girl name suggestions

Ya! a ghost! some people call them spirit guide, well at any rate whatever the entity was could have been a guardian angel. I first met her when I was 9 years old and she kind of disappeared on me when I was in my twenties and just came back again a couple of years ago. my Soul Mate has seen her to, like a shadowy figure that is just there then gone again. She showed up two years ago when My Soul mate and I got into car accident that had left the entire back of my van crumpled right up to the back of the front seet.  Speaking of Divine  intervention, we stepped out of that van without a scratch. She was there that night. Her name is Casandra

um, thank you?
anyway, so now you know about the sadness in my eyes when i smile.

i'd probably have been named something such as

Brianne
Gwen
Jenna
Maureen
Shanon
Tara

Jenna is cute.

Like everyone else here, I like Ell or Ellie. Does really fit.

It would seem mine has abandoned me in my time of need. That, or my efforts to push him away finally stuck.

I like vary rare names like Tamara, Brooke, Ember but I have been using Ember for a while and was recently told by my best friend that it could be a give away that I am Trans. So I'm going with something a bit more typical and choosing Jessica friends would call me Jess. I constantly find other students often make the mistake of calling me Amber as it is more common than Ember. So my suggestion is to try to find something a bit more "normal" and it will help you blend in better. It took me forever to decide on Ember and when I was adjusted to it I had to change it again. I hope this is the last time cuz friends don't even know what to call me anymore. It's hard and honestly prior to HRT I had trouble seeing me beside most names, but as I change from HRT I am having no problem identifying who I am as a woman and what name is best for me. Take your time choosing a name because you will have it forever, sometimes you just need time to see if a name works.

Ember means 'human being' in Hungarian.

I always thought it was a fitting coincidence that the textbook Anthropology was written by authors named Ember.

[Lori]

Ember is cute and so is Amber. And Lori is taken already or I would suggest that as my favorite 

[Kate]

Count me in for Ellie too! I like it... it "feels" like you! It's cute, yet still sophisticated and mature.

Have you thought of a middle name? If so, try writing it all out together... see if it flows. Make sure you're comfortable signing it... make sure you like the LOOK of it all.

And make sure your initials don't end up spelling something horrible, lol...

Mandy is a cute name....

How is Ember a bad name? I like that name. That's not weird. Tamara and Brooke aren't odd names! I have friends (yes, with legal names -- granted, they changed it... yes, I have gg friends that change their names). I have a friend named Raine and one named Silver. Another one of my friends goes by Jynx (her legal name is Codee, she's a gg, and she hates her mom for naming her Codee, so she uses Jynx instead).

And, in all reality, you're not going to have your name forever -- well, I guess it depends on where you live. It's very easy to change your name here when ever you want.

Mine legal name is Natalie, which I guess is typical, but people called me Nat before and started calling me Natalie before and it just seemed to fit. So, yeah, kind of typical, I guess.

I actually didn't have any problem with my name at all. Some people do. I guess I was lucky cause my name took no effort.

My mom was going to call me Ashlyn-Rose when I was born. That is now my middle name. My last name is Goddess (kidding!)

PS  I legally changed my name a year ago.

Hypatia:  I know what you mean, I chose Ophelia for myself a few months back... I guess I've always had a flair for the dramatic, but I actually go by Lia for short...

I've always loved the name Claire, probably due to Jill Hennessy's role on Law and Order.  Claire... should have snatched that one up as well.

Lia

I picked the name Cynthia from a friend I use to go out  with when I lived in Barrie Ontario, goodness that was over ten years ago now. I liked the name Cynthia and got my name legally changed 7 years ago.  A name becomes part of you so that you are in tune with it and can hear one individual call your name from across a room full of chattering people.

Yes... and now I wish I could turn off that effect for my old name. I know not to look around when I hear it called behind me, because I know it isn't for me any more... but the initial neural reaction is still there because my legal name change is so recent... the effect of hearing the old name will disappear over time.

Hi Hypatia

Yes you are quite correct my old name is a catchy one, it is not spelled like the name Eve but it is pronounced the same. My name use to be Yves, a french name. Anyway I didn't have much to worry much about any one calling me Eve. But after a few years that name kind of faded into obscurity. The only problem I had was the odd person saying sir, or Mister, he, him, or any other male pronouns. When I heard someone addressing me by those  pronouns, I just kept walking ignoring them. Once they caught up to me I would just say, "Oh! sorry I didn't know you were addressing me. I thought you were calling out for some bloke. So the pronouns soon faded into oblivion as well.

Hm.  I like names that end in "a" or have lots of vowels like Kaytee, Aurora, Anastasia, Josephina, Isabella or Rebecca...but Tara just happens to be my all-time favourite name (that's the rabid buffy the vampire slayer fan in me).  So I vote for Tara.  I know a springer spaniel named Ellie and she is hte sweetest pup in the world.

Ultimately it is up to you of course, but I like many of the suggestions given so far.
