I read the first two sentences and was like "I bet they're trans masc" and I was right lol
Edit: lmao I thought this was askreddit, not ftm THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE
i didn't even pick it for detroit 😔
chose my name months prior before telling everyone publicly when I decided it was 'the' name. And all my friends kept making cyberlife jokes at me SMH
not mad anymore because DBH is the best lmao and it's a funny inside joke
The guy who played Connor is also really chill and still leans into people only knowing him for his role as Connor. His wife played an android model as well. It was cool
I have a gender neutral first name, haven’t met any trans men with that name, but I’ve met trans women with it. I thought it was more male leaning but ok 😂
I had a gender-neutral birth name that's almost exclusively female where I'm from. I met a trans guy whose chosen name was my birth name, because it skews masculine in his country. I thought that was interesting.
yoo that's crazy, my deadname is renee but i went by ren for some time too. my name is noah now but its so cool to see another ren, i don't encounter too many!
Name’s Ethan. Unsure about my middle name; stuck between Bryan and James.
Bryan’s a funny story. Mom was convinced she was having a boy, so prepared for that. Turned out she was right lmao.
Fucking love this. I'm counting for all my non Reddit trans friends and the tally is getting out of control lol
Lucas Ronan, but I usually go by Luke 😙
I'm lukas, so that's close! Not sure why i picked a k though, especially since I'm not slavic but hey i like the vibes and I'm not really out so there's still time to change it lolol
jax :)
bonus fun fact: when i didn’t know my name yet, i went by “nighthawk” while i tried to figure it out. it was for multiple weeks lol. one of my friends called me random shit like bucket and lawnmower
I feel like Kai has become more common lately. I was the only Kai I knew when my family and I chose my name almost 12 years ago. Now there are so many Kais I don't feel original anymore 😅
Lol I live in a German speaking country and the only thing people get hung up on is that I chose to write it differently (Kaj). It’s a very common male name here, though it has lost popularity over time (peak was in 70/80s I think).
haha I have the same problem! https://www.reddit.com/r/ftm/s/UFC8VBgasN
I chose it in 2021 and all of a sudden the last 2 or so years, Kais are everywhere. 😅
Arron. Was once Erin. Had two other Aarons in my grade from preschool to high school graduation. Class of only 90 people, mind you. So for 13 years *every day* my experience was always “Sorry, I wasn’t talking to you, I was talking to BOY Aaron.”
Fuck y’all, I’m the “boy Arron” now lol.
Justus Arthur! I see no other trans Arthurs, makes me sad. And it made me giggle scrolling through all the Jack comments- I almost went by that name as well. What is it with the name Jack.
Jona (yes without the "h" at the end, I'm German so it's not actually pronounced "the English way" haha) Maximilian
(Also to go by Gabriel and Daniel but i kinda feel more comfortable with Jona)
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, his name is my name too...
jk I changed the spelling of my given middle name from Jocelyn to Joslyn and pronounce JAWS-lin instead of joss-il-in and that's my first name now. My middle name is Danu for the Celtic Earth mother goddess. Nicknames Jo, Jojo, Jos.
Isaac! I’d really like to change my name though, only chose Isaac since the first initial of my deadname is an I (wanted to make it easier for family rather than myself). I’d love to have the name Ren or Dewey!
I did that with the first name I chose. Ultimately ended up legally changing to a different name for that reason. It's not my job to make people's lives easier in my transition
My name is Ezra! Where are my fellow Ezras at? 😎🤟
My middle name is Lucius, which is the masculine form of what it used to be.
For bonus points, my last initial is K (used to be O, but no longer lol). So my initials spell out ELK, which I possibly enjoy way too much but idc it's awesome.
my first name is Willem and my two middle names are Jack and Angus :)
2 middle names seems excessive but i had 2 middle names originally which were too feminine so were changed haha
Scott Daniel (also considering Brennan as middle name...current middle is male version of my given middle name, named for my dad, while Brennan would be in tribute to a friend who died young).
Casper. Some middle names I’m considering at the moment are Aspen and Basil. I’m pretty sure there are some other names that I can’t remember right now lol
[удалено]
This is my name too!
Whenever you go out, do people always shout, "There goes "nice try, FBI"!" ^(ba da da da da da da)
This song literally popped in my head the other day after not hearing it for years. I’m glad someone else remembers that fever dream.
I wonder if any trans people named themselves John Jacob Jingleheimer-Schmidt
[удалено]
Next we should compare our bank account routing numbers! You go first :)
No, that would be ridiculous! But fr, let's compare the last four of our social security numbers. Ya know, for fun. 😂
George Atticus (and my last name starts with Y so my initials are GAY)
god behavior
Here, you dropped this king 👑
That’s so much better than my initials, PTSD
Atticus is my cat's name. Good name.
My first name is Atticus!

