In Sweden, Ester is really comon for girls born in the 2010s. So when I hear the name Ester I think of a little child who likes crayons. Or I think of someone who’s really jewish.
A. I was never more honored than when my trans kid chose the name they would have been named if assigned another gender at birth ❤️. Thank you for your messages!!!
I suspect I’ll be making content on and off throughout my life, but when it feels good and fun to me, I’m really happy to be able to share things that help others!
Since about a year ago my name is Ryn. I followed exactly none of these tips haha, but I'm very happy with my pick, and other people have also only had positive comments about it :) My tip is experiment with DnD character names. See how it feels to be called by that name by the people you know in-game. You can do this before coming out, even.
Also if you like those sorts of fantasy sounding names, check out some names from Ireland, Scotland and Wales! Some Welsh ones I love are Celyn, Carwyn, Morgan and Morwen
At first my name was Rawan, which is a feminine name in Arabic. I've changed my name to Riley which means courageous as I am now a non-binary. Your video legit helped me so much 🤠👍
I just started trying out a new name so it's feels like such a coincidence to see this! I'm nervous to use my new name publicly so if anyone else is in the same boat, try asking just your closest people to use it to see how you like it or sign off journal entries with your new name for even more privacy 😊
I love this idea! I feel awkward about all the names I like such as Zayne or Aaron but I keep finding cute names that I just really like such as Kai. I quite like Kai ngl.
What's up: I scheduled the consult for my next GCS, finally! I don't like my name but I don't feel like any *other* names speak to me.. that's a tough spot.
I was there for a realllllyyy long time. In fact, I didn’t even ~dislike~ my name, I just felt neutral about it. And then eventually I decided I deserved more than feeling neutral about something that I had to hear and see every day. But it’s really up to each person, and what is going to make them feel okay. It’s okay to keep an ear to the ground for the right name, and to be comfortable with the fact that it might not come.
@@AWylde Thank you so much, maybe neutral is a better word to describe how I feel. The thought "I deserve more than feeling neutral" is one I'm going to keep in mind moving forward. 🖤 to you!
for me i took 3 letters that sounded pleasing wrote letters like v, z, x, i, l, k, k. i picked vowels like e, i, o, u. and shoved them together and now my name is vio :)
My name is Isabela, and although it's a gendered name in my country (and most countries as well) to me, my nickname (Bela) sounds neutral enough because it's me and I feel so neutral. I don't know how to explain, but that's how I feel about it, and that's why I don't feel like changing it
I'm happy to have found my own knew name. Idk if you remember AbiROAR from back in the day. But my nombinary self chose the name Ashton. I've been using it exclusively for almost 2 years now. It feels so good! Love this video! I did many of these things to find my name. The thesaurus idea is brilliant! I hadn't thought about that. Great stuff!
I missed you and your videos! They have helped me a lot in the process of discovering my gender identity. I feel like this one is going to help a lot of people, too. Thank you!
I'm between Nova, Mist, and Storm. I was born with a rare feminine name, and I grew an attachment to it because it resonated with me and being powerful, but I have been growing weaker between it.
Im non binary and I’ve known this since I was 10 ( I’m 14 now) and I’m not out to my family and most of my friends, they are all calling me by my birth name and I really want to change it so me and my gender fluid friend are trying to come up with names for me and I found one I really like ( the name is Kai )and they have been using that name when referring to me and it makes me so so happy. And i am planning to come out to my family soon and I’m so scared. And I’m worried they will not except me and they won’t let me change my name. my profile name is actually my birth name but I have it written like that because it’s kind of in a mocking way. And also so my parents don’t find out before I am ready to tell them.
Tip from a person who already chose their name: Name yourself after a fictional character. One with a human name. I legit named myself percy after percy jackson
When I was born my parents said "Oh she's a girl! so we can call her Nora!". Well, I'm not a girl, I'm non binary, so... I changed to Noah, becuase why not? I really like my new name :]
I really wish Róisín-Quynh was gender neutral because I LOVE it but both are feminine names... Which I guess is fine since I still identify as female but I wouldn't be able to find enby names that mean what I want them to mean... which is probably why I like Rose. It's feminine sounding but people still assume I'm male online LOL
I actually get scared when I say my non-binary name when ever adults ask me because I’m scared they’ll get angry at me and tell me to use the name I was born with so I go by “Mai” or my real name even though I don’t want to please tell me what to do when it happens 💜🖤💛🥺
My birth name is Esther and a friend came out with this nickname "THERO" because it is more gender neutral. They are so sweet, although I'm not sure if it suits me.
Haha, I am a demigirl and I mostly identify as non-binary and realized I am not comfortable with my current very feminine name, Omaima, so I like to be called Sky now! It's different from my old name but I like it a lot. Thank you so much!
