tanadrin:

i wonder if the names trans people pick tend to track the naming trends of their age cohort, the naming trends of people being born around that time, or if they follow a completely different trend. and how that compared to cis people changing their first names.

    Apparently my name is pretty common among my age cohort, but I did not care about that at all when I picked it xD

Several people I’ve spoken to have though! They expressed a lot of joy in the experience of researching baby names from the year they were born and talking to their parents about alternative names they considered for them
  12. xcsthctiics said: I picked [my name] because it was a particularly fitting childhood nickname given to me by a friend. It doesn’t go with any naming conventions, apparently, except that it’s somewhat popular for a dog name.

    I picked a name that peaked at around 1940, largely because my deadname was a really popular baby name circa 2000 so...

    My first name is just a name I thought was cool and my middle name is what my mom would’ve named me if I was afabed.
