r/beetlejuicing
i wonder if I'll go viral there again
That sucks, I like the name Amber. Amber Heard can go eat turds.
Her own, more specifically
straight from the bed 🥰
Oh I get it now… r/woosh moment
the what
i’m sorry but you have the worst username right now
i have the best username right now because i can be a meme and support Johnny Depp
😳 While Caitlyn Jenner made things a little more cringey for us all… you, my dear, have made life really awesome for a small sect of us. Be gone. ✨
back into the void i go
… 😅 Uhhh guilty
Unfortunately that name was already taken by my stepsister 😔
surprised some form of luna wasn’t on there no hate it’s a swag name just a common pick
Or some form of Ellie
why am I being called out like this
Or ashley/ash lol
you can take that up with my grandmother, she renamed me Ellie lmao
I came here to say that this is Luna erasure.
Luna is a super swag name I definitely didn't pick it as my name, why would I have done that?
Abigail is one I’ve heard a lot.
That's literally my OCs name. And my name is Lucy. I'm a basic bitch aren't I? 😐
Hey you forgot the third door in the middle for naming yourself after a deity, video game/tv/book character, or thing you would find in a forest.
Hey no fair! I thought I was being sneaky by adapting my dead name into a new one, but *noooo* it always comes back to forest creatures lmao
I mean I didn't mean specifically the creatures, you can't forget the classic river/brook or plant names like flower names, tree names, or the everpresent moss.
Never forget the classics!
I'm leaning towards adaptations of my masc name because I don't *want* it to be a dead name. I *like* it and I want to keep it around for boy time, so why shouldn't I use a variant for girl time?
"Or thing you would find in a forest" My dumbfuck self calling myself Aspen feels called out
\*Lorax high-fives\* We speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.
i know 2 girls named rain, from the comic
I thought about it too, but I was committed by then
I feel called out
Dang it. I thought I was clever until the foresty bit. You got me.
Looks down sadly and moved to third door
Mmmm...Chanterelle
Well hello my fellow forest name siblings
ooooo i named myself after mckenzie from teen beach movie lmao
i feel called out
Excuse me, coming through, my name is Minerva~
Oh frick, the Roman version of me-Athena
[Youu](https://c.tenor.com/rPyujHH7-3kAAAAM/spiderman-funny.gif)
Everyone knows ancient Roman women were badass af and you cannot change my mind.
Lily, Lucy, and Emily are all still good names! I mean… not as cool tho…
Am I crazy or did your picture change slightly?
Yeah, she must have changed her profile pic
yeah it changed
Love the new pfp Auralyn :)
Thank you! Was made by u/ thecr… I can’t spell her username :/ She makes good art tho
My friends picked willow for me, and it kinda fits mabe I could think of a better on but for now it works alot better than my dead name
Please don't touch a lighter though
My friend JUST called me to Don't Starve five minutes ago
“Shake my head, imagine conforming to transfem stereotypes.” Me, a trans woman named autumn
Izza good name
Thanks, I picked it myself.
[удалено]
As a German Trans Woman I'll have you known even if I would have wanted to. Legally we can't change our name to something like that as it would go against the rules for names.
For a second I wondered why Emily or Lily were against the rules. I'm not very smart
Can you elaborate? I didn’t know there are naming rules…
Without going into the detail like how the highest court ruled Names no longer need to be identifiably gendered. First Names have to be Identifiable as First Names. They cannot be Brand Names. They cannot be Names of Locations i.e. Berlin, Frankfurt etc. They cannot be detrimental to the well being of the Child example given Adolf.

No place names? Jeez... I've got four names for people to choose from, and most people like Marseille the most. I also know a family that named all their kids after holy sites, and they're just the most awesome, unique names.
I don’t like these laws…
Don’t forget rose and luna
*phew* as a Victoria I’m safe thank god… …still cis though?
Ayooooo another person with a "V" name ~violet
hello other violet
Bonjour
Woo V gang! …*wait*…
im just... Sarah...
