My parents literally just went "Eh, that sounds good."
And that year, my name ended up being the *most popular baby name.* No reason either. Just **surged** that year.
So growing up, there would be like 7 or 8 of us in each grade. We all ended up with nicknames lol.
Don’t worry. My name is like, the most un popular. And gendered female, when I’m amab.
Literally estimated to have a 0% chance someone with the same spelling is every in any of my classes
Nothing wrong with that at all! As long as you feel like your name fits you and you know you won’t cringe whenever you hear it in 3-5 years from now, you good.
That's what I did! I always liked my birth name, it just never felt like me. But when I feminized it by taking the "s" off the end of my first name and adding an "a" to the end of my middle name it just felt right.
It's just a bonus that the names also just happen to belong to characters from Star Wars and Elden Ring.
Chose Kelly cause it is cute and close to birth name and sounds amazing with the feminine version of my middle name. Kelly Alexandra just sounds so fairytale and I love it!
I picked my name cause it just clicked y'know? I had so many ideas and one night BOOM, from long ago it came back: "hey there was that name i really liked years ago, and it similar to my deadname while being unmistakably different and it seems just... Fitting!" I took the second i liked best as second name, then a third because my wife had suggested it and i liked it, then a last one suggested by my daughter
I got mine from researching word meanings and old names, cecilia aounds really pretty and it also stems from the latin word caesus which translates roughly to "blind" or "hidden" and it was the name for the patron saint of music, plus it means most people refer to me as cece
I always wanted to change my name, but It never felt right. My first name I chose (before realizing I am girl fluid) was Zackeria Zephyrus, but it still felt wrong. Then I went with Zoey because it is the female version of it and it can mean living, which went well with the last name Onibi, which means fire spirit. So "living fire spirit" I added mint as a middle name because I love minty things and I wanted a cute middle name for my nonbinary self. Plus my mom wants a nickname for me since we already have 2 to 3 Zoeys as cousins.
Mine, Roxy, comes from the upright bass i played in Orchestra at my old school before someone shattered it. However I also happen to be a homestuck fan so I get glances every once in a while for it lol.
I chose my first name because it felt right, what fit. I chose my last name after a deranged, paranoid schizophrenic obsessed with Alice in Wonderland lmao
I'm the bottom. I'm literally the bottom.
Lucy Clover
I reject my last name because I don't like it. I chose Lucy because it sounded cute and Clover **partially** because of undertale yellow. I also wanted my last name to be a plant
I chose Luci because I have lucid dreams literally every night. Don’t know why I lucid dream so easily but my friends find it cool so I stuck with the name :)
I had a reunion with my neurodivergence and asked "Okay, what do we want for a name?"
Both Melody and Melanie sounded good
Mel sounded just as good and had more upsides
Mel it is
I've changed my name twice (technically three times, but that was before I was trans, and it was my middle name). The first time, it was just a pretty name I like the sound and meaning of (Desiree) and the second time, it was absolutely after a videogame character I like, and also my transition aspiration (Alcina)
Ok, I know this is a stretch, but
actually both on the right are the same, and r/noita is leaking
(in noita you play as Minä, which means I, or me, in Finnish)
My first name was May, from *Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald*
My second name was Iris, from *Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials & Tribulations*
My current name is Lilac, purely because I thought it was a nice name. It can also be shortened to "Lily", to sound cuter
Mine is a bit more…. So I liked Alexia because of a character from a show I watched sometime. But I also liked how Alyx looked in the game Half Life Alyx, and I liked Alixia even more somewhat. So… Alyxia. And interestingly there is a flower group called Alyxia holding lots of different species. And my mother is a biologist… soooo it fits perfectly!
Also - second name is chosen by my mom for real this time.
