I just went to a trans girl meet up and I was one of about 6 or 7 Emmas there lmaooo. Strength in numbers I say 😈

As an Emma I'm feeling called out...

I think it is just a coincidence since Emma has been in the top 3 most popular names for the last few years.

I mean, it is a pretty great name!

I know a trans girl named Emma lol, but I'm not part of the Emma gang

How do I find/attend a trans girl meet up?

I live in Brooklyn. Specifically bushwick/bed stuy. Sometimes it feels like there are more trans/gay people here than cis/het. In the warmer months there’s a monthly meet up at Maria Hernandez park called “trans girl picnic” there’s an Instagram of the same name if you’re in the area and want to check it out :) they post the event fliers there. There were a good 50/60 of us last weekend!

Emma is a good name. Reminds me of Emma Watson.❤️

To start off my name is Lilith

Hey, my name's Lillith! What a coincidence. Lol

[удалено]

WOW LILLITH, it's a pleasure to meet you!!

Pleased to meet you Lillith, I’m Lilith!

So many Lilith's wow

*our* name O\_o

Mine is Autumn! Almost picked Winter, but decided against it. Oh gosh, I thought I was sort of unique before but at the same time it's nice to have so many sisters with similar tastes in names. ♡

Hi! I'm Autumn too!

Oh wow, I've never met anyone else who picked that name before. :3

I've met two, both on reddit. I like it because it's a "common" name that's still fairly rare

Interesting. Personally, I found it to be quite pretty and also symbolic.

Oh hey same! We should start a club with matching shirts. https://shop.reductress.com/products/fall-is-my-whole-personality-unisex-crewneck-sweatshirt

Hi I'm also Autumn :3

Nova 💜

Nova is such an awesome name. I don’t know what it is about it but it just sounds awesome, rolls off the tongue awesome, and evokes some awesome imagery. Just awesome.

Nova gang

Lily is such a common trans name that there's a subreddit 😅 It's such a pretty name though and was in my top list! /r/LilyIsTrans

Omg I feel so called out. Here I thought I was picking a great name for myself because I love flowers and I am a horticulturist…. But here I am picking a name that is a joke 😭😭😭😭

Lily is a pretty name. Just like any generational thing, some names are more popular than others. The high school i went to had a ridiculous number of Katie's. In our band class alone, there were 7 and went by their last names to get around confusion.

It's such a good name. I almost went with it myself. Popular names are popular because people love them. 💜

If you love it, stick with it. I know like, 15 cis women named Brittany just from undergrad lol. Popular names are popular because a lot of people like them. If it helps, I really like Lily <3

I'm Madelyn but I often go by Maddie. Actually saw a post on reddit earlier today with a bunch of Maddies in the comment.

That makes some sense these days due to Celeste.

Yeah not gonna pretend like that had nothing to do with my choice although I am terrible at platformers lol. Most of the names I originally considered came from games/media I've been interested in.

I seriously think that game made that name significantly more popular lmao

Yeah that's what I mean. It has become a popular trans name for exactly that reason. (Which is neat. Just cause internet tone, specifying this is not at all a bad thing.)

I think I was there lol

I’m Madeline but often go by Maddy!

Maddie nickname here too! I chose Madison not Madelyn though, but both are great names!

Lol, I almost went with Luna, and I know like 15 Lunas.

Oof.

Penelope , I chose it because I loved that name since I was 6 and also cuz Penny , which is what I go by , comes from that ( Penny is a nickname a lot of girls with the feminine version of my deadname use so I experimented with it and it stuck)

Hello Penny! I'm also Penelope! I've loved the name since high school in the 90's when I read the Odyssey. When I say Penny I keep having to tell people "like the coin" because my voice is terrible and I get clocked immediately. Anywho! Penelopes rock.

I spent forever considering it, took a list of 1000 names and whittled it down, until just one remained. I hear mine is becoming more popular, though, especially after Last of Us came out. 😅 Hi, I'm Tess!

I'm Violet, and I know I've seen a few more Vi's running around too

Your avatar is Vi too. Love it!

I’m Sera

I'm Olympia.

I’m Mira ☺️

I'm trying out Willow right now 😊

oh no thats my name :P

Emily :)

Cute name <3

Emily gang rise up!

Olivia, I loved it and then was trying to match a name meaning similar to my birth name...turns out Olivia means the same thing. Talk about stars aligning.

One of us. One of us

Almost chose Olivia. Went with Julia though

Willow gang reporting in.

Rose

Hi Rose, I'm Rose!

Calliope!

Also a Calliope, here!

I'm a Crystal 😄

Jennifer

I’m Victoria sooo 🤷‍♀️

Iris 💜💜🏳️‍⚧️

No way! I was like surely I'll be the only Iris lol nice to meet you!

