Mildred is a fucking great name. Airyn is a bit rougher, but in general I feel that us trans femmes have absolutely nothing on trans mascs who really do go wild with their names or end up as one of the 75% of trans guys called Ryland, or a variation thereof.
It’s funny because I’ve seen almost the exact opposite; Trans femmes are choosing beautiful gorgeous names that fit them perfectly. Then trans mascs are just like “oh hey, I’m Steve.”
To be fair, when someone's a Steve, they're a Steve. There's just no faking it. Good on those trans-men for recognizing it.
I know several females who should definitely be called Dave
I would love to know a trans masc called Steve. I do know multiple Haydn and Rylan though! Most of the trans femmes I know either pick a perfectly fine normal name or they are a flower. So many Rose.
"I... Am Steve."
Is Mildred old enough to make a come back yet? In my mind it's lumped in with names from about 70-100 years ago, along with Gladys, Ethel, and Phyllis. I guess Millie sounds ok, but Airyn sounds way better to me
Airyn sounds like Aaron though.
Or Erin
There's a very famous (in certain circles) trans singer named ethel
Looks like not yet.
(I personally chose a name that I thought of as a bit old-timey, but it turned out that it's been a fairly popular baby name the last few years.)
Not Kai?
Ahhh, I knew I was forgetting the third in the trinity of trans guy names
This is *ayden erasure
Trans guys please stop bullying me because of your taste in names 😭
I think Mildred is too much like mildew to be a great idea buuut that's my opinion so do what you want with it
Mildew is clearly a trans femme non-binary name though
(I know this because it strikes me as neat - swamp witch vibes)