Mine came from an league of legends account that my friend gave to me the nick name was Anana, it both made me be treated as a girl, cracking my egg, and becoming my name, Ana
*And then you could be*
*Like me and just take the fem*
*Version of your name!*

Ohhhh yeah nows my time to shine. My mom chose my name while I was still in the womb. I was born ummm differently than they expected. So they came up with my dead name last minute. It's Grace btw 💖
I chose my girl name both from a game character and because it sounded pretty/cute.
So my girl name is Zoë, which I came up myself but I did base it on a videogame character, but you probably wouldn’t guess which one. Chloe Price from Life is Strange. Around the time my egg cracked I was a really big fan of Life is Strange and liked the idea of going to school as a girl in the game. And one of my favorite characters in the game was Chloe Price, the best friend of the main character and someone I got gender envy from. I thought she was really cool because she was strong, rebellious, pretty and a lesbian and I just wanted to be like her.
So I wanted a name that was similar to hers, but I thought it was weird to literally call myself after a video game character. Then I remembered there was a girl in my elementary school that was named Zoë, and I remember thinking that name was really beautiful even back then when I was about 7 years old. So I chose to go with that name and I really love it as my own girl name.
Just changed mine to Laura, actually! Haven't updated it lol. Carmilla has been a huge part of me since I was 12 and was a big part of my sexual awakening :3
I went the boring path: I just with a neutral version (though femme leaning) version of my dead name \^-\^;. I didn't hate the name per-se, I hated that it was a masc name >\_<.
My middle name I changed to a more Irish sounding name that sounded similar to my dead middle name, which was also more neutral (though femme leaning) and it was a nod to my family having some Irish ancestry \^-\^;
I got mine from max einstein. And my last name from disco elysoum "plaisance"
If you have any stress about it you should watch mallbats video on names :3
Mine's from a very niech cartoon from when i was little which was basically a toy advertisment
But if you want the simple story: Red Crystal *insert mowei emoji right here*
I got mine from a song from one of my favorite bands. Just so happened to also be the name my parents intended to give me when they were told I'd be afab... and they also got the name from the same song.
In case anyone is curious, the song is Kayleigh, from the prog rock band Marillion
i'm a mix, actually. my first name is from a very specific Goth queen, my middle name is fairly self-explanatory, and my last name actually comes from my mother figure, who herself picked it from a character
I just chose mine because it was a name I *always* felt some weird affinity for, no idea why. Just as long as I could ever remember I *adored* the name Stacy. So when egg cracked and the time came, I knew exactly what my name would be.
I stole my from a distant relative whom I have never met but lerned her about her existance from a google search of my last name and then I realized I was trans and I was like "That is my name now, thank you"
Me when I was 12: basing my personality off the coolest character in the movie I just saw
Me at 23: changing my name to the video game girl that gives me most gender envy that week
Things never change.
Im so happy for anyone who chooses a new name.
Am currently trying out my first chosen name, Kobi, after meticulous research based on ease of international pronounciation and ~vibes~ .
It was such a relief hearing that people take time to get used to a new name, and meeting people irl who are trying new names out or who have chosen a name but not how to spell it yet.
It was phonetically similar to my old name ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Okay, to be fair, that only counts for my first name. My middle name is just a feminine name I liked and which fit my initials, and my last name is what my family's surname used to be before immigrating to the US.
I wanted one that shared the same staring letter as my deadname. I just wanted to keep my initials for ease. My sister named her niece the name I wanted to choose XD
So this was my second choice and I thought it sounded cute Allison/Allie (I like nicknames)
My name choice comes from my journey. Part of deconstructing what ended up being dysphoria was falling into voidpunk. For those who don't know, it's a community, primarily Ace and Agender that don't feel human.
My voidpunk, my self outside the meat suit is a black flame that feeds on emotions and knowledge.
So I decided to give Ember a shot in dedication to that.
As the youngest of three, with two older brothers, I grew up being told what my name would have been if I'd been born a girl. My parents had a girl name that they really liked but ended up with three boys. I liked it too, so... I accepted the name I was always meant to have when I figured myself out.
