I've always felt like I'm both genders but I have a problem: I hate my name!! My birth name is quite feminine and there are times when people call me it and I feel SOOOO angry and frustrated :bang: But I don't want to mention it because I'm still closeted, I've only told two ppl who are my BFF who are part of the LGBTQ community. If I say anything, then my mum might suspect something. When I was younger (like REALLY young, 4 or 5), I would always tell people not to call me my name. I'd start getting really frustrated, my mum would just laugh and joke about it. Now she just says it was a phase (God, I HATE that line!! :*** Anyway, I just wanted to ask if anyone knows any names that can be used for both genders that I could tell my friends to call me. Also, how I could deal with my frustration when people use my (feminine!) name. Please help!!! :help: Bye! :smilewave
You could try searching for unisex names, there's a lot that apply to both genders, like Jordan, Jamie, Casey, Avery, Robin, Alex, Sydney, Taylor, Morgan, etc.
Thanks for that site, I've been thinking of a new name...one which could address my male and female sides! ---------- Post added 28th Jul 2014 at 09:53 PM ---------- Blythe is a very cute name :3 Just saying hehe
"Anyway, I just wanted to ask if anyone knows any names that can be used for both genders that I could tell my friends to call me." You could use the website above and type in your name... there are a lot of abbreviations and related names given... maybe you could even use a part of the name... Do you have another first name ? Or you might use a short name with the same first letter. Jay for example is often used as abbreviation for names starting with J... and is used both for boys and girls...
I really like the name Robin, this name and my name both begin with R and...it sounds awesome!! Thanks everyone, I've found my name!!! I think I'd rather spell it with a Y instead of an I: Robyn YES!!
I went through a name selection for myself too. You could go with a nickname/initial type name as I did (A.J.) and then just come up with meaningful but feminine/masculine names for either letters. (Mine was a bit easier since I was still using the first letter of my cis-name. A.J.= Aster James. -Aster sounds neutral but its also the name for a flower which are typically symbolic of femininity. -James for my masculine side :]) I wish you luck on your name search! :3