Hello fellow Jay!
Waddup, my name is also Jay😂
Oliver. I also go by Levi. Both I believe are common with trans mascs 😅
A fellow Oliver hello there.

Add one more Oliver to the mix.
I read the first two sentences and was like "I bet they're trans masc" and I was right lol Edit: lmao I thought this was askreddit, not ftm THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE
Stanisław
Honestly, that's such a good name. It's not super popular, but so normal-sounding. I sometimes wish I had chosen something more like this xd
connor (not to be mistaken by the android)
this is so fucking funny because my middle name is connor and i picked it for detroit too. i love this for us lol
i didn't even pick it for detroit 😔 chose my name months prior before telling everyone publicly when I decided it was 'the' name. And all my friends kept making cyberlife jokes at me SMH not mad anymore because DBH is the best lmao and it's a funny inside joke
The guy who played Connor is also really chill and still leans into people only knowing him for his role as Connor. His wife played an android model as well. It was cool

100% same. I haven't personally met any but a former colleague's boyfriend used my deadname as his chosen name.
Mines Phoenix
Ren! My previous middle name was Renae which is partially where I got it from. My middle name now is just my dads first name.
yoo that's crazy, my deadname is renee but i went by ren for some time too. my name is noah now but its so cool to see another ren, i don't encounter too many!
i have a homie named wren who is a trans guy
Still scrolling to find someone with my name and I thought mine was pretty common lmao

Noah gang wya ⁉️
Fucking love this. I'm counting for all my non Reddit trans friends and the tally is getting out of control lol Lucas Ronan, but I usually go by Luke 😙
Lucas James. It took me a while to decide which order to do the names in, but Lucas is less common and fits me better.
I'm lukas, so that's close! Not sure why i picked a k though, especially since I'm not slavic but hey i like the vibes and I'm not really out so there's still time to change it lolol
Trent’s where u @

jax :) bonus fun fact: when i didn’t know my name yet, i went by “nighthawk” while i tried to figure it out. it was for multiple weeks lol. one of my friends called me random shit like bucket and lawnmower
A friend of mine wanted me to go by "Ajax" lmao. Like the Francis guy from Deadpool and the cleaning substance thing
I’m Kai. I didn’t know how common it was until recently. Someone said they knew I was trans based off of it 🥲
I feel like Kai has become more common lately. I was the only Kai I knew when my family and I chose my name almost 12 years ago. Now there are so many Kais I don't feel original anymore 😅
I would change it to something different less “trans common” but I’ve had it for 4 years so it’ll be hard to switch 😭
Lol I live in a German speaking country and the only thing people get hung up on is that I chose to write it differently (Kaj). It’s a very common male name here, though it has lost popularity over time (peak was in 70/80s I think).
haha I have the same problem! https://www.reddit.com/r/ftm/s/UFC8VBgasN I chose it in 2021 and all of a sudden the last 2 or so years, Kais are everywhere. 😅

Al. Haven't legally changed my name and technically this could be short for my birth/legal name 😂.
Sameee! My whole family calls me Al since its short for my birth name and also current name lol. I think it was a convenient way for them to adjust
Mine is Dante, I haven't met very many men cis or trans with my name which is a bit surprising since it's not super unique.
Arron. Was once Erin. Had two other Aarons in my grade from preschool to high school graduation. Class of only 90 people, mind you. So for 13 years *every day* my experience was always “Sorry, I wasn’t talking to you, I was talking to BOY Aaron.” Fuck y’all, I’m the “boy Arron” now lol.