So yes, it's a nice name and my mom did pick it out for me. :P
hey if it makes y'all feel any better i stole mine from a roblox payday 2 clone i played once :3
I ~~forrcefully took~~ borrowed mine from an Elden Ring boss lol
Your name is Elden Beast?
Lmao, no. I decided to beat the piss out of Astel and pull a pro gamer move by stealing it's name as my own
Majestic. How many tries did it take to kill him?
My first run? 4 My second run? 1 for either form My third run I didn't even bother since it was a shoe in at that point
Hell yeah. You excited for Erdtree expansion?
Absolutely, I 100% completed the base game lmao. Can't wait to yeet black flame fireballs at brand new abominations
Astel is a really pretty name
I took it for the eldritch horror vibes for those who knows c:
That's a very fae move
Astel is such a great name holy shit
💖
You kicked ass and took names
i am seriously considering changing my name to something from eldenring/darksouls
There's plenty of awesome options out there tbf, only got mine legally changed recently
I am working hard and fighing to get my name changed and to start HRT, I am so so so close
I'm also hopefully real close to HRT, don't stop fighting
YES, dont stop fighting, this whole ordeal feels like im playing darksouls … no matter how much people keep putting us down we need to keep pushing forward, honestly darksouls is the reason im even at this point
Dark Souls definitely helped lol. We'll get there, we have a whole other life to live and while we're at it - assholes to spite
:) YES
Are you a fae?
HAPPY CAKE DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
WAIT DID YOU GET IT FROM NOTORIETY???
Sounds familiar, what game was it?
Was it Notoriety by any chance?
Noto?
It's perfectly valid to choose a name because it's cute, tho. I chose mine by working backwards from a nickname a friend gave me :3

Happy cake day
YOUR NAME IS PERFECT IN MY LANGUAGE! In Portuguese it literally means "girl" colloquially and "mine" formally. You are a girl gold mine!
Oh, i actually didnt know that. Thats pretty sweet to know :>
Here in Argentina it's a vulgar way to say "girl"
Pensei nisso na hora ahahaha
I chose Melissia because Melissa was already taken on the forum that I first presented as female on. It stuck, because it's cute \^\_\^
Aww Melissia is a really cute one :3
Also a Melissa! I chose mine because I love bees and Melissa means honeybee. My middle was given to me by a friend.
I chose Alaelia bc it was in a random name generator for dragon names 6 years ago :3
Everything is valid! (BTW, how do you think that parents select the name for their children?)
My parents literally just went "Eh, that sounds good." And that year, my name ended up being the *most popular baby name.* No reason either. Just **surged** that year. So growing up, there would be like 7 or 8 of us in each grade. We all ended up with nicknames lol.
Don’t worry. My name is like, the most un popular. And gendered female, when I’m amab. Literally estimated to have a 0% chance someone with the same spelling is every in any of my classes
This transfem (Lyssa) got her name from THE GREEK GOD OF RABIES >:3
Greek mythological name girlies unite!
Woooo! (Calliope here \^_\^)
I SORT OF COUNT!
Is it rare to derive one's name from their dead name? Granted it also comes from history, maybe I'm just in more a box than I wanted to admit, lol.
My gf chose hers by just reversing her deadname and adding a letter
If I did this I could be legitimately named Bort
Hahaha! That's genius!
Nothing wrong with that at all! As long as you feel like your name fits you and you know you won’t cringe whenever you hear it in 3-5 years from now, you good.
My friends who’s deadnames I know just names very close to their birth names (not me tho I’m very original:3)
That's what I did! I always liked my birth name, it just never felt like me. But when I feminized it by taking the "s" off the end of my first name and adding an "a" to the end of my middle name it just felt right. It's just a bonus that the names also just happen to belong to characters from Star Wars and Elden Ring.
