name?

So names are a fun topic. I currently go by Finn with a few people, but it doesn't feel right. I brainstormed a good bit and finally have a list. My top three are James, nickname Jamie, Caspian, nickname Cas, and Samuel, nickname Sam. Then the other ones are Nico, Haru, Braeden, Keir, and Jack. I wanted a "general name" but also something to deal with water or space. I really like Caspian for that reason, its a water related name. It's just weird to talk about it with my friends. Any advice?

You wanna pm me and send me a picture of what you look like? It'd help a lot!!

Since you seem to have picked a few you consider top choices, maybe try giving each of the names (or nicknames) sometime when you get a coffee?  It'll give you a chance to see how it feels to be called by the different names and maybe help you pick which one feels right.

So I've done a lot of experimenting, and I've decided on Jaxson. I've had a lot of my friends tell me it fits a lot better than Finn does, and taking into consideration my personality it fits better too. I'm still really struggling with not being able to come out, and I can't wait to just start transitioning already. It's unbelievably hard to think that I can't be who I am for two more years, but I'm holding on

Good choice!  The right time will present itself and you'll be comfortable to come out.  ...And you will because you've had time to read, learn and talk with others.   The time will fly by.
