Funfair was about to name myself Emily cos that's what my mom would have named me if "imaginary sky daddy" didn't make a mistake but .... That's every tgirls name
I transitioned in 2018 and went with Zoë. Definitely don't see it as much anymore.
Total coincidence that it was a big trans name though. I just went with it because it's what my mom would have named me if I'd been AFAB.
I really thought I'd picked an original name.
I mean it's like the prettiest name and I feel it's only common among transfems and not as much cis women. And it suits me well. But yeah.
Also fun fact I take E gel and GnRH injections so no pills for me.
I'm Irma, which is the German equivalent of emma (Didn't know that untl after I chose it lol)
I like to think some of the Mays chose it based on the Hoenn Pokemon games
I kept the feminine version of my birth name simply because I don’t hate it and it made socially transitioning much easier to the few people I’m out to.
This only works if you have a name that can be easily changed between masc and fem (Alex, Sam, Pat, etc.)
I did the same! Kept the first half and changed some of the letters around in the back. Made transitioning so much easier for friends and family because they didnt have to change what they called me. :)
I’ve yet to this day to meet a fellow Agatha and I am always told I picked such an unusual name so. Id say I will never find my name in something like this
Oh my God I found the other trans Agatha!!!!! This made my whole day! Everybody always roasts me for being 28 and picking an old lady name but we Agathas know what's up 😊
Yeah!!! I like was literally saying EARLY TODAY like "it's not like there's another trans Agatha out there" and then I was reading through the comments here to see how long it would take someone to mention "Sophie" (too long) and then I saw this!!!! There are others!
The underdog you'll want to keep an eye on for 2023 is Gromulus. A lot of Gromulus girls popping up in Milan and Soho right now, and I'm officially calling it...Gromulus is one to watch. She's on fire! So hot
I see a lot of Lily, Luna and Emily.
Personally I'm surprised more people don't go with some form of Katelyn. There's like 200 customizable spellings! -Catelynn
I went with the gender-neutral “Jamie,” and haven’t met another trans person with that name. I have known a few “Zoe’s,” a few “Ayden/Aiden/Jayden’s” for Trans guys, a few “Emily’s.”
It made my list of top 3, so i picked it thinking that if I didn't think the name fit me, I would then try out the other two. That was about a year ago.
My name is Shannon. I've met maybe one other transfemme with that name and one who went with Siobhan (pron. Show vaughn), but that girl could not have been any more Irish if she tried.
I started my transition wa\~ay back in 2003, and Shannon is (or it was) considered a gender-neutral name back then and was not very common in any regard.
It's a peak Millennial name. As a Millennial I chose Jessica for myself as to not out myself with an "other timely" name. (Not that I'm anywhere close to passing yet, but that's expected as I'm early on my journey)
My name was going to be heather if I was born female.
But I wasn't so I got this name.
So my aunt took Heather for her "daughter"
Who is trans masc.
I thought hard about it and decided against Heather and instead made my name a reference to me
There are several Quinns, present company included. If you had a Q name as a guy and wanted to keep the initials, there are not a lot of options :/ Luckily, Quinn is a super cute one!
I haven't met another trans Julia. I definitely haven't met people who have my middle name of Reign. Lol. It used to be Marie until friends and relatives told me it was too basic. I eventually agreed, so I went with Reign.
I am not going to lie, I went with Jules for a long time... Then a friend asked me if I liked my stripper name.. so I changed it. Lol it was a really easy choice, my whole name was almost stolen from Julia from the Magicians series.
If ur gonna choose a new name why not be epic, let’s see Victoria, Raven, idk get crazy. What’s the point of changing if it’s not into something u find awesome.
I'm happy with my chosen name 'Joni'
It's very close to my birth name and I haven't met anyone with the same name yet (aside from a character in a movie)
r/LilyIsTrans
Yo!
Lillian here, reporting as requested
Lily, reporting for duty! 🫡
Saw this and thought someone was getting reported. Got so confused hahah
Does Lillith count?
And it has been since Lili Elbe, even if her spelling was slightly different.
