I'm looking for advice from trans folks. Those who have changed names, how did/do you know that the name you chose feels right before coming out and asking to be called that? I'm considering another name but I just wish there was some way I could take it for a test drive, figure out if it really fits me and if I like it. Any advice?

ReplyHey! I'm trans as well :D (ftm) and there are some ways to help choose your name. One that I and a lot of others do is look at babyname websites and find names that you really like or feel comfortable with! If you have some friends or family that already supports you as trans you could ask them to try calling you different names to experiment! Some trans folks also ask their parents what they would have named them if they were the opposite gender. Just to give you some ideas, good luck! ^-^
ReplyMy cousin chose the name her parents would have given her if she’d been the other way around

ReplyI had a friend who used it as a pen name to confirm they liked it
ReplyI haven't come out yet but ive heard things like coming out to someone you can trust and asking them to call you your chosen name, if you don't like it, find another that you like. I personally use my chosen name for things like novni, diary entrees, and signing the board in health class. Then you can eventually come out to more people if you have chosen the name, so ya.
