So I picked out the name Kade a while back. But honestly I don't think it's going to work for me. Too many people think I'm saying "Kate" and it gets old fast. Does anyone have any suggestions for a name you could "see" me as (from my picture) or even just names you like! Post with your favorite or a couple.

Would Kaden work better for you if you wanted to stick with the same theme?

I'm thinking Jaden, Gabriel or Tyler.

I had a friend switch from Kade to Kye.
If you like the letter K, another one that would suit you would be Kyle. Or you could go for Kris with a K, but that's also often short for Kristin so might not be your favorite.

Kyle

Kyler

Tyler

Frank

George

Larry

Tanner

You look like a James to me... idk why

If you would prefer a name based on personality, something I like to do is go to babynames.com and search for a name with a meaning that relates to you.

It's actually how I found my name (Ashling).

I'd like to think I'm pretty good at picking names.

I picked names for two trans guys who were pretty darn happy with them.

First! Do you have anything in particular about your 'birth name' that you would like to keep? Things like an initial or a certain sound?
Do your siblings (if you have any) have a theme to their names that you'd like to continue (or have something in common)? Some examples would be if your family has names deeply rooted in a particular language that's part of your family history, or maybe they're all biblical names.
Do you currently have a middle name picked out? Do you want a middle name?
How many syllables are in your last name? Which syllable has the emphasis?
Is there a particular sound repeated in your last name? In a lot of Irish last names "an" sounds are repeated so a first name that ends with "an" sometimes doesn't fit.
Also consider who you are, what you like, and your personality.

Kieran, Kaullin, Sebastian, Grady

These are names I considered for myself.
I settled on Morgan because its unisex and not too far off from my birth name ( but not super close either )

- Konrad
- Dylan
- Davin
- Anthony
- Jay
- Patrick
- Christien

looking at your photo....I see "Jamie" or "Riley" haha it's hard to say!

kinda seeing a cody or kurt. but ill make a little list for ya maybe XD

Cody
Kurt
Nathan
Liam
Anthony (tony)
Lowell

Oddly enough you look like either a Tyler or a Riley to me.

you look like a tyler! but that's just for now, it's better if your name fits later as well.
answering nygeel's questions might help you find a good name.

I think You should be called Trenton James.


...but what do I know.

I've decided my middle name is going to be Doran, which is my father's middle name. I like the name (and my dad) and we have a tradition in our family with "D" middle names. So that's why I don't want to go with Kaden...for exactly the reason you mentioned above. My birth name is Kimberly so there isn't a male version of that or really anything I can think of that would go with "sounds" as far as that goes. My sister's name is Carla, so... We don't really have any biblical or language-related links in our names.

Like four of you guys suggested "Tyler" but that's my brother-in-law's name, plus I know a lot of douchebags named Tyler
I'm still mulling over some of the other suggestions...

Here are a couple more pics because I'm lame and it might help with suggestions:

You certainly look like a Dylan or Aiden.

Connor, Xavior, Felix, Joshua, Andrew

kale, kenneth, kimbel, cyril, cedric, clayton, kevin, keith
kimberley is unisex, really, as is the short form kim.

when looking for a name, consider its meaning as well as the sound, and how it connects you with family and ancestors.

How about Jace?

Sorry, I'm not very good at names lol. The name I've been using lately - Robin - wasn't even something I came up with. I had to make a thread on another site asking for name ideas, too. And it wasn't until about page 10 that I made a decision.