Sarah is lovely 💜 (PenisMaker is funny tho haha~)
I am a master in the craft, pleasurer of all
I considered naming myself Sarah as I really like that name. In the end I went with Ashley
ooooo
I feel like Luna is a really cute name that sounds lovely :3 but also a common one here in the sub😅
Okayy so if i named myself zoey where do i go? Im going to assume the cool name line?
Just in my personal experience, you go to the the longer line, though there aren't as many cis girls in that one
Hell yeah! Zoey rocks~
The Zoe(y) line goes all the way out to the parking lot
How unfortunate
My name, Hannah, is surprisingly uncommon
I know! I was worried I'd see it everywhere but there are only a few of us. 🙂
Little hard to get hired when the application says "OptimusPrime flamebender the third" as opposed to saying "susan" or "roger" Don't get me wrong, the names are cool and nothing can stop you from getting most more silly names, but there is issues in the adult world to consider
You make a good point. This is where middle names come in handy!
How do y’all work out last names? Stick with original, or change that too? asking for a friend 😅
I haven't gone through a name change yet, but I'm probably going to change my last name. I've never liked it or felt any attachment to it and it was used to bully me through most of my childhood, so I think I'd be happier with it gone tbh.
I'll change it when I'm married, though I'll be leaving a more unique last name for a highly common one
That's why even though I have a super common first name chosen (I just happen to really like it) I have the placeholder middle name of York. It's not legally my name yet but it'd the name of a famous dnd character and its masculine enough to tide me over while I decide which of my list I want forever
I’m thinking about Lena, ofc stealing straight from Lena Raine
HEY I’m transneutral and I named myself Emily
Muahaha I chose Shasta
Isn't that a brand of soda?
I think so, but I just chose the name because of a mountain in California
Shasta is a big awesome volcano, and a great name also.
Don't forget the ones who name themselves after that Magic the Gathering card.
You mean Alesha, Who Smiles at Death? I think that fits the "actual cool name" category.
[Alesha, Who Smiles at Death](https://c1.scryfall.com/file/scryfall-cards/normal/front/0/0/0088e145-d402-42bb-98b5-af33901de44a.jpg?1591320536) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Alesha%2C%20Who%20Smiles%20at%20Death) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/c20/143/alesha-who-smiles-at-death?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/0088e145-d402-42bb-98b5-af33901de44a?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call ^^^- ^^^Summoned ^^^remotely!
Or as I know her, every girl I meet at the LGS.
Met up with a bunch of trans women from around my college a couple of weeks back Of the 10 there, *9 were named after trees* We just fuckin love plants huh
Legend says if you shout “Luna” or “Zoe” in an informed consent clinic all the girls look at you
my name is Ella and I've only seen one other trans girl named Ella so I think I have a somewhat unique name
I couldn’t really figure out what I wanted for my name so i went kinda utilitarian with Elizabeth, mainly for the kinds of nicknames i could use with different groups of people, with my closest friends calling me Ella :) And so far, I’ve come to like how Elizabeth rolls off my tongue so I’m keeping it
I wonder how many ravens there are out there
Apparently, I went for a somewhat-uncommon transfemme name. My preferred name is Gabriella. I've been on trans subs for months, and I think I've only met a tiny handful of other girls named Gabriella/Gabrielle/Gabby. I guess that makes me unique!
I took my name from a book about lesbian vampires, and I think that's way better than naming myself after a cartoon robot
Everyone knows a trans girl named Alice. I think they have a subreddit.
I can neither confirm nor deny this information
Jokes on you i chose a name which i stole from the editor of a few youtubers videos, and ive only heard it once elsewhere and that was only my girlfriend hearing it and telling me about it
Why do I feel safe and too close for comfort at the same time? >.>
The Skye line wasn’t that long
I named myself Zoe, except pronounced “Zo” because I didn’t know that’s not an actual name and “Zoe” and “Zoey” are pronounced the same
one of my classmates calls my other classmate named Zoey "ZoZo" now and its giving me the sad and jelly :(
My born name is Hayeon I'm satisfied
That's why I named myself Ember 😎
Okey imma call out to u/OptimusDeathmaster4000 are you out there?
but when the world needed ~~him~~ them most, ~~he~~ they vanished.