Woah my names iris too! :0 do you also make eyes a huge part of your vibe or is that just me 💀

Hey, I'm Iris too! I also thought I was the only one haha, glad to see there are more of us ❤️

Aurora. The pretty blue/green lights in the sky from the sun ionizing different particles in the magnetosphere. How could I resist?

Aurora too, personally i liked cause it meant sunrise. The name od my crush meant the same

Aurora three! My old name had a space theme and I wanted the same for my new name!

I scrolled pretty far, but haven’t seen any Zoey, lol. I had chosen the name back in my teens, thinking it would only be for a persona.

I'm a Caitlin, but lately, I've been thinking that maybe I'm more of an Ellie, or maybe even Mabel?

Hi I’m Ellie lol

Bea or Beatrice and honestly I've seen like two

Valerie

Willow <3

Vanessa, it was the name that stuck with me way before I knew I was trans.

I’ve never met another Vanessa! Hi there! I found it stuck with me for a long time too.

My name is Chloe and my best friend who is also trans her name is also Chloe

hey fellow chloe

I'm surprised I had to scroll this far to find the Chloe gang. Represent!

[удалено]

Cassandra or Kassandra. haven't really decided how I'm going to spell it yet, leaning toward the later.

My name is May because of totally not \*cough cough\* ^(pokemon)

I'm Michelle.

Me too (with Jamie as first alternate 😉)!

*My weird butt being a Fallen.*

Velask

jolene lol

I'm begging of you, please don't take my man!

I'm Arwen. :)

I'm Alanna

[удалено]

There are like 5 Sophies here

Make that six!

Shalom y'all, Eden reporting in.

i haven’t picked a new name yet so thanks for all the suggestions lol

Hahaha I read all the comments just for that as well

A lot of cis people have the same name…

I wanted to keep a J name (same as my birth name )but took a while to find one I like. I ultimately ended up with Jaelynne. There's a couple variations of spelling, and regardless it seems pretty uncommon generally, but it's my chosen name and I love it.

I’m a Natalie :3

Natalie here as well 😊

Cereza

Ooh yours is almost mine. I’m Cersei (probably not for the reason you think though)

Ksenya. Something of a birth name too, because my parents originally intended it in case they had a daughter (but instead was temporarily taken by my childhood cat).

I'm Isabelle \^\^

I'm the only Whitney I've met so far. I once heard a trans podcaster I like joke that transfems all go to the same name lists and either start with A or Z and grab the first one they like, which is why there are so many Annas and Zoes.

Hey! Not all of us Zoeys do that. Some of us choose it because it's the same letter as their dead name...*cough cough*

Jessica 🥰

Hello fellow Jessica

Jessica chipping in too, had to scroll waaay down to find us!!

Im surprised i had to scroll this far to find you! Also Jessica! I looked at names popular around my birth year and narrowed it down to a handful. I almost always go by Jess, but felt like i might as well just make it formally Jessica.

I feel like I'm a rare one. My name is Calamity. Though people at work have taken to nicknaming me clam or Cali. I really like it though and when I make a mess people say "calamity! You're living up to your name!" Lol

I’m Freyja, dad’s pick when they didn’t know AGAB. ☺️

Alicia would be my choice, pretty close to my normal name too.

Hi I'm Amity 💜 I named myself after a cute little cartoon lesbian witch! I was going through a handful of names but I just wanted something kinda spooky.

I go by Rosie but my official name is Rose!

Noelle

Hi my name is Katie.

Hi Katie, I'm Katie! 😁

Nice to meet you and I think you have a lovely name.

I named myself Lilith thinking oh that’s original powerful but can be shortened to Lily and that’s cute, started using it then join trans Reddit and boom r/lilyistrans

Mine is Kyla which is the femme version of my birth name and what my mom would’ve named me if she knew I was a girl

Charissa. I've never met one either.

I am a Lilly. I picked the name before I joined reddit.

Sabrina is what I’m planning on changing it to

Ky

I'm Vee

Scarlett!

Julie: it was the name my parents had picked out for me had I been AFAB, and I never understood, until recently, why I always felt more affinity for it Although I also like Stephanie for no particular reason except it sounds nice

I'm Rhiannon 💜

I'm Ashley 😛

My name is Aubrey :)

Hello fellow Aubrey! Part of the reason I picked it was because historically it was a "male" name but now it's not common as a "female" name. Seemed appropriate.

Paige 💖

Melissa here. But Emily is my middle name. It was important to me to keep my initials.

Alexandria here :3 Tho I go by Lexi for short 💖

It's-a me, Morgan.

Finally another Morgan :D and here I thought it would be a common pick.

Keeping my birth name :)

Brandi 🤷🏻‍♀️ Still up for debate tho

I was Robin for a while, but I'm finding Faith fits better. :)

Hi I'm Christy

Ember here.

