If I get married again, I'll worry about the last name, then.  But as it is now, I have the same initials as my dad: E.A.K.

Elisabeth Anne Kellogg is my real name.

Speaking of name changes, my court date is tomorrow (3 January).  Cross your everything for me!

I have been wanting to save my last name but change the rest of my name; but, I will know in a couple weeks when I come out to my parents.

I really had no desire to fem my old name.  Several people suggested it, but "Roberta" makes me want to barf.

333 I guess. although I have no middle name so it might be 3_3. The subject of name change is such an interesting subject and one that a lot of people neglect I suspect. After all, what's in a name? Well everything is in a name. Names are words and words have power. Your name needs to say something about you that you would wish people to know, even if it's on a subconscious level. For a long time I thought about feminising my own male name as it is what I would have been called if I had been born GG. However, it always stuck in my throat a bit as it was so common and most trans people with the same name do the same thing. It is also too much of a connection with the past which I want to get rid of.

So I chose a completely different name and one that is not too common. I chose Willow, because of a number of reasons. I have always liked the way it sounds - the way it flows - the way it looks on the page. It is the name of a beautiful tree - one that is firmly rooted but bends when the storm hits. It's flexible and moves with the flow. All qualities I aspire to.

Plus, it's the name of one of my favourite fictional characters who went through losts of changes that were not disimilar to my own, and came throuth intact and a better person for it.

Just thought I'd mention it.

Okay the numbers are just too confusing for me right now.  My brain hurts!  I changed my first and middle names only.

Hi all.
To get the feel of my name I must of written it over and over again I don't know how many hundreds of times until I made up my mind that I liked how it felt, it felt like who I am, Cynthia Leanne G. I believe I mentioned before how I got my first and second name. The first was a friend I had about ten years ago. When it came time where I knew I was going to transition, I thought to myself, "hey self?" "Why not use your friends name, Cynthia?" My second name it just kind of  popped up in my mind, I liked it, actually I loved it, and so it went on the application for my new birth certificate.

220 for me. Like the voltage!

I changed to feminine versions of my first and middle names-- fortunately both of the feminine forms existed already in Latin and are used as girlnames in English too, names that I like-- and kept the same last name.

I am in the process of changing my name right now.  Oh yeah.  I moved my old first name to my middle as it is a unique name and I kind of like it, just not as a first name.  And I choose a first name that I liked.  My last name is the same.  pretty simple.

I prefer Tara, but I'm wearing a TShirt with both of them on it

3-1-0 for me.

My first name, Sandra, was feminine, and I hadn't noticed many women with the name up to that point.  Also, it had a nickname that I was comfortable with.  I had never had a nickname that I liked with my old name.

My middle name, Louise, is a gender switch on my old middle name, Louis.  I was tormented as a child with that name and now I am proud to have it.  I had thought about using my mother's name, Lucille, as a tribute to her, but, while I love my mother greatly, I don't think she would have really understood my changes.  She passed several years ago.

I kept my last name as I felt no need to change it.

Now, of course, it seems everytime I turn around, I run into another Sandy!

I have a different online name than what my real name is going to be. My online name is 333, I always liked Meghan Lynn as the first two names and I thought the last name (Andrews) was fairly common and I didn't want to be the subject of internet searches to find my online identity. Paranoid, huh? I've known people who seriously regretted posting pics and too much biographical info online so I am fairly careful about that I think.

My real name is interesting. I had a variation of my first and middle name I was going to use. I asked my Mother what she thought about it. She told me what she was going to name me if I was born a girl, um, with girl parts, lol. So, that's the name I'm going with. So my real name will be 330 I think, different 1st and middle, then last is the same Meghan

Hi, could someone tell me what the numbers mean? Thanks

Cindy

1 and 0
I changed my name only slightly.  The gender neutral base is still there, but engendered long form version changed.
I am still most often called by the gender neutral name which is fine with me as I never had issue with it, and makes some things easier. 

I kept my old last name.