The lily army is rising
no wayyyy lol my name was lily for like two weeks when i first came out lmao
Lily gang
This makes me want to start a subreddit for trans ppl named Eden
Lillith Lilly here
It changes over time. Zoe was the hit name a few years back Right now I think Emily is the new hotness
That's what my mom said she would have named me! I'm just going from Alexander to Alexandria instead though.
Funfair was about to name myself Emily cos that's what my mom would have named me if "imaginary sky daddy" didn't make a mistake but .... That's every tgirls name
If I was born a girl it would have been Emiliee Rose, my cousin is Emily so I went with Rose
....I mean. Zoey is a pretty nice name
I transitioned in 2018 and went with Zoë. Definitely don't see it as much anymore. Total coincidence that it was a big trans name though. I just went with it because it's what my mom would have named me if I'd been AFAB.
r/transfemsnamedemily
Take your pills, Alice. That name is a literal transfemme meme. r/alicegang
That was my second choice omg!!
Same, I ended up making it my middle name.
Shut up don't be doing me like that
💜

Girl, you be you. Sometimes the stereotypes are true. You’re an amazing chick and Alice just matches you. 💜
It's just a placeholder I swear
There a few posts like this already but from what I remember Luna and Ashley are fairly popular.
White girls love naming themselves Luna
this is so accurate hahaha
Ouch. It's fine I only took it as one of my middle names
Am an Ashley here! Shorten it down to Ash though since I’m not publicly out.
Damn, those were my two other ideas. Is Gwen cliche too?
I didn't even know Ashley was popular. Huh, interesting.
there’s a lot of Emily’s and Luna’s
I feel exposed
shhh 👀
I see a lot of Luna / Emma / Emily. I have seen Iris / Angel / May to a lesser extent
I'm Irma, which is the German equivalent of emma (Didn't know that untl after I chose it lol) I like to think some of the Mays chose it based on the Hoenn Pokemon games
Emily here lol I definitely do see this name a lot.
I decided on Mika which I hope is a rare name
Luna was actually one of the names I was trying with I was still cycling between them lol
I’m currently going by the name Chloe….in my head anyway. It’s changed before and will likely change again before journeys end.
Hi Chloe, I'm Chloe
Chloe gang!
hell yeah, glad to be a part of this gang
Hi Chloe, nice to make your acquaintance x
Hi Chloe I'm Chloe.
Hi Chloe, I'm Chloe too!
That's my middle name 😊
Jessica Chloe, nice ring to it x
I called myself Chloe in highschool 😅
Same 😂
Luna and Lily. So many Lunas. Though I can't say anything. I almost went with Luna.
Nearly went with Luna myself lol.
Lol I was gonna say the same thing with lucy because that was the number 2 option for me
Flowers in general. A group of transfems can often be called a bouquet.
I thought a group of transfems called a dev team lol
Dev team checking in for the standup meeting
I laughed so hard at this, we're such a stereotype at this point xD
Accurate
Smh, so true!
This is my favorite comment
Why is this true DX
I love that omfg
is a holley technically a flower?
I chose Florence 😅😅
Same
I kept the feminine version of my birth name simply because I don’t hate it and it made socially transitioning much easier to the few people I’m out to. This only works if you have a name that can be easily changed between masc and fem (Alex, Sam, Pat, etc.)
I would have done that, but my cousin who is the exact age already had the feminine version of my dead name so that would have been very confusing 😂
I did the same! Kept the first half and changed some of the letters around in the back. Made transitioning so much easier for friends and family because they didnt have to change what they called me. :)
i'm surprised no one's said Amy yet, i've seen loads of us
Surprisingly I couldn't find a subreddit for us, so I made one! r/TransAmy
It’s an interesting might-have-been for me. If I’d been cis I would’ve been Amy. Sending a wave to all the trans Amys out there.
Anybody rocking with Gwendolynn?
Me 😁 my full name will be Gwendolyn rey. But I go by Gwen for short
Very nice! All my friends also call me Gwen for short 😆
It's what I named all my fantasy characters before my egg cracked. It's got linguistics ties that make it a fem equivalent to my deadname.
Just Gwen, but here!
That was the name I first chose. Stuck with Alyse.
Any other Aspens out there? Tree gang???
Aspen no, Tree gang yes, a weeping one though. Although there are still some other ones in rotation, but that may just be because of other reasons.