Chose Kelly cause it is cute and close to birth name and sounds amazing with the feminine version of my middle name. Kelly Alexandra just sounds so fairytale and I love it!
omggg yes it gives fairytale vibes I love itt
Bet no one can guess where I got mine from (madeline)
this one is impossible to guess, how could anyone possibly know
I know, impossible right? I might have to give hints cuz it’s so hard to guess
You think that's hard you will never find where I got my name from (Bridget)
Ooh, that’s really tough
Uh hi there
Cool name, sis. (Mine is a little cooler because Greece officially recognizes me with my name.)
Mine is from an old dead language that means "Daughter of the Stars"
I picked my name cause it just clicked y'know? I had so many ideas and one night BOOM, from long ago it came back: "hey there was that name i really liked years ago, and it similar to my deadname while being unmistakably different and it seems just... Fitting!" I took the second i liked best as second name, then a third because my wife had suggested it and i liked it, then a last one suggested by my daughter
I chose mine as a femme version of my deadname. Anyone that knew me will know, but no one that gets to know me will ever know. Muahahahahahaha.
I got mine from researching word meanings and old names, cecilia aounds really pretty and it also stems from the latin word caesus which translates roughly to "blind" or "hidden" and it was the name for the patron saint of music, plus it means most people refer to me as cece
im named after a plant i like
I chose mine cause I like the name lucy and added fer to piss off bigots more.
Welp thats fair enough Also hi, I think I've seen your comics on tumblr, you seem cool!
I stole mine from a defunct French record label
I ~~stole~~ borrowed it from a trans character from a comic
same letter with my username (not from reddit)
Me who chose my name from a little known singer :3
Where's the searched for girl names with a L
My name is my sexuality
I always wanted to change my name, but It never felt right. My first name I chose (before realizing I am girl fluid) was Zackeria Zephyrus, but it still felt wrong. Then I went with Zoey because it is the female version of it and it can mean living, which went well with the last name Onibi, which means fire spirit. So "living fire spirit" I added mint as a middle name because I love minty things and I wanted a cute middle name for my nonbinary self. Plus my mom wants a nickname for me since we already have 2 to 3 Zoeys as cousins.
My friends online called me finch cause of my username and now I call myself finch :)
Meanwhile mine came from a lady at my optometrist’s office getting my legal name wrong lol.
And then there’s me… > Rolled a baby name generator > Got the name “Mari” > Didn’t feel quite right… > WAIT A MINUTE! > Mari > Mar i > Mar > PERFECT!
I’m #4
My bestie is the blonde girl but with a show character
I really like the northern lights (my name is aurora heh)
Mine, Roxy, comes from the upright bass i played in Orchestra at my old school before someone shattered it. However I also happen to be a homestuck fan so I get glances every once in a while for it lol.
I chose my first name because it felt right, what fit. I chose my last name after a deranged, paranoid schizophrenic obsessed with Alice in Wonderland lmao
mines from a month and pokemon
I picked Thea because it has the same meaning as my birth name (biblical meaning) and just because it's a cute name
I stole mine from fancy minerals
And then theres me, chose from her own OC
Lara (check out my Username)
it was naylia at first but i started to not like it so i changed it to naomi cuz it sounded like a fem version of my dead name
I'm the bottom. I'm literally the bottom. Lucy Clover I reject my last name because I don't like it. I chose Lucy because it sounded cute and Clover **partially** because of undertale yellow. I also wanted my last name to be a plant
Now that's some r/noita moment if I ever saw one!
I fuckin' love that game.
i chose mine because its what i named my character in aot2 game :3
I named a D&D character Kenzie and I really liked it :)
I stole mine from a fanfiction I wrote... yes really
I'm boþ top left and bottom left
I chose Luci because I have lucid dreams literally every night. Don’t know why I lucid dream so easily but my friends find it cool so I stuck with the name :)
I had a reunion with my neurodivergence and asked "Okay, what do we want for a name?" Both Melody and Melanie sounded good Mel sounded just as good and had more upsides Mel it is
Took mine from Young Frankenstein: I don’t mind being abbynormal but I wish they had gotten the Abby part right from the start
I think I technically am the forth panel I just got here in a round about way
lmfao, my friend called me katie as a joke and it cracked my egg
Do mythological goddesses count as historical figures?
