    So I go by Jake for now, and I'm happy with it, and I'm probably going to stick with it for a while and see how I feel.

    However I'm also looking into other possible names, and maybe an opinion or two. Does anyone have other suggestions for more masculine/guys' names? (Gender neutral could be okay as well, though I'm looking a bit more into guys' names for now)

    And sort of an additional thing, what name do you maybe think suits me...and what do you think about the name I'm using right now?

    Thanks so much everyone. Means a lot (*hug*)

    Jake is a good name. I could list more boys names if I knew what you were looking for, like if culture/religion/certain sounds are important to you. There's this Tumblr: Your Identity is Valid which will put your name and pronouns in a sentence. Some popular masculine names are Ethan, Caden, Mason, Aiden, Benjamin, Jaxon/Jackson, Alex. But it really depends on when you were born.

    Jake comes across as very happy and friendly, so I could add:
    -Johnny
    -Rupert
    -Jeremy
    -Tommy
    -Louis/Louie
    -William
    -Jonah
    -Toby
    -Marco
    -Walter

    If it's the fact that it's a short name that you like, there's also:
    -Tate
    -Nate
    -Nick
    -Luke
    -Max
    -Dean
    -Ross
    -Rex

    Maybe that'll be some help, I don't know..

    Personally I think Jake is a pretty cool name, but I may be biased there. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I thought of the name Andy first.
    grant
    Robert
    Luke
    Cameron
    Zac
    Rhyder
    Dylan
    Henry
    Landon
    Garrett
    Sam
    Charlie

    But it all really depends on what you want. Either way, any name you pick will be awesome.

    I think it's a great name. It's a bit like picking a baby name. You search and search and then a name clicks. Try it on for a while and see how well it fits.
    I will throw another name out there, simply because I like it and didn't get to use it

    Jaxzyn. Pronounced Jackson. I just love the spelling lol.

    Thanks so much to all of you! Got some pretty nice suggestions and I'll note them down in my list (yes I do keep a list on my phone...:lol:slight_smile:

    Jake seems good for now so I'll stick with it for the time being. It feels nice. But it's great to have some other ideas too. Thanks again everyone (*hug*)

    MissNicole thank you so much for the list of names! And to all of you: it really means a lot. Honestly I don't have any preference at the moment for sounds/meanings, I'm just seeing what works and figuring things out. So really all of the suggestions have been helpful.

    Time to write down a few more on my list.

    No a problem at all ^.^
    I feel lucky that I've always known I was a Nicole, I created the original character 8 years ago. And now I'm up to 98 characters xD

    Try this website, it's brilliant! It's how I found my name!

    Baby names like Jake

    Just excuse the 'baby names' thing. Apparently all websites containing names have to be for babies because adults never change their names (!)

    Good one :thumbsup:

    I love it. :lol:

    Thanks for the link. I'll take a look! And yeah, I've spent a substantial amount of time on baby name websites to be honest...easiest place to find names!
