I'm trans and don't want to name myself something stupid.
Hey everybody, I'm hoping you guys can help me pick a name.
I will be transitioning to male, and my current name is 100% feminine. If there was a man out there with this as a name, my condolences.
My last name is 3 syllables, very Irish, ends in -an. I'm in the US, born in 1994.
Names I like: - Kieran, but I'm worried that goes with much younger people. - I like most common Biblical names, like Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Isaac is solid, not feeling like an Ezekiel. - It would be nice to have an Irish first name, but it's not my hill to die on.
Names I can't use: - Ryan, my brother. - Patrick, my father.
Names I don't like: - I loathe names with gratuitous extra letters. - Not really feeling Charles or James, despite it being a common name in my family. - I tried looking up my genealogy through a website and I apparently have a great great uncle Cletus. Not feeling that at all.
To the name nerds willing to help, many thanks!
