Guest NeverSayNever

For a while now, I've been trying to decide on a name I can use for my male "side". There's quite a few that I like, and I'm not sure which one I like the best.

I'd post a picture to see which one suits me the most, but I haven't had my hair cut yet and I still look very feminine ¬¬

I have bright red hair (dyed) and I'm into the whole Goth/Punk thing. I'm quite a grumpy person sometimes (LOL) and I tend to get angry easily. I like anime and manga, reading and listening to music. I also love writing.

So, that's me in a nutshell, I hope that helps you understand what suits me the most.

I said Carl but that was a joke. I like Stephen, because that's the name I would have had if I had a penis when I was born. :(

I would have been called James.

Valtameri??? :mellow: Where did you get that one from?

LOL it's the Finnish word for "ocean". I named one of my character's it, from one of my books.

Thanks for voting, you two. :D

I voted for two: James or Edward.

If you were Edward, you could be called Ned, and you seem like a Ned to me. But James is also really good, too.

Hmmm.

I can't say which one suits you because I don't know you.

However, I'll tell you what each one makes me think and maybe that will be helpful.

Stephen- Nice. Makes me think of someone who's English.

Marquis- Nice. Also makes me think "ethnic". Since there are many african american males named Marquis. (Unfortunantly they never pronounce it correctly instead saying " mar-kese" instead of "mar-key")

Nicholas- Long time favorite. Reminds me of a polished man.

Carl- Don't do it lol. Makes me think of a man with a crappy job and bowling lol.

James- Always good, this was the name of my best friend. Spunky, funny, tempermental, popular , and phenomenal. A lot of people thought a lot of him.

Valtameri- Reminds me of Voldemort

Edward- Good in theory -or at least in sound- but, I've never known an Edward who was successful or things worked out for . Use caution possibly

Look for the inevitable nicknames that will evolve. That might help

Stephen (pronounced how it's spelt) = Steph (pronounced like it's spelled) - Steppy - Finny - Stephany

Marquis = Mark - Marky - Keister - Theater Sign

Nicholas = Nick - Nickie - Santa Claus

Carl = already a short name for Nicholus - Nickie - or Carlton the Doorman

James = Jim - Jammy - Jimmy - Jimbo - Jim-Jim

Valtameri = Val - Vaul -Vitamin

Edward = Ed - Eddie - Edwardo

I like James = combine it with a good second name

James Marcus

James LeMaire

James Petard

Just a few thoughts

Elizabeth Anne = Liz - Lizzy - Lizzette Antoinette

I laughed a LOT when I read that LOL

Thanks for all the voting, everyone. And I like all your reasons too.

@Lizzie - the Stephen one was the reason I was slightly put off, I really didn't want people to shorten it to Steph.

Each name has been voted for at least once LOL

The popular choice seems to be Nicholas. Why do people like that one the best? Is it just the name? Or do people like the sound of it?

Thanks for voting everyone!

Guest NeverSayNever

Right.

I've taken all your votes into account, and although Nicholas is the top choice I've narrowed it down to ...

JAMES or EDWARD

Link to comment

Use them both!

James Edward works and you have a middle initial for all of the forms that ask for it.

