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

Hmm..good idea.

      People who are out publicly, and openly transgender, maybe on HRT, having changed names and gender, have a lot to lose if anti-trans politicians take power.  They have openly called for our eradication, and promise to do everything they can to accomplish this.  (again, 2025) For someone in this position the election is about our survival.  It's foolish to delude ourselves into thinking "Oh, they don't really mean that.  It's all for show," or, "There's other more important things to concern ourselves with." Maybe for some people the other things take priority.  But if you have skin in the game, things look different.

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name. 
    • Vidanjali
      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Thank you so much April!

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.
