Short version, I wanna change my names (first and middle two) sometime this year to something more audibly enby. I have a bunch of stuff I think sounds neat, but is that all it needs?

Like it feels fake at some level, or like an affectation. I don't know what names resonate with me or if they're even supposed to. I feel like this is a common experience so maybe I could get some advice?

I do want names that stand out, but also ones that don't make me sound full of myself, but...also need something that resonates with me and I'm so confused and lost i-spil-my-jice

I saw mine written on a T shirt and thought "Huh. Neat" and now it's mine

I also have a different nickname which I use sometimes. I got it earlier this week after my grandfather had a brain fart and called me it out of nowhere. I liked it so I kept it. I'm not out to him and I have no idea where he got the name from

Yeah that's probably the best way of doing it, just find something I think sounds neat

idk why it was so easy for me compared to other people but like... it just stuck on the ways that other names didn't? if you want to take more time with picking one out then go for it
