    This is a place to post your new name if you're trans or genderqueer in some way.

    As a boy, I'm Caleb William Andrew (I'd rater not post my given name or last name)

    What about you?

    I haven't really decided on a first name...if I were to change I would ask my parents to give me a name. So for the time being I use the gender neutral version of my birth name. Dunno if I want to post that though. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    But I do think I would change my middle name to Niko, so there you go. :grin:

    I picked the name Jennifer because it's what my mom would've named me if I'd been born a girl. Also I always thought Jenny was a cute name~
    If I were to choose a middle name, it'd probably be Patricia after my grandma.

    This is my given name. And I wouldn't change it. Used to think it was more of a girls name than guys.

    That suits me just fine.

    I'm undecided if I want to add a middle name (is the middle name between the first one and the surname? :grin:). In fact, in Italy the most part of the people has only one name and one surname, thing that is different from the U.S.A. Having a middle name could make me feel more cosmopolitan and "international", because I feel like a citizen of the world, not a common italian. But, as I already said, I'm not sure about it because I'm a little lazy writing two names + surname when I have to sign :grin:

    Lucy (What I would of been called if I was a Cis-Female
    Sarah (What My sister wanted me to be called if I was a Cis-Female.
    and
    Marceline: The Vampire Queen (the bit after Marceline is optional) :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Most people from north America don't sign their middle names.

    It may sound weird, given both middle names sound like first names, but... that's how is anyways. Still, I love it. So hello all, my name is Rose, nice to meet you.

    Here's my long naming story:

    My given name at birth was just plain William X*******, where the surname was that of my biological father. (Parents weren't married.) When I was about 4, Mum decided to change her legal surname to match mine, and offered me the chance to pick a middle name; I chose John.

    When I was 7, she married a wonderful man, who legally adopted me, so I became William John Y******. Some time in high school, I allowed my peers to decide for me that I should be "Bill".

    Many, many years later, I was briefly married. We hyphenated last names, and I was legally William John Z******-Y****** -- just long enough for us to have a daughter together. I was presented with two sets of names that my wife was deciding between: the names we gave our daughter, and "Hannah Rose". I like both sets of names, especially the "Rose" that didn't get used.

    Fast-forward 18 or so years. I finally realize that I'm on the trans* spectrum. I don't know yet whether I'll eventually legally change my name. But I do know that I'd like a gender-neutral variant of what people call me now ("Bill"), and I want a female given and middle name so that I'll be ready if I do decide to legally change names. And I like "Rose" as a middle name.

    Hence "Willow Rose" (or maybe "Willa," like Cather), Billie for short. I figure it won't be too hard for people to switch from "Bill" to "Billie".

    So, that's my story.
