i kind of want a new name but its so hard to pick one. what name do i look like i would have?

I saw you and thought Brittney, but there are so many beautiful names in the comments too!

I'd call you Grace if you asked me to guess your name

How about Natalie?

oooooh i like that. i could be just like the best bob's burgers character

Ivy. That's what came to my mind. Good luck in your quest for a name.

I always name my female video game characters Cassandra for some reason, so that's the first name that came to mind.

You look like an Allison / Aly to me!

I thought this too before I came to the comments!!

Boring straight cis reporting in: I guess I knew it was a step in the process, but never really thought about the feelings part of choosing a new name for yourself. That's awesome! It's got to feel empowering. How far along the journey do most people get to that part?

Chelsea?

You look like a Sarah to me :) like you should be surrounded by flowers

We can all give you suggestions, but what names were you feeling? Those are the best names to choose from.

Elena?

I wonder if this is of any help... But sometime parents have names planned before the child is born, and they might have had thought of two. Have you asked them if you had a female name before your birth?

In any case... Damn, you've got style! And sorry I cannot be useful with directly suggesting names. My mother tongue is not English, so all names I'd intuitively come up with would be all weird for an English-speaker.

I wanted to do that, but when I tried to come out to my parents my mom started saying like "well my identity is having a son!!" so now im just pretending to not be trans around them

“well my identity is having a son!!”

My mom said that if'd been born a girl my name would have been Alice. I don't need it, so you can have it if you want

Wow.

Well as a dad, I hereby officially declare you as fine just the way you are.

It's ok to struggle as a parent with your kid's sexuality/identity if you don't fully understand things. It's NOT ok to make it about yourself and stand in between your child and happiness.

Tell your mom an internet stranger said "shame on you" and bonus points if you throw a handful of glitter in the air as you walk away.

Edit: Taylor?

Jesus christ how pathetic of your mom. hugs

...huh!

That is awful! You're seriously unlucky with your parents. But you've got so much strength in you to be able to ask these questions. And to answer to my comment.

Admirable!

Uff, sorry to hear that. Hope they will come around and educate themself a bit about you. Best of luck, Emma (?)

I really get a young Gillian Anderson vibe from your pictures, so maybe Jillian?

You're super pretty, wow!

Maybe Amanda? Sophie? Kayleigh?

Idk this is so random 😭

Sophie's pretty good, I don't really like eigh names and i feel like im the wrong generation for amanda. I'll definitely add sophie to my list though

Sophie/ Sophia came to my mind too, Emelyn (probably too French?) Somehow I could an Amy too? 😊

Kate/Katy.

Also, nice kitty. I demand more cat tax.

Ooh I'd spell it katie but I like that.

Here's roof cat

Irene?

Lindsay was the first name that came to mind. On the level of "If we met and you told me your name and my ADHD got the better of me and I forgot it as I often do. But then later that week someone asked me, gun to my head, what your name was. I'd take my chances with Lindsay".

I see a camera! Tell me more! Show your work! You have the attention of a lifelong devoted photographer.

Also, I’m Tanis, pronounced TAH-niss, and there needs to be more of me with that name in the world!

That's my Pentax P3.

I'm not a great photographer, but here are a couple of my favorite photos I've taken with that camera

You’ve got a solid eye for composition! Keep it up!

Brooke or Heather!

Chloe?

Hmmm, currently the top of my list already and people keep suggesting it. Definitely considering it

I think Kim would fit you.

Bridget?

Grace, because you are graceful.

Tiffany, but go by Tiff

Look like a Tara to me

What about Divona, it's the name of the Gallic goddess of sacred springs and rivers

Lucy

Emily? Elle? I say Elle because in the second picture you look like Elle Fanning, to my eyes at least. :) Cute berry vest :)

I like emily a lot, I feel like its maybe too much of a trans stereotypical name though. Elle is pretty good, I'll add it to my list

Ohhh I gotcha, it's a new world to me.. good luck :)

Lyta

Darla, Allison, Morgan

Theresa, Tess for short.
