I have a slightly funny story about trying a Starbucks name. I was going to test out an alternate spelling of my birth name and it went kind of sideways. I asked the barista to use (not my real name here, just an example) "Eli with a y" (i.e. Ely), and it came back "Yli" 😂 sometimes Starbucks takes fate into its own hands, but you can get .. interesting options out of it.

Me: "My name's Evan" Starbucks: "Frappuccino for Evie?"

For me, I don’t hate my birth name. In fact, it’s so unique that no one else has one like it. But I’ve been trying to tell myself that it could only refer to me because it’s so unique, and it doesn’t feel right anymore. Every time I tell someone my given name, they always tell me how pretty it is. It’s been that way my whole life. As a kid, I was proud of the fact that I had such a unique name, but now, I think I’ve grown tired of it. It is a pretty name, it’s just a name that should be somewhere else now. It deserves a host that will love it forever. My middle name is very generic and average, but it’s also feminine, so if I do change my name, I need to change my middle name too. I think I like Kay as my first name. Who likes Kay?

I changed my name a couple years ago. But I feel like it's too personal and weird to have as a legal name. So, I've been wrecking my brain trying to find a new 'official' name. I hate still having my birth name everywhere. 🤔

I am still discovering myself as a non-binary person. And I feel like I have no right to have a new name. I don't hate my birth name, I'm used to it, however, I never felt like it was me. I know when they speak they are redirecting me. It's just weird, I remember being at school and writing my name over and over on paper because it didn't feel real, it didn't feel like mine. I think about my mother a lot, I know she chose that name with affection, it's a very beautiful name, it's just... it doesn't sound like me.

I'm a writer and I find it's really easy to pick names for my characters, but when it comes to picking my pen name and my own name, I find it so much harder.

I'll try this. Since there is no Starbucks near i will try with my frnd. I love to be called as 'Sam'. Lets see it will work or not.

Not a Starbucks near me, but there's a burrito place where you can name your burrito, and for takeaway they call out the name of your burrito. I definitely used it multiple times to try out a name or to get my daily dose of euphoria now that I've chosen one.

I'm slowly transitioning to using my first initial only (switched my email name, name at the gym, email signature). I wondered if you might be willing to talk about choosing to have your channel say A. Wylde instead of Atlas?

I got a weird euphoria from this video, not even sure if it's gender euphoria. Ether way, thank you for making these awesome content, they helped me so much.

Here’s another way to try names for nerdy people: trying your new name with a dnd character has been super helpful for me.

Okay so I'm struggling a bit. I came out a couple months ago as Dani which was my new name, my brother also uses Danny as a nickname but said he was cool with it until lately when he asked me if I could change my name. Before choosing Dani I has took into consideration that it felt weird to me that me and him would be going by the same type of thing- though he was trying to use a more professional nickname. When I got okay with it with reassurance from my mom and sibling that it was cool, I took some time and came out to the rest of my siblings. I just got used to Dani and now I need to pick a new name and no other name seems to fit so I've been nameless for maybe a month and I'm stuck here. He keeps asking for updates as he doesn't want me to be used to the name Dani (other siblings still call me that as I don't want to confuse them if I don't have a new name) or other people to be used to it that it's hard to start using another name when I choose one.. I'm non binary, more masculine but don't want a wayyy to masculine sharp sounding name. here's my list but idk about any of them: Ash, Billie, Riley, Devyn, Eli, Blue, August

If I change my name again, it'll be the third time I've changed it. That's fine, but the two names I've gone by before have lasted for months before I changed them so I feel kinda bad that everyone might have to adjust again

Hi. Question. I'm 13 and nonbinary. I can't really go to Starbucks on my own to try out some new names, and the only person I really feel comfortable asking to do this is my sister, and I just recently came out as nonbinary and don't want to ask more of her. Any suggestions?

Also video games and discord servers

I used tip 2, and i got my best friend to call me my new name, Onyx. I love it so far and i have been being called it for a few days now. I chose her because she is so patient with me constantly switching names. Its hard when your genderfluid.

Well, I'm not even into Starbucks. (Also I can't go out because anxiety) :(

When I came out as a she/they person, I changed my name to Archer. When I tried out they/she I changed it to Devon, I felt it better. But NOW, after over a year, I don't identify with it anymore, I feel like a they/them, and I don't want to change it again because I feel like I'll annoy everyone because I keep changing it AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The ending message meant a lot to me, it makes me feel a little more assured in this process. Thank you 💕

What would you do when it comes to changing your name at work if you aren’t ready to legally change your name but want your new name on your work name tag ?

I'm loving my name my 1yr anniversary is coming up

thank you for this!

Thanks this video is really helpful. Im genderfluid and my name is Kim but when im habing days wear i feel more like a man sometimes Kim just doesnt feel right so I'm trying to figure out the name I want to go by on those days. I'm thinking Kam or Kameron but idk which one id rather have and if either of then are really the name i wanna go by. I do wanna experiment with this more when im an adult and have other friends and maybe even partners I can try using these names with but for now I just feel like i dont have a lot of options for experimenting with names and I'm just not really comfortable doing that just yet

i rushed it and am still unsure but everyone is calling me the name i told them to and i asked my teachers and the office all to change it and idk what to do...i dont not like the name i guess..?

How do you know if your non-bionary,demi-girl,agender etc. Because people say what feels right but idk. Also what do you do if your young and can't go in starbucks

Bro i am att a small vilage where no shops near say you’r name

I never knew I was non binary I always considered myself a gender bender lol

💕

Atlas? So your real name is Frank Fontaine?

Nice

I don't want to change my name, because I still kinda like my real one because its rare and unique, though it is feminine. I am between Nova, Mist, and Storm so far.

I love Starbucks

Ur a drop kick

What's the next step? Some serious couch time with a therapist, sunshine!
