Picking a name!? (trans related)
 
So, i am ftm trans and want to start opening up a little more than i have ever with peoplebut before i do i want to get some ground laid. I kinda need a masculine name, something that isnt unisex or my birth name: arielle. Any ideas?

Re: Picking a name!? (trans related)
 
Do you want something that's similar to your birth name?

Personally I like:
Anthony (Tony)
David
Marcus (Marc)
Michael (Mike)
Nicholas (Nick/Nico)

*as you can see I like nicknames lol

Not. Too similar. My current nickname/pnumonic divice for saying my name is Relff but i dont like it as a reall name. I like mark. But that doesnt work, mark kohls is weird.

Either. Something that sounds good with kohls (sounds like coals).

Aaron, Carl, Christopher, Richard, Derek... In my head those ones sound good with Kohls. Just don't choose Alex. That one's mine. :p

The first name that popped into my head was one of my favorites. Lyric.

RelFf May 28th 2010 02:58 AM

Re: Picking a name!? (trans related)
 
HOW is that pronounced? like the noun Lyric? or is the Y longed similar to the "long" I sound? like in Ice..?

Im M to F so i might be to much help. But 1 problem is the name HAS to suit YOU. If youre not got going to be completey masculine, dont choose an overly masculine name. Youre prone to over combinasting your masuclinaty(i know i do it with my fem) so heres some names i think.

Josh(had to get it in there)
Julian(Jules for short)
Bill(William, billy)
Petter(not my fave xD)
Kane
Chris
Rhys(welsh name)
Adam
Luke
Mathew
Jacob
Jack
Sometimes to help yourself reply to a name its better to choose one starting with the same letter. This also helps other people accept your name. I didnt do this, so i cant make you xD also i have a problem with taking another persons name, make sure theyre ok with it if you do so. My freind wasnt so ok xD

Re: Picking a name!? (trans related)
 
James (Kohls) , Daniel (Kohls), Sebastian (Kohls) , Stephan (Kohls) , Nathan (Kohls), Tristan (Kohls). Just some I like, that also sounded good with Kohls. =)

Re: Picking a name!? (trans related)
 
Are there any names you've always liked, or always felt you had a connection with?? I think you might be able to know the right one when you see it, it'll just feel right. The others have given good suggestions though.

Try Jared Kohls... Or maybe Riley, Mason, or Austin...

So what draws you to these names? my name Sophie Just feels right.

Yeah abott sounds right to me but so does giacomo maybe ill use both: Abott Giacomo Kohls. How does tha tsound?

Re: Picking a name!? (trans related)
 
That has a nice ring to it, actually! I like it a lot!

How is "Giacomo" pronounced? Is it "gee (as in "geezer")-ah-como (like the Spanish word for "how")" or "jee (as in "Jesus")-ah-como"? Or something completely different? Either way, I like the sound of Abbott Giacomo Kohls. :)

Re: Picking a name!? (trans related)
 
Jack-a-moe : its french hence the goofy spelling: Giacomo. But also the "j" sound is more of a j and an sh added together sometimes described as a zh(z+sh) sound.

RelFf May 31st 2010 01:54 AM

Re: Picking a name!? (trans related)
 
OOps sorry its italian not french he (giacomo casanova) is from venice italy.

Ohh, okay! I know exactly what you mean about the "j" sound. I still really love Abbott Giacomo Kohls. :) It has a nice ring!

Re: Picking a name!? (trans related)
 
I'd say go to some baby naming sites and look through the names till you find one you like, the best baby site I go to is www.babynames.com try that, just look through some and you'll find one :)

Re: Picking a name!? (trans related)
 
Since the OP seems to have chosen a name, I'm going to go ahead and close this. PM me if you want it re-opened. :)