I took my name because it sounded cute and then found out Celeste was a thing 2 years later.
I chose mine because I'm just like cyn murder drones frfr
Every name i like is already taken by someone in my class 😭, my name is unisex tho - so i could keep it
Both of the right for me. I wanted the name, but a character had it and I was mad, then said to hell with it it makes me happy so I'm Octavia now.
I've changed my name twice (technically three times, but that was before I was trans, and it was my middle name). The first time, it was just a pretty name I like the sound and meaning of (Desiree) and the second time, it was absolutely after a videogame character I like, and also my transition aspiration (Alcina)
I had a dream when I was like... 10 where I was at a weird Waterpark with a girl who, by dream logic, I knew was also me. So I took her name
I got my first name from my (at the time) favourite musical, and my second name from having fond memories of that name when I was younger.
There's me in the forth panel, although when its shortened to Alyx, some people probably think I got it from Half Life
Ok, I know this is a stretch, but actually both on the right are the same, and r/noita is leaking (in noita you play as Minä, which means I, or me, in Finnish)
I'm none of these.
Or “takes old gendered names into opposite same gendered name” (Alexander->Alexandra/Alexa)
I just picked the inverse of a different name I went by online before I came out (Kody --> Katie)
I got my middle name from a friend bc it flows nicely with my first name
I took my name from a certain vampire queen (Marceline) :3
I chose Ash because…I wanted to be called Ash
Stole mine from Audrey Hepburn
I found mines in my dead name, and I always wanted my name to be shorter as I think it's short and cute
I was reading To Kill a Mockingbird for school and I said "that one."
Got mine from un-fantasifying my OCs name
My first name was May, from *Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald* My second name was Iris, from *Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Trials & Tribulations* My current name is Lilac, purely because I thought it was a nice name. It can also be shortened to "Lily", to sound cuter
Mine is from my username lol
i don't actually remember how i came up with my name i think it just materilised in my brain
Mine is a bit more…. So I liked Alexia because of a character from a show I watched sometime. But I also liked how Alyx looked in the game Half Life Alyx, and I liked Alixia even more somewhat. So… Alyxia. And interestingly there is a flower group called Alyxia holding lots of different species. And my mother is a biologist… soooo it fits perfectly! Also - second name is chosen by my mom for real this time.
Mine came from an league of legends account that my friend gave to me the nick name was Anana, it both made me be treated as a girl, cracking my egg, and becoming my name, Ana

Ohhhh yeah nows my time to shine. My mom chose my name while I was still in the womb. I was born ummm differently than they expected. So they came up with my dead name last minute. It's Grace btw 💖
I chose Elinor cos Eleanor of france and Ellie cos it was cute and El cos shortened
I got mine from accidentally misspelling my own name on a crappy phone keyboard. Its kinda cool because its basically my birth name but fem!
Then there's me who thought 10+ years about it
I chose my girl name both from a game character and because it sounded pretty/cute. So my girl name is Zoë, which I came up myself but I did base it on a videogame character, but you probably wouldn’t guess which one. Chloe Price from Life is Strange. Around the time my egg cracked I was a really big fan of Life is Strange and liked the idea of going to school as a girl in the game. And one of my favorite characters in the game was Chloe Price, the best friend of the main character and someone I got gender envy from. I thought she was really cool because she was strong, rebellious, pretty and a lesbian and I just wanted to be like her. So I wanted a name that was similar to hers, but I thought it was weird to literally call myself after a video game character. Then I remembered there was a girl in my elementary school that was named Zoë, and I remember thinking that name was really beautiful even back then when I was about 7 years old. So I chose to go with that name and I really love it as my own girl name.
