i looked up tamil names that start with the same letter as my deadname and picked from there

Shortened version of my deadname (childhood nickname), changed one letter to turn it into a traditionally male name. Would have been more creative but this is what was easiest for my parents

originally I was gonna go with the girl name my parents chose, then realized I was non-binary so I went with a color instead (it’s in the rules)

Well I was comfortable with my birth name (it’s gender neutral) and I wanted to change my middle name and looked at what month my lucky number was and boom

I named myself after my favorite gangster movie 😔 and then smushed my two middle names together to make one super long masculine one

Eh fair enough. My birth names TECHNICALLY gender neutral too but it’s like 90% of the time a boys name. And I want something more obviously feminine yk.

I am nowhere close to comfortable enough with them to ask that🧍 And besides part of my transition for me is forging my own identity outside of their influence (trauma stuff. My mothers quite manipulative) So I’d much prefer to come up with it myself lmao

Yeah I feel you also mine was just the day of the month I was born, it’s just like a gut feeling, like when you can choose a number for yourself what you go with

So, ig if your deadname has a fem/masc version (i.e. Victor or Victoria, Daniel or Daniella, etc) that would be a simple and easy route that could make social transition smoother if you’re worried abt that