Love ya,

Sally

      happy trans birthday! I can't speak personally on the subject, but I hope hormones bring you the changes you're looking for <3 
    • MaeBe
      That’s super healthy, to see that something that becomes common has less effect on you and that you are able to decipher these feelings.   Sadly, this trend tends to only deaden good feelings as we tend not to let bad feelings attenuate the same way.   I have noticed less euphoria, but still feel the dysphorias that I have. Sometimes the good sneaks in and reminds me, but often time it’s just me seeing myself in the mirror and being comfortable about what I see when embracing my realized self. I may not get the same buzz I once did, but I don’t feel incongruous when looking at a more “drab” reflection.    Wishing you strength, you are amazing!
    • KayC
      Congratulations! and Happy Trans Birthday @LittleSam! That is such a BIG milestone.  I can still remember walking out of my clinic with my first HRT presciption.  I was on Cloud-9.  Wishing you all the best in the start of your new Journey!
    • missyjo
      maebe thank you I try to be. I thank God for blessings, try to share them, beg forgiveness for my shortcomings n vow to try to do better...2 priests have said no, God doesn't condemn you just for being trans...but apparently evangelicals do   I shall vtry dear thank you  
    • MaeBe
      Meet him at the being good to others part of Christianity. At the heart of it, there are excellent tenets of the faith. Those that condemn are judging, Jesus would have us be selfless; stone casting and all that. Are you a good person? Are you putting good into the world? If your gender is an issue for God, let God judge. In the mortal realm, let your actions be heard. 
    • missyjo
      and just fi sweeten it..I'm catholic n he hasn't been for years..he's evangelical..whatever that is
    • MaeBe
      Let’s stick to cite-able fact. Most of my posts have been directly in relation to LGBTQ+ rights as it pertains to P2025 and I have drawn direct links between people, their quotes, and their agenda. I have made reference to the cronyism that P2025 would entail as well, by gutting, not cutting, broad swathes of government and replacing it with “conservative warriors” (I can get you the direct quote, but rest assured it’s a quote). All this does is constantly force the cogs to be refitted, not their movement. To say that agencies have directly defied a President is a bit much, the EPA did what Trump told them to do at the direct harm to the environment, the department of agriculture did the same by enacting the administrations forced move to KC which decimated the USDA.      How about Betsy DeVoss for Education? Or Bannon for anything? What about the revolving Chief of Staff position that Trump couldn’t stay filled? Or the Postmaster General, who did much to make the USPS worse?   Let’s not mix politics with racism, sexism, or any other ism. Because Trump made mainly white, male, appointments—many of them not, arguably, people fit for service—or unwilling to commit to term. I can argue this because, again, he’s up for election and will do what he did before (and more of the same, his words).   Please delineate how the selected diversity appointments have negatively affected the US, other than being black, women, or queer? Representation matters and America benefits when its people are inspired and empowered.

      When I first started figuring things out, I got a lot more euphoria. Every time a friend would use he/they pronouns for me, I'd get this bubbly feeling, and seeing myself look masculine made me really happy. Dysphoric state felt more normal, so I guess I noticed the pain it caused me less.   Now, it's more just that my pronouns and such things feel natural, and dysphoria is a lot stronger -- I know what's natural, so experiencing the opposite is more jarring than everything. The problem is, most of my natural experiences are from friends, and I rarely get properly gendered by strangers, much less by my family. I've found myself unable to bind in months due to aches, colds,, and not wanting to risk damage.    It partially makes me want to go back to the beginning of my journey, because at least then I got full euphoria. I'm pretty sure it'll be like this until I medically transition, or at the very least get top surgery (you know all those trans dudes online with tiny chests? Not me, unfortunately). It's a bit depressing, but at least I know that, eventually, there's a way out of this.
    • RaineOnYourParade
      Major mood, right here ^^^    I've listened to Lumineers to a long time (a major portion of it by osmosis via my mom), so that is almost painfully relatable
    • RaineOnYourParade
      As for getting a button-up/formal pants suit, you can try to talk to her more -- Cis women in tuxes have worn tuxes in recent years, after all, (for example, Zendaya) so it can still be a relatively safe topic. For jumpsuits, I'd recommend going with a simple one with a blazer, if you can -- this'll make it look overall more masculine. There's a lot of good brands, but going for one without a lot of extra glitz on it will make it look less feminine under a blazer. I don't know many specific brands though since I usually just get my stuff from chain stores, sorry :<   When it comes to your hair, if you can't cut it, you can look up tutorials on fluffing it up instead. If you can pull it off, it can look a lot shorter and more androgynous instead!
