When i started therapy I was pressed to take a new name and in a hasty choice, I picked Noah / Noa, which despite the male significance, everybody reads it as "Noa", and with the 2 years letters I could update it to Noa later.


Sadly, right now it seems too male for me. I picked something neutral at a stage where I was pretty unsure about how far into transition I wanted to reach. Feeling fully female now, I am not interested in that one, although I now have documents, business card... You only get to change it once, and now I am quite unsure.

When I was ten, my mom told me I would have been named Amanda if I had been a girl; I really don't like it, though.
I've thought about being Kelsey, since I like the sound of it, and it's similiar to my birth name, but decided on Avery.
It just feels right somehow  :)

I have a character I named Avery.  She was born with wings, and so Avery sounding fairly close to Aviary just fit.

Needless to say I like the name too.  :)

Feather is 'veer' in Dutch, and I like the name Vera, so that's my choice. It sounds lovely in Dutch.
It's 4 letters just as my boy name, and I once read that we prefer the numbers and letters that we are familiar with. :)

Even since I was little, I hated my male name very, very much... I still do... And I was telling my parents that I hate it and that it's not my name. I was maybe about 6 years old, when my mother finally asked me: "Ok, what do you want your name to be?" And I said "Alex", which is short from Alexandra, but I was afraid to tell my mother, that I think I am a girl... I don't know where this name came from... I guess I heard it somewhere, sometime, and I subconciously had chosen it... But since then, I know and feel this is my name and very soon it will be written officially on my ID :)

I chose Harper because I originally had a list of about 6 names I liked and 'tried them on'. I found the six names on a baby name site, but picked Harper because it felt right and because of Harper Lee (who was a woman, which is funny since I'm going the other way).