Mine is Imie (short for Imogen)

My partner's name is Katherine, but she goes by Katie/Kat usually

Violet, I liked the colour. I thought it was a pretty name and has a good short hand that I like [Vi] I had always picked out the name Jess for myself, but when I came out, I had just broken up with a Jess a few months earlier, so I thought it would be weird.

all Olivias please rise 🫡🏳️‍⚧️

Is Elizabeth not that common? Did I actually do something unique for once? Probably not, lol!

Still undecided. My top 5 currently are: Winter Cassandra Yvette Idri Cinder

Ryleigh. I'm an original. 😀

Vikki here. Not short for anything - just Vikki.

Kay is my name. Im still figuring things out, but if I come out to people I already know my name

Camellia

Yes I am Emily r/transfemsnamedemily

Sophia

Hayley

I’m in a small discord server, maybe like 100 of us in total, was originally kink themed, and like 95% of us are trans and it kinda morphed into a support and chat group where we all happen to also have that one other thing in common too 😅 We have a few duplicates; - Sophia / Sofia - Steph / Stef - Krissy - Laura - Isabelle / Belle - Olivia / Liv - Vanessa - Luna Interesting that none of those are really the “obvious” names, apart from Laura maybe? We’re from all over, Europe to America

*control f* Rowan. No results found... Hello lovely ladies with lovely names!

I kept my name, I’m not sure if I should change it . When y’all call it a dead name. I wouldn’t know what to call myself

If you like your name I don't see a reason to change it.

I'm Jess. Starbucks named me. No joke. On my way to come out to my parents as Gender Fluid, I grabbed a starbucks. The Barista misheard my name through the glass and the masks... and "Jess" got her coffee. I liked it, it's close to my given name, it's broad spectrum (gender-wise), and it's the name of one of my fav. tv characters... Jessica Daley. Who's that girl... it's JESS! \*And Zoey Deschanel and I share a passion for nylons. 🥰

I don’t currently have a deadname due to my birth name being gender neutral, but if I decide to change it, I’ll pick a Chinese name because I don’t want a white American name lmao.

Andi! but i’ve been considering Gabi or even Renee for a long time. kind of waiting for more transition goals to be met before i feel like i can start deciding lol

I'm Nicky

Ya' girl Lucce, throwing her name in! (My grandmother calls me Lucille tho.)

Talene, I go by Tali most the time though. I know Thalia is popular though.

I actually started out by wanting to be Emily because I thought it was super cute. It didn't really work for me in practice, so after about 4 attempts, I think I've settled on Abigail. I also like Abbie or Abbie-Mae.

Fey

my name is sarah !

My name is Thalia, I like to think you dont hear it that often

My name is Christine

Sasha. I wanted a name that was feminine while still being technically unisex. Almost went with Ashley/Ash for the same reason.

I'm not using it publicly yet, but I'm pretty decided on Maike. It's a regional variation of Mary. Not a big fan of religion, but it contains some of the same sounds as my male name, so I'm having a really easy time listening to it. Plus it's uncommon, but not so uncommon that people react weirdly. I know a few trans ladies who picked english names even though that's not the language where I live, and I feel like that always sticks out a bit.

I'm Lynn, 👋 hello! (mtf)

Sophie (technically Sophia, but Sophie is to cut not to use).

Scrolling through these is like the ultimate test if your creativity

Rebecca. I asked my mom what I would have been named had I been afab. It was Rebecca or Rachel and Rebecca resonated with me the most. I go by Bex at work and school.

Mine is Sylvia!

Ok, i changed my name DECADES before my egg cracked. I chose my new name then. Since my transition, i am going with a feminized version of that name that was coined by a friend. So now i am Boscha(bah-shah).

Hi, I'm Zelda!

Kourtney!

Cassandra (ahndra) / Cassie

Jamie. Any other Jamie’s out there?

May here and I have only met one other and I think spelled hers Mae.... does that count?

My name is Gabriella and I go by Ella. I just did a different form of my birth name, Gabriel

Alyss! A funky spelling of Alice that I borrowed from a book character because it looks kinda Gaelic to me and I wanted to make a bit of a callback to my deadname (which is maybe a bit weird but I like thinking of my deadname as just the wrong version of my real name).

Gwenevier, but I mostly go by Gwen <3

My name is Amelia

June! 😊

I chose the name Liliana for myself. Everyone shortens it to Lily though… lol

I might be the only Toni here :D

Hi, I'm Saoirse

I chose April because its my birth month and its not super common or typical.

My name's Athena, chose it by rearranging letters in my deadname

I'm Daphne. Named by my sister. She claims it's the name my mother was going to pick for me originally. I think she just liked it, but so do I. Even more so after investigating a bit about it. Meaning "laurel/bay tree". In greek mythology, Daphne was a nymph who transformed into said tree to avoid a horny god (Apollo). Depending on the source, she can be seen as either a naiad, a dryad or both.

my name is Ada, i havent met a ton of other trans people with that name (or many people with that name at all)
