    So I recently came out to myself that I am trans (ftm). I just told a friend how ive been feeling today and im hoping to get my hair cut short on monday. I would like to try out a male name and pronouns to make sure I like it but I cant deceide on a name to try. So far ive got a list of:

    Nate
    Oscar
    Rhys

    Im not too sure how I feel about these names and I would also like some names beginning with E as my birthname does. If you have any ideas or suggestions for names or any preferences out of that list I would love to hear.

    Thanks

    Well, out of the list you've put up, all I'd say is that Oscar just sounds like the name of a cantankerous old man.

    Have you tried googling "names that start with e"? Baby naming sites are good for that kind of thing. :thumbsup:

    Out of your list, Oscar is my favourite because it make me think of Oscar Wilde.

    Some names I like beginning with E:
    Edmund
    Erasmus
    Ezra
    Ernest
    Elias
    Evander

    Thanks for all the ideas given. Ive narrowed it down to Elliot and Nate so now just need to deceide from these. I did like Evan but felt it was too close to my birthname and want to get away from that part of me. Thanks anyways though

    Nate Elliot sounds kinda spiffy imo, I really like it. But either sounds great on their own

    Between Nate and Elliot, I like the name Elliot more. However, you have to go with the name that feels right for you! Take your time, it'll come to you! :slight_smile:

    Yeah, go with whatever makes you happy. I have a really good friend named Elliot, and I think it's a great name. I don't personally love Nate as a name, but if you do that doesn't really matter.

    Elliot is a nice name.

    Nate is all right, but I do like Elliot more. I think it's because Nate is a one syllable name and I'm not fond of one syllable names... like mine. :tears:

    I like Nate more, but it's the name you have to keep and wear every day, so pick the one that fits you best!
