Hi, I'm a fifteen year old transgirl, and I'm trying to decide on a name for myself, and would really appreciate it if you would vote on one or two of the following names.

 

• Sadie

• Avery
• Stella
• Hazel
• Eve
• Sage
• Anna
• Sloane

Ignore the second part, I only meant to post the first one.

Choosing a name is highly personal. In some cultural contexts, a new name is bestowed - for example to honor religious or spiritual advancement. But in such contexts the bestower of the name has some sort of deep connection with the one being named. Perhaps it would help if you tell us about yourself and why the names you're deciding among are attractive to you. A dialogue about the names may reveal to you a special connection with one above the others. This will be more meaningful to you in the long run over simply requesting people's opinions.

I chose my name because of so many reasons - it flows like a breeze on a wind; it is unquestionably feminine; it can be shortened to an approximation of my former name Brea (Bree) = Barry to ease any awkwardness with family, friends and colleagues; It is also a nod to JRRT, whose books I adore.

 

And I don't have to change my signature...

Choose your name by yourself.  Nobody can say what resonates with you. 

[awkward-yet-sweet]

Some people choose a name similar to their original given name...if such is easily done.  Joseph becomes Josephine, Carl becomes Carol, and so forth.  But if that's not possible, you can pick something that you like the sound of, or that reminds you of a woman you respect.

Well Transgurl I love the name Anna from your second list but the above is still true in that it is better if there is a meaningful connection.I know of someone who has changed their name five times and is now confident that their final choice is.........'final'.

My male name is Ciaran (Keer-awn)the gaelic version of Kieran(Keer-n) I first chose Ciara because I liked it and it was just the letter 'n' short of my birth name.....a perfect fit it seemed to me.When I came out to family 19th Nov last I unwittingly encouraged them to call me Ciara which most of them did.I realised pretty quickly that I was not comfortable with this,it was much too soon.They started calling me Ciaran again which I am happy with as of now.

Because of this I feel the name Ciara to be slightly damaged in my mind.I may or may not change it at some point down the line.

I had to change the spelling for Transpulse as Ciara was already taken.

All this Transgurl to say there are no hard and fast rules.We have the luxury of getting to change our name as often as it takes to find the right one.I hope you find your 'right 'one soon......sure you will.

Love Keera

I do agree that changing your name should be to a name that resonates with you and that "you" accept as your identity. With that being said, I did vote on a name, if for nothing other than for you to be able to narrow your options a bit. I was able to use the first 2 letters of both my first (Mi) and last (St) names to choose my name. It also helped that I absolutely love the name Misty. For me though, I wanted an untraditional way of spelling it, so I swapped the i and the y around. I made it my legal name 3 years ago and haven't had an ounce of regret in my choice. 

Make your name something that you love. Your name is still a reflection of you and your identity.

I agree with those saying that your name is personal and should be something that makes you feel like it's a natural fit. That being said... Grace made both of your lists, and I have a granddaughter named Grace, and niece with Grace as a middle name. They're both in their early twenties so it seems to be a popular name.

 

You be you,