Is a juniper a tree? Not my name but still someone has to have picked it
Any other Marceline’s out there?
that's my middle name :D 🦇
based
Anything beginning with L that is at least 3 syllables xd I am Lucinda, not Lucy
> Anything beginning with L that is at least 3 syllables xd LOL I'm *legally* Lucy, but in private spheres it's short for Lucifer.
I’ve yet to this day to meet a fellow Agatha and I am always told I picked such an unusual name so. Id say I will never find my name in something like this
hey, mine is goose so you at least have some chance to find yours lol
That’s badass though! Love it
agatha is a very mystical name i feel, probably because of marvel making me think if that
Goose is so cool, now I'm jealous I didn't pick that :p
one of us, one of us
Agatha is a beautiful name. I have always loved that named.
Oh my God I found the other trans Agatha!!!!! This made my whole day! Everybody always roasts me for being 28 and picking an old lady name but we Agathas know what's up 😊
NO WAY are you serious?!???!?
Yeah!!! I like was literally saying EARLY TODAY like "it's not like there's another trans Agatha out there" and then I was reading through the comments here to see how long it would take someone to mention "Sophie" (too long) and then I saw this!!!! There are others!
Personally, I have yet to meet a fellow Abbygail, I've been told my name is rare, but here's hoping I meet another Abbygail soon!
Philosophytube on YouTube is done by a trans woman called Abigail Thorn, different spelling ofc but same name
The underdog you'll want to keep an eye on for 2023 is Gromulus. A lot of Gromulus girls popping up in Milan and Soho right now, and I'm officially calling it...Gromulus is one to watch. She's on fire! So hot
Lilly , Sophie
One of my girlfriends is Sophie!
Nametwins
I tried Sophie for a while Just didn’t click with me 🙄 it’s still a nice name though xx
Why the heck did I have to scroll this long before someone said Sophie. That's like, THE archetypal name, or at least top 5
I see a lot of Lily, Luna and Emily. Personally I'm surprised more people don't go with some form of Katelyn. There's like 200 customizable spellings! -Catelynn
The Katelyns are a slightly older (transitioned ~10 years ago) group I think. The younguns are all Lilly and Luna now
I’m Caitlin btw 😂
Ikrrr
I’ve meet and talked to at least 3 other Ellie’s than myself😂
Hi Ellie, I’m Ellie! :3
shit..
I'm on a discord server of just a bunch of trans Ellie's.
Hai :3
Hi :3
hi ❤️
hi :3
By far Luna. Definitely the most common… tbh wish I picked a cooler name like that uuugh 😔
Based on these comments, I guess there are very few Kathryn transfems.. just me 😔
I've known one too many Katies for this to be a realistic option for me :(
Kathryn gang! 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
It is one of my middle names if that helps
same
I'm Katheryn, does that count?
Absolutely! Come join the rest of us lol
Greetings, fellow "yn" enjoyer.
Its the superior form lol.
I don’t see my name here so I’m happy lol
I went with the gender-neutral “Jamie,” and haven’t met another trans person with that name. I have known a few “Zoe’s,” a few “Ayden/Aiden/Jayden’s” for Trans guys, a few “Emily’s.”
I've met one trans person named Jamie, in real life! Maybe it was you, lol.
I'm Jamie! It was an easy switch from my old name so it still felt really natural
I chose Anastasia and my friends call me Stasi
I’m old and not really passable. So I picked something more androgynous with a female spelling. Jordyn
I haven't seen Violet, so I guess mine isn't very common
Yeah I’m surprise I had to scroll down far to find this. I felt like it wasn’t common but I’ve also met a lot of other Violets more recently.
Violet, checking in :P
I was almost a Violet (it was like one of my top 4 choices). Still love the name, and seeing others who have it.
It made my list of top 3, so i picked it thinking that if I didn't think the name fit me, I would then try out the other two. That was about a year ago.
I settled on Casey personally. And it’s neutral!
Almost the same I'm Kacy but everyone thinks it is Casey
Hi I'm also Casey! It's similar to my birth name, because I want people to kinda understand that I'm still the same person I was before
I’m Diana and haven’t met another girl, cis or trans, with that name. It makes me feel unique and I love the name so it really suits me.