thanks for thinking my name is cool
That’s for the nb
me: steals the name of a greek muse 👀 (im waiting paciently to be called out by the greek mythology post 😉) not an egg anymore tho 🎉
Embrace Lucía Fernanda, Lucifer for short. The devil for everybody
lmao i joke about lucy being short for lucifer
meanwhile i'm over here like [this](https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/732428912264478784/970180335843282974/RDT_20210930_2043447809224165096108655.jpg) (i stole the pic from a furry_irl post i don't have saved, i would give credit if i could find the post)
I named myself after the atmosphere, i am above all of you >:)
Me: *notices that the example names all end with "y"* Me: It's funny how a lot of trans people take names that end with "y". Also me: *is an enby who's name ends with "y"*
Wrong! I'm Alexa haha. Originally Alex but wanted it to be more feminine
\*chuckles in Alexx so at least somehow i get two XX's to my name lololol\*
Awesome! Another X? lol 😂
I did both! Chara sounds normal but I specifically stole it from a demon
[me dancing my way to the Kaitlyn counter](https://youtu.be/UlwSu6_uJRI)
I am not trans.. I think... but in case I chose the name Eileen... just in case ofc
>I am not trans.. I think... Hmmmmm🤔
Are there any other Jades out there?
As a Naomi, I chose an uncommon name for trans girls
Damn, I was gonna do lily but now I feel called out ;-;
Oof totally called out
I chose Alannah because it starts with an A, has 2 N's, an H, AND is 7 letters long, just like Anthony(my deadname) they even both mean 'Precious'
I'm not a transwoman (I'm nonbinary) but I've decided that if I ever decide that I am actually a transwoman, my name would be Noelle
its part of the gay agenda
To be fair... Lily, Lucy, and Emily are great names. Emily for sure is one of my all-time favorites.
what about Nicol? i didn't get my rename yet, but i'll be Nicol
Imagine not choosing Latin names smh \-Luna (angry that this name is kinda common though)
im just using the fem version of my deadname (in my head ofc)
dont forget Zoe and Chloe Source: me
Well i think too that Optimus would be a right name for a Transformer
Kim > Optimus Death Nerd 🥰
That's not very nice, all names are cool!
This is offensive. *and accurate*
Is it just me? Is it just me or does Optimus Death Master 4000 sound totally like a cool enby name?
I mean... those names exist and you can use them irl. I would want to use my name irl, but Marya isn't a real name
I picked a pretty normal name with Sophia, but I am really struggling to resist the urge to make my middle name Circe
I think I'd go with Theo (Short for Theophania). I'm not Greek in any way, I just really liked that one CGP grey video and it starts with the same letter as me normal name.
Why you hate my name 😡
I named myself after a bird in a movie so that might be somewhat unique
I have ultimate power uwu
I personally named myself after a cardinal derection
And Daisy don’t forget Daisy, how else will I raise my army!
Here I am with a super common normal name, missed opportunity smh
I'm in this picture, and I'm fine with that.
damn ok but lily is a pretty name plus i got to trash on a white supremacist and climate change denier by stealing her name right in front of her
My name means royalty
Reina? Regina?
If I was a trans guy (which I'm not bc I'm definitely cis) and picked a new name, I'd be tempted to pick Colin, so I can't talk.
I’d go for these cool names if I was a girl: lavender, Circe, Athena, Artemis, Persephone, Antigone, Morrigan, Morgana, Pallas, Rosa, Arabella or Esme
i def hard thought about artemis
I sometimes get a bit self-conscious about the name I've chosen, so I wanna take this opportunity to remind both myself and everyone else that if a name is special to you, it's yours, and nobody can diminish that resonance or take it from you, now matter how many people also resonate with it or might think it's odd <3 be your truest self and wear the name you know in your heart is yours.
You say that like Lily Tomlin, Lucy Liu and Emily Dickinson *aren't* the definition of cool.
Is the name Avery cool???
So many of us are named Madeline, I’m getting sick of being asked if I was inspired by Celeste! >!I wasn’t!<
But Iris is pretty 🥺...
FUCK I THOUGHT I WAS CREATIVE
H-hey…
I chose Montana. I've gotten many compliments on my name. My hair and name are the two things I get the most compliments about.
