Give me your origin stories
As a kid I made up a fake girl who's sould was inside me cause I was a normal boy i just had a girl inside me and I used her name when I trooned out
>>42778511I don't get it how did you pick the name
it wasnt very complicated for me. I kept an ear out for names that called out to me. Originally, I took names from famous women I looked up to or fictional women*--carefully avoiding names from women in my social circles--but I eventually decided to pick an ethnic and age-appropriate name. I'm feeling confident in my most recent pick, Pamela.*NOT anime. dont pick an anime name like a fucking sperg please
>>42778416idk i always thought that it was an incredibly pretty nameso yeah im emiliacool nicknames as well
>>42778416>I google my own assigned at birth name out of curiosity and to see if I've had personal information leaked anywhere>It shows up with a 50/50 mix of women and men with the same nameSaved me the cost of going to change my name
>>42778969>*NOT anime. dont pick an anime name like a fucking sperg pleaseI did this but only because it's a Western name that happened to be in the top 100 girl names for my birth year/country, am I still a sperg?
>>42778969What do you think of Charlotte?
>>42779092Only downside of this is that people can easily guess your deadname
>>42779092The issue with this for me is Darian and Daria fucking suck
>>42778416honestly i just listened to this album and instantly thought "yep that's the one. amelie fits me perfectly. that's me!"i went with my language's version of it though so as not to be a clocky namehon weirdo. it's not a super common name but also not unheard of so i think it's fine. it has the added benefit of starting with the same initial as my deadname so i don't need to change my signature, and it might prove useful in certain situations until i legally change my name.
>>42778416a harrowing quest into the realm of fae where i slew one of their lords and cut his name from his corpse and consumed it for my own
>>42778416My parents had a name in mind for both genders before I was born so I'm just using the name I would've had if I weren't cursed to be a tranny
>>42778416i just chose what my mom wanted to name me anywayits even clockier than my deadname is for ftms, which is considerable
>>42778416i spent an hour or so going through r/namenerds and found one that no one i know has + is nice(also is june clocky....i haven't gotten anyone's opinions on it yet)
Im going to ask again is Estelle a good girl name i just like that it means star
>>42780457You so aren't a star lmao
>>42778416>ErikaNO LITTLE GERMAN GIRL
>>42778416Idk I just picked a name I thought sounded nice
>>42778416The initials of my new name spell out SS and i think that's pretty funny
>>42778416i saw that "gen Z girl with no personality meets gen Z girl with no personality" tiktok and thought Paige was lowk a good name so I'm sticking with it
I DON'T REMEMBEEEEERI CAN'T REMEMBERI DON'T KNOW WHY DO I HAVE THIS FUCKING NAMEAt least people tell me it fits me.
>>42778416i random name generated until i found a name i liked and went with that for like 4 years. eventually thought of a name that suited me a lot better, lots of little reasons like ethnically suiting me and my personality, also as little nods to things that mean a lot to me. it just kinda came to me one day.
>>42778416I picked the name my mom wanted for me before I was born because she wanted a girl
>>42779485i dont understand how that helps you to pass
>>42778969>PamelaHot.There was a hot Pamela in highschool
>>42779232try being>Jimmifer
>>42778416I was like 7 and just used the feminine version of my deadname in my head before I even knew what trannys were and ig it stuck
>>42781112yeah im guessin that pamela wasnt a transition gender
>>42778416I never was super dysphoric about my name so I just went from Daniel to Danielle, but I do mostly go by Elle.
>>42778416it starts the same as my old name and my bullies used to call me it so i just went with it
>>42779490what a way to discover both of your parents are unimaginative reppers
>>42781389people fucking call you dani can only imagine how much of an ogre you must be
>>42779092same tbhoni have a gender neutral nickname that i want to keep because i like it>Me, just female.yeah it's nice because going for completely new name makes me feel less like me
>>42782138>Stevenella
>>42781389oh i missed this lol me tooi like going by Danny/Dani i would spell it Dany if game of thrones didn't ruin that one
>>42782169in what world does steve have a gender neutral nickname
>>42778416i stole it from my best friend at the time i was secretly in love with and just changed it to the girl version
>>42778416It is a gender neutral name and I got it from one of the guys in my dad's favorite glam band. I bet you think it's Tracy. You probably think so. But it's not. It's not Dana either.
>>42778416i took the name i was baptized as and then genderbent it. its a timeless name and also not some retarded bs since its literally a family namedimitria
>>42778416I chose Marcellina because when I was suicidal the first person I came out to got a piece of paper and started writing down a list of all these different names I could be, and I chose from that list.
>>42783484I literally saw you in another thread
>>42783497i forget have i said my name and shown my face at the same time? oopsies
>>42783500No just the name its unique enough
>>42783503Also it was recent like a day or two ago or so
>>42783503oh lol good !! do you like it?
