    Do you have any preferences for names? Like a certain letter you want it to start with? Or to be more unique or relatively common?

    Do you have any preferences? For example, i went into it knowing a few things:

    (1) I wanted to keep my first initial the same,
    (2) I wanted my first name to be a simple, common name because i thought that if i picked something just cause it sounded cool then it would become a 'flavor of the month' sort of name to me, and finally
    (3) I wanted my middle name to honor someone who has made an impact on my life.

    Do you have a similar list? That way we can give you good suggestions rather than just throwing random names out there. Is there anything important that you want us to consider, like religion, ethnicity/culture or country of origin?

    Here are some top 1000 baby name charts just to give some ideas.

    Try out names aloud in the shower or the mirror if you can! Practice introducing yourself and see how it sounds, see how it feels. For me that played a big part in picking my name.

    This might be a strange suggestion but it worked for me. Lalaith is an elvish female name that translates the same as my given male name. So, why don't you look into the meaning of your female name and then find a male name in any language that means the same or something similar? Once again, weird suggestion and a long shot but it did work for me.

    Something androgynous works:
    Alexis
    Charlie
    Robin
    Sam
    Jamie

    I dunno, those are the only ones I can think of from the top of my head

    Do you want them genderneutral but ones that are mostly used for males, or something that's a male name more than most of the time?? I have some ideas for both that I think are pretty cool/different names and would love to share them.