I had a few names I considered, but ultimately decided against in relation to what my parents were going to name me and centered around my birth name. They just didn't fit me. And my parents would pick on me too much for Pacen (I pace all the time), so that's a no go no matter how many times they joke they should have named me Pacen. I ultimately decided on Morning Cyannide, which sounds crazy, but hear me out. 1. I go by whatever shortened version people wanna call me (Morning, Cyannide, Cyann, Morning Cyann, Morn, MC, Cy, Cya, Mor, Morn Cy, Mo, etc.). 2. Both have significance and I like them together and I like them both and didn't want to choose. 3. Cyannide actually comes from my middle name given at birth, which is Cyann. The reason I went with Cyannide and not just Cyann is because my dad got the name Cyann upon seeing the word cyanide, which I think is cool. So anytime I told anyone I was Cyann, it came with the story of how I was named after cyanide, because I felt it was an important part of the name and I think it's cool. Thus, I thought, why not go all the way so I don't have to tell the story all the time? I kept the extra N, because that was also an important part of the name. 4. Morning comes from sort of the self-insert character/persona I created for myself in daydreams and lucid dreams when I was, like, 10. There's lots of complicated lore around it, but Morning was more of a title gained through my accomplishments, abilities, an personality in the world I had created than a name. My true name in this world was, wouldn't you know it, Cyann. So I was Morning Cyann. Now, how titles and names work in that universe is that you would publicly go by your title and share your name with those you were close to. One of my best friends at the time and now one of my QPPs ended up joining in on my fictional adventures in this alternate reality, and so I've technically been going by Morning Cyann with him sice I was 12 (I'll be 22 in June). It is important to not that in this "realm", I was a magical shapeshifting light dragon elemental thing from a genderless society where everyone was asexual and arospec (I'm apothi aroace agender). It should also be noted that a lot of people are confused about it because I'm a night owl, but that's actually another contributing factor to the name because that meant that I was in this other world in the morning most often. As such, I felt like this persona is and was a reflection of who I wanted to be and who I deep down knew I was. When I was Morning Cyann was the only time I could truly be myself, and I'm ready to be myself outside of just my head. On top of that, mornings represent new beginnings. So I just felt it was a significant part of my identity. 5. I feel like the name Morning Cyannide is pretty androgynous. 6. In professional situations, I tend to either stick to Morning or Cyann, especially since I live in a conservative state. 7. I like that people are able to come up with unique things to call me.
My legal name is Emily, but I HATE how feminine it is. I’ve been going by E online because it’s easier, but I don’t feel called to any other names. It’s also hard because I’m an academic so my name is already on research publications. So I “need” (want to) stick with E as an initial. I’ve been considering changing my middle name and going by that though. Any recs much appreciated! I’m GNC and seeking something that honors that.
"Elliott" is a genderneutral name with "E". I think "Eden" is considered neutral too, I'm not sure on that one though. I know someone who just goes by "Em", like the first syllable of "Emily".
Hello, i am a trans guy and rn, i am going with the name Mew, which i connect to in so many ways, example: my old cat was called Miez and i translated that into the english language and got mew. One of My favorite pokemon is called mew and i just relate this name to some adjectives i like. Tho, many people see it as a Fem name, but i see at as a gender neutral name
So my birth name is Sam. I know it's already for all genders, there is something about me being called by the name that sends shivers down my spine. Asking for advice on either accepting my name or replacing it.
My name started with a "J" And I didn't mean for my new name to be the same. My name hit me like a brick in the face. I heard it, and I was like "shit... this is my name, isn't it?" And I toyed around with it for a bit, and no matter how I used it, it was *right* So I think I hit the lottery on that format since my name went from "J_____" Too "Jay" IT LITERALLY JUST SOUNDS LIKE THE FCKIN LETTER-
Oh thank you so much for this video! I love the Ester reference too! After accepting you are non-binary/gender fluid it is so fun to pick out names for yourself! Although the hard part after that is narrowing them down though.
I am so glad this worked out for everyone! Oh what you wanna know about me? Oh I haven't had any luck yet and am kinda starting to give up after everyone says a feminine name suits me more even though that is the last thing I want- the point of me changing my name is so I won't have something linking me to my birth gender- but ig no one sees me as a they/them just a she/her 😔
i want to name myself count contessa (first name count first middle name contessa second middle name and last name) cause not only am i genderfluid it is part of my original name and i am goth. when i told my mom she said it hurt her that i would want to change my name and that it isnt even a name and that im just giving myself a title however she is the one who named me contessa and i pointed that out to her and she repeated it saying contessa is a name count is not then when i wanted to drop it cause she started screaming at me that i would regret it. she told my dad as i told her not to yet. i had thought keeping my original name in my name would be enough. and shes wondering why im the one crying when she should be. idk im just here cause i dont know what to do. she said she wouldnt help me or call me by any other name. i really dont know what to do. she said she was fine with me being genderfluid although she mentions my afab ness a lot and i never pushed it for years. this was the first time i pushed it. and while im in my 20s i am living with them to help them since there disabled
I chose to call myself Ariel but only my psychologist and two friends know it, one supports me and the other told me that only men and women exist...:( I am agender
I liked my birth name but when I realized I was agender i felt like it was too feminine and didn't fit me anymore. so I go by Angel now 0:•> my family still doesn't call me by that name though ._.
My family doesn’t call me by my chosen name either and it kind of sucks. Probably could make a whole video about that :/ Bummer that it’s relateable for you!
I'm finally able to choose a name myself one that I like instead of one forced on me. I always hated my name. But every time I think I've landed on one I keep changing my mind..
Yeah I like the second tip cause my name is Kim and I'm fine with that name but I'm genderfluid so when I feel more like a guy I like going by Kam short for Kameron (possibly will go by Kameron in the future) instead of Kim
I’m not sure if your still reading comments, but I need some help. Is Vivian too feminine to be my new name? I heard that it used to be a boys name, then unisex, then almost exclusively female (which reminded me of genderfluid, my gender). I’m afab so I feel like I shouldn’t change my name to something else “girly”.
My name was Emma and I have chosen Emmet. To me it seems androgynous, both slightly feminine and slightly masculine which is perfect for me. It also rhymes with "ribbit" and yup I like frogs cos my favourite colour is green. I think cute and goofy are words that describe me well so Emmet feels perfect :)
