What would my name be if I were transgendered?
I’m 100% cisgendered, so I’m not sure why I’m thinking about this. Maybe because I like names, or in case I ever write a male version of myself into a story. Because I have the mind of a scientist, I seem to be thinking of possible names in categories. (Obviously I’m only thinking of names that I like.)
Names that are similar to mine/also start with M
-Malcolm (yeah, like Mal Reynolds…but I think the name sounds distinguished)
-Melo (nickname for Guglielmo; also a family name, but the real Melo was a douchebag, so I’ll keep the name up here)
-Matthew (I know it’s common, but I like it)
-Magnus (a name used in Matilda, which was my favorite book for a while)
-Mendel (because I’m a genetics geek)
-Montgomery (because it just sounds awesome)
-Mark (because I’m somewhat of a RENThead)
-Mordecai (yay old-fashioned names)
Family names/Italian names
-Anthony/Antonio (if it weren’t taken by my little brother already!)
-Giacinto (my great-grandpa…why the hell did he change his name to Charles Lewis!?!?)
-Enzo (shortened form of “Vincenzo” and a model of Ferrari)
-Gianni (Italian version of “John” and the reason why there are Joes and Johns in my family)
-Guido (yes, from Cars, don’t judge me)
-Marco (I just like it)
Georgian and Victorian names
-Wesley
-Zachariah
-Zebulon (it’s a real freaking name, I promise, look it up)
-Levi
-Balthazar
-Asher
-Oliver
-Carlisle (say “Twilight” and I’ll slap you)
-Micah
-Alonzo (yeah, from the musical Cats)
Random names I just like
-Devin
-Axel
-Daniel
-Benjamin (this is not because I’m a Sweeney Todd fan!)
-Erik
-Kyle
-Tyler (what if I changed my name to Tyler House? haha)
-Carmine
-Sawyer
Whoa, I put way more thought into that than I should have. *looks over list* Hm…I like having an alliterative name, and I think it’d be really cool to have a fully Italian name, so I’d probably be Marco Maranto if I were trans. And I like “Sawyer” for a middle name. Or maybe “Zebulon” just to get a reaction out of people, or “Carmine” to preserve the initials MCM. Yeah. Marco Carmine Maranto. Cool name.