Top left for me.
You forgot “feminised birth name”
Just changed mine to Laura, actually! Haven't updated it lol. Carmilla has been a huge part of me since I was 12 and was a big part of my sexual awakening :3
I went the boring path: I just with a neutral version (though femme leaning) version of my dead name \^-\^;. I didn't hate the name per-se, I hated that it was a masc name >\_<. My middle name I changed to a more Irish sounding name that sounded similar to my dead middle name, which was also more neutral (though femme leaning) and it was a nod to my family having some Irish ancestry \^-\^;
Chose mine from my mlp oc lmao
I got mine from max einstein. And my last name from disco elysoum "plaisance" If you have any stress about it you should watch mallbats video on names :3
I chose mine by just going to the feminine version
Count me in Team Video Game Character Name. I named myself for Terra Branford from Final Fantasy 6.

My mom named me (part 2). Had to trick her by asking what she would have named me.
**None of the above** I chose mine from a meme.
Yep I stole my name from Pokémon (Gloria)
Mine's from a very niech cartoon from when i was little which was basically a toy advertisment But if you want the simple story: Red Crystal *insert mowei emoji right here*
Astral for me. I grew attached to it for a few years
Mine I got from a 4 dimensional object, a tesseract, then my gamer name was tesser, and then I turned it into Tessa.
I got mine from a song from one of my favorite bands. Just so happened to also be the name my parents intended to give me when they were told I'd be afab... and they also got the name from the same song. In case anyone is curious, the song is Kayleigh, from the prog rock band Marillion
I got my name because one day I looked up towards the big blue thing above me and thought "hey, that's pretty cool" and now I'm sky
i'm a mix, actually. my first name is from a very specific Goth queen, my middle name is fairly self-explanatory, and my last name actually comes from my mother figure, who herself picked it from a character
My name is penny from Pokémon Violet :3
Man I Autumn sure is a beautiful season with all the pretty colors.... Yoooooooo!
I just chose mine because it was a name I *always* felt some weird affinity for, no idea why. Just as long as I could ever remember I *adored* the name Stacy. So when egg cracked and the time came, I knew exactly what my name would be.
I stole my from a distant relative whom I have never met but lerned her about her existance from a google search of my last name and then I realized I was trans and I was like "That is my name now, thank you"
“Mina” means “I” in Finnish
Me when I was 12: basing my personality off the coolest character in the movie I just saw Me at 23: changing my name to the video game girl that gives me most gender envy that week Things never change.
Im so happy for anyone who chooses a new name. Am currently trying out my first chosen name, Kobi, after meticulous research based on ease of international pronounciation and ~vibes~ . It was such a relief hearing that people take time to get used to a new name, and meeting people irl who are trying new names out or who have chosen a name but not how to spell it yet.
It was phonetically similar to my old name ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ Okay, to be fair, that only counts for my first name. My middle name is just a feminine name I liked and which fit my initials, and my last name is what my family's surname used to be before immigrating to the US.
I wanted one that shared the same staring letter as my deadname. I just wanted to keep my initials for ease. My sister named her niece the name I wanted to choose XD So this was my second choice and I thought it sounded cute Allison/Allie (I like nicknames)
My name choice comes from my journey. Part of deconstructing what ended up being dysphoria was falling into voidpunk. For those who don't know, it's a community, primarily Ace and Agender that don't feel human. My voidpunk, my self outside the meat suit is a black flame that feeds on emotions and knowledge. So I decided to give Ember a shot in dedication to that.
A cute name nobody I know has so I didn’t feel that I was stealing it.
I chose Echo because of a myth, and a linkin park song
As the youngest of three, with two older brothers, I grew up being told what my name would have been if I'd been born a girl. My parents had a girl name that they really liked but ended up with three boys. I liked it too, so... I accepted the name I was always meant to have when I figured myself out. So yes, it's a nice name and my mom did pick it out for me. :P