>>42783509I’ve never heard it before, I’ve known a dimitri but not a Dimitria. Im not greek enough to honestly give my opinion and give a good answer. If it’s as common as dimitri, you get flying colors from me
>>42783536yeah its fairly common for greeks + its orgin is literally demeter so its kinda always been feminine in a way
>>42778416I picked a recurring name the women of my family have had for generationsMy parents didn't name my sister the name and my aunt and uncles were mad at themI chose the name for myselfMy parents don't like to talk to me anymore but my aunt appreciated the name so much she's like a second mom to me now atp
>>42783574thats very sweet nona im happy for u
>>42778416Picked a Fitzgerald character I related to. I too fixate on what I cannot have and will never understand by the very nature of my existence, and on recreating this lost experience I was never entitled to in the first place. And I'm after that bag
>>42783478vivian?
>>42778416go it from anime
>>42778416i used the name of my eating disorder
>>42783838copro to your friends
>>42778416i stole my mom's middle name... its not like she was using it or anything
>>42778416I was carmen because carmen lobotomy corp and now im Erin because I know some people who had the name and I like it
>>42783973you gotta go off vibes and especially mouthfeel if that makes sense
>>42778416my parents gave me a boy and a girl name (middle name)so I didn't really have to pick a new nameI just used the other one my parents gave me
>>42778416top names (year I was born) (country)didn't like #1 because I had beef with someone with that one #2 was my cousin #3 was there so i picked that oneIn retrospect I wish I put more thought into it I have like 2 or 3 names that I think fit me more but like now I have too many friends to change it
>>42778416I just kept my name Xander because there’s a girl named Zander on Instagram and I think she’s cool
>>42784071Zander for reference :D
>>42784076Do you think she picked that name because people told her she smells fishy?
>>42778416I was born with the name Jessie and I changed it to Jesse. My mother said I'd have had the same name if I were born AMAB. Later changed my name to Jerzy because it seemed like the most similar Polish name to my original name (yes, I know that it means George).
>>42784098Why the second change?
>>42784106I moved to Poland and as soon as I could I changed my full name into a Polish name.
My cis friend was really high in the group chat and she kept calling me "charlotte chrysalis webb" for some reason. At the same time the house I was staying at was on Charlotte Street so I went with it...it's not the name I go by to friends, though
>>42778416I just stole Alex Vause's name because she was hot and i wasn't going to fall into the TrannyTrap of calling myself 'Lilith'.
>>42778416idr how i picked it as a kid, but it was like a pseudonym i used a lot. i think there was one girl with that same name in the daycare I was in and I thought it was a really nice name. and then when I trooned out i just thought, why not just use that name. I looked at some genealogy stuff and found a great aunt with the same name who died exactly 100 years earlier, so that kinda made it even more fitting.
>>42778416I named myself after my ffxiv character cause im an autistic faggot
>>42778416My mom accidentally let it slip how I'd be named if I had been born XX. Since I was "confused for a girl" most of my life anyway, I've grown accustomed to using both the feminine version of my birth name and the name my parents would've picked.So when time came, I picked that one and also feminized the birth name.Things went smoothly because I mostly passed even before hrt.
>>42784135ntaMy name sounded Slavic enough already. But you're based for the effort to integrate.>t. roon from Romania now living in Poland
>>42778416I've always liked the name Elin and i wished it was my name as a kid and its a very common name here in sweden so it was an easy choice to makepeople say that it suits me so i guess i made the right choice
>>42779012ok saeko
>>42778416Mostly thought what nicknames would come from the choice, and which could reasonably be called neutral/masc if i wantedTurned out i independently chose the name my mother wanted for a daughter
>>42784539>Elinmeans organ (like as in an organ in your body, not the instrument) in finnish, keep that in mind if you ever come across the gulf kek
>>42783494lmfao
>>42783574that's a common ruse that nonsupportive families use to get you to detranshas she asked you about detransing yet
>>42783973erin is too close to Ernieyou are a namehon
im a tranny so...also I wanted something non androgynous
>>42787090>ALLISON>ALL>I>SON
I made a smash.gg bracket (double elim) with every name i liked and thats how I decided. It was the last autistic thing I did.
I wrote down vowels, and pleasantly sounding bigrams and consonants, then dowsed the best ones using a pendulum /x/ style. Then then I wrote out all permutations of I think the four best picks, and chose the most comforting name which feels the most like 'me' if that makes sense. Idk why I chose such a complicated method but I'm happy with the name I ended up with.
>>42787090>copeland allison
>>42778416how about 'Necron Berserker' hunny?
>>42787112my last name when translated also means "son of (name)"
>>42778416I wish I could explain without doxxing myself but I put a lot of thought into it.>when shortened my new name kinda sounds like my deadname(makes it easier for friends and family)>it has aspects of the name my parents would’ve given to me in case I was born a girl>has a cute feminine meaning>it happens to be the name of an anime character but I’m not a fan of the thing they are from so it’s not cringe plus I’m asian
>>42778416i asked my mom what names she wanted to name me and picked a gender neutral one
>>42778416named myself after the female sibling of these two characters from a popular franchise since i shared the name of the male sibling alreadydidn't want to take the name of someone i knew and i found the name amusing at the timenow its awkward when people do background checks on me