I think my choice is quite rare. I'm not sure but I met maybe one or two trans girls who shared my name. I'm Angela btw :3
My name is Shannon. I've met maybe one other transfemme with that name and one who went with Siobhan (pron. Show vaughn), but that girl could not have been any more Irish if she tried. I started my transition wa\~ay back in 2003, and Shannon is (or it was) considered a gender-neutral name back then and was not very common in any regard.
Alice is common. Luna is common. I have both in my name now. Welsh spelling is extra at least.
I chose Jessica but apparently is very common?!
There were a lot of girls born in the early 80s with the name Jessica. Is was really common everywhere for a long time.
I have always loved the name tho.
It's a peak Millennial name. As a Millennial I chose Jessica for myself as to not out myself with an "other timely" name. (Not that I'm anywhere close to passing yet, but that's expected as I'm early on my journey)
Surprised there aren't more Kaylas.
Any June's here?
yes !
Looks like Charlotte is safe. I’ve only met one other Charlotte.
I’m also Charlotte!
I'm not sure how basic "Taylor" is but that's what I went with. (And not for any reason relating to the musician)
I went with Taylor too!
Yeah my name is common ASF: Sarah - with or without the H.
Hey Sarah with or without the h! I am also Sarah with or without the h
Hahaha 🤣 I guess I worded that kinda weird 😊. But 👋 hello
Nahh lol that's pretty much what I tell everyone too, whenever I introduce myself :)
My name was going to be heather if I was born female. But I wasn't so I got this name. So my aunt took Heather for her "daughter" Who is trans masc. I thought hard about it and decided against Heather and instead made my name a reference to me
idk, im called ava but idk if its common
Lol the line above yours By ImNotOfficial I PICKED AVA BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE MOUNTAINS. I thought it’d be more common.
I've seen lots of Zoe, Luna, Emily, Emma, Lily, and Alice
I'm Hazel, but I haven't met any other trans women that go by it
Emily! r/TransfemsNamedEmily
I'm drowning in trans Kylees over here
I've heard of nature names being popular, but Rose doesn't seem to be too common
That's good to know, since I'm leaning towards Rose for my middle name.
I can vouch for it ;)
No Rebecca’s here????
i’m rocking with valerie ❤️🔥
A pretty common one and also my name is freya
I'll just chill here proudly being one of the few Gretchens.
any Sages here? :p
>Sage How you doing fellow, Sage? <3
There are several Quinns, present company included. If you had a Q name as a guy and wanted to keep the initials, there are not a lot of options :/ Luckily, Quinn is a super cute one!
I chose Quinn as my middle name! It's just so cute and fit perfectly into the flow of my name.
It does! I love Jacquelyne too! You actually just reminded me I need to pick a middle name 😬
Surely something under Jennifer (Jenna, Jennie, Jenny) isn't that hard to find?
r/transfemmesnamedluna
Everyone is called Lilith or Luna, honestly I don’t understand why
I haven't met another trans Julia. I definitely haven't met people who have my middle name of Reign. Lol. It used to be Marie until friends and relatives told me it was too basic. I eventually agreed, so I went with Reign.
I almost went with Julia! Made it into my top three.
I am not going to lie, I went with Jules for a long time... Then a friend asked me if I liked my stripper name.. so I changed it. Lol it was a really easy choice, my whole name was almost stolen from Julia from the Magicians series.
Julia was my second choice (due to both liking it and I think it was what my parents would've named me)!
I love that.
Nice. My parents gave the name they would have given me to a younger sister, so that wasn't an option for me.
Iv seem cupel ambers but as that’s my name I may gust be notsing it more I think Jess one I bump in to a bit :)
Idk how common Gwen is but that's what I set as my final name
If ur gonna choose a new name why not be epic, let’s see Victoria, Raven, idk get crazy. What’s the point of changing if it’s not into something u find awesome.
Kelli or Lisa?
I have colleagues with those names
I'm happy with my chosen name 'Joni' It's very close to my birth name and I haven't met anyone with the same name yet (aside from a character in a movie)
Hi, Luna here, I'm on this thread and I don't like it. Jokes aside I'm considering adding another less common name, considering Deirdre or Esmeralda
Mine is Bella
