    My real name is Kennedy but I don't know whether to change it or not. I like my name. I don't see it as a female name but when I transition I want it to go with my male gender. Would you consider Kennedy to be a male name too?

    I'd actually see it as more masculine anyway, and if you like it then I don't see why you shouldn't keep it.

    Hyper masculine name if you ask me. No need to change it! But if you wanted to create the distinction when/if you transition, then it wouldn't hurt to change it. Totally up to you.

    That is a nice, classy name. Quite masculine if you ask me.

    I assumed it was the male name you were going to choose :slight_smile: (meaning, sounds a good male name to me!)

    That's a really awesome name, imo. It's definitely more masculine than feminine.

    I've never even heard of Kennedy being a feminine name so you definitely got some good luck there. Also the shortened versions like Ken or Kenny are also really masculine.

    I like it. If you want to keep it that is awesome. A lot of people like to change their name even if it is unisex just to kind of distance themselves from their birth gender, but I imagine it would be way more convenient if you could keep the same name, so if you are comfortable with it keep it!

    I think that would be a cool name for a guy or a girl. And yeah you can go by Ken or Kenny.
