Litten is so back now from dying

are there any relevant criteria? there are many names out there

fol claims another one

(personal opinion alert) i wouldnt rely on other peoples ideas for what your name should be if youd like another name, i feel that most of the time it loses the signifigance if its something someone else came up with. Take your time, try stuff out

I think it took me 2(?) years after figuring out i Wasnt Cis to find another name I liked that felt like me. And it took some time after rhat to actually tell people and get comfy with people using it

Theres no rush! Literally none! As long as you pick a name you like that you think fits you.

This is coming from someone who is also terrible at coming up with names for stuff (see my 3 dnd characters, 2 whose names i stole from a fantasy name generator list and 1 who I based off Sasha from amphibia, couldnt come up with a name for, and so i settled on Sasha LMAO)

at the end of the day the process is different for everyone and if suggestions help you find a name youd like then, by all means, go for it! You just also dont have to settle on a name immediatley, since i feel like ive seen multiple examples of a trans person finding out theyre trans, thinking they need to pick a name immediatley and so finding the first one thats ok, and then eventually regretting it and changing it to something else

But like, thats personal experience, and it doesnt always happen ofc. Sometimes u just know

With names, just try em out until you eventually land on one that you like

(Source: I have gone by several names before finally landing on one that I like well enough (it’s the only name I’ve gone through multiple times.)

Usernames are fake and as such can always be changed at any time though.

If you want to try out different names you can always switch ur username somewhere (for example, when i wanted to try out a name, i used it on a garrys mod RP server since people gotta refer to u by it and therefore you grt a lot of use out of the name)

I’ll give you one anti-suggestion tho, dont pick my name im the only one who can have it ty!!! (/s)

its a good bit except for the fact i suffer from “extremely common transfem name” syndrome

met someone at uni once who was like “oh wow! youre like the fourth person i met with that name, and you’re all trans!”

it was too true

I have no idea where my name ranks on the common transfem name list, but I don’t think that’s a list that has actually been made properly so like nya?

it sounds counterproductive to make one

But also

Names are weird and just slight bit cringe, in many regards it’s genuinely more honest to say that my name is Apo/Apocryphal, but there’s no way I would actually go by that irl
