    Well, I'm biased ... :slight_smile:

    Still, they're all good names! My thought is that Sam is the only particularly gender-neutral name on the list, if that's what you're going for.

    They're also all "normal" names, which will give you an edge in your school/professional life in the future.

    Well, without knowing you or your personality at all, I picked Danni! For one thing I think it's a unique, pretty, and wonderfully ambiguous name, and for another, it translates well into katakana (since you seem to like anime).

    choose what feels best to you! and you can try out different names if you want, this choice does not have to be final. i like danni and sam because they are more neutral names

    Like others have said, pick a name you like best. Maybe try using out a couple different ones online, or if you eventually come out to a trusted friend see how you feel about them out loud.

    I like Sam and Danni though, more gender-neutral/ambiguous if thats something you wanted to take into consideration.

    Yeah I think I will pick Danni, I just seem to love the name more and fits amazingly with my shortened last name.

    Danni is a real nice name for both genders I think but I also like Ali.
    It's like a shortened version of Alex, which is my favourite name ever but a little more uncommon.
