    So, I'm accepting myself as a transgender male...finally...

    I'm looking at some gender neutral and male names. I'd like to have my name settled or a smaller list of names before I come out. (I plan to come out in August when our neighboring town has Pride)

    Some names I really like are Avery (I know a guy named Avery), James, Aiden, Jake, Chase, Daniel, Dave, Zain, Taylor, Samuel, or Percy.

    Right now my name is really feminine. I'm looking for a first name and possibly two middle names. My last name begins with a C.
    I really need help on this

    From the names you listed, I really like the name Avery. As for names that aren't on your list, Alex and Skylar are also some gender neutral names that I really like. Honestly though, your name choice is up to you. Just take the names you like and see which ones would fit you well. There is no rush, so take your time. The right name will come. Good luck!

    It took me a while to settle on a name I liked, try one for a while, and if it doesn't fit try another. :slight_smile:
    Good luck.

    Skyler
    Jordan
    Riley
    Sam

    From the names you listed, I kind of like Jake.

    I think Jake and Chase suit you nicely. With gender neutral, the most I can think of are Cory, Bailey, Sam, Chris, Lee, and Harley.

    Try go for one similar to your original name. I went from Holly to Hikaru (bit of a change but not too much). But also go for one you like. Maybe ask your parents which they like too. Good luck!

    My name is if feminine to get a masculine or gender neutral name out of it. I think I may go with Samuel Chase

    I vote for Avery or Aiden. I think they suit you well.

    If you're looking for gender neutral suggestions still, Jesse's always a good option.

    Have you looked into baby name sites? You could also check the list of most popular names for the year you were born. Or ask your parents as a hypothetical question what they would have named you if you had been born male.

    I have been doing this myself. The only thing that I dislike is my mother would have named me Kyle [which as an GREAT name but not one I would want for myself simply cause my cousin's name is Kyle]. So I have been looking for names with the K or Ky sound in the beginning to go with my birth name.

    Good luck! I hope I helped.

    It's easier to start going by a name similar to your birth name but I think Spencer is a really great name :slight_smile: Samuel Chase is also pretty cool

    My mom already thinks I'm transgender....She isn't wrong but I don't see it as wise to ask her what they would've named if I was born a boy.... There's like a 99.9% chance it would've been Dennis however...

    oh my... I'm trying to avoid too many C names since my last name begins with a C.

    My first name is either Samuel or Spencer... So any help between those two?

    My middle name is going to be Chase though

    I like Samuel... You can use Sam as a nickname. Spencer is a great name too. Have you looked at the meaning of the names? Sometimes if you look at the meaning to a great name it turns you either one way or the other.

    A few gender neutral names I'ver heard in the past are Aaron, Jordan, and Taylor.
