I've been thinking about names and at first i liked Perry bc its one of the few gender neutral name that i even like a little bit. Also it has a cool meaning but i don't remember what that was any more. Also it kind of sounds like "Paris" in a french accent. but i've never really liked the name. It's just ok for a gender neutral name.
But then i actually like Tristan even though it's more of a male name but if you shorten it to Tris it reminds me of Tris from Divergent so I'd say it's more feminine but I wouldn't want to confuse people even more than they already would be when I come out so if i decide to come out with that name, should I say that Tris can be used as a nickname or should I just ask people to choose one based on what gender I seem to be presenting myself as most that day?
Or should I just keep looking for a gender neutral name I like?

Being non-binary and genderfluid for a good part of my voyage, I picked Noa/Noah since I was pretty unsure at the time. Once I moved forwards and gender fluid began dying (but still feeling non-binary), I needed a fully female name, which I will make official in a few months.

If you do a Google search, you'll find websites with long lists of names that work for either (any  :D) gender. That might be a source of alternatives you haven't even thought of.

either my name will continue working, or i'll have to find one that works.
the best male version of my female name, one that i'd very easily identify as, and even have had my name mistaken for, is already taken by my step brother.
long before i was born.
annoying.

so either i find another, or i just keep mine and let people hear wrong if they want to.
