How to choose a new name or surname ?

All credits to me 🥹

Intro ::

Picking a name or surname that you like but not like you'd give it to your child, you must want to wear this name and people calling you by it for the rest of your life.

Two Methods

+ Alternatives methods

+ Ressources and tips

Ressources ::

- Any dictionary of your native language.

- [Behind The Name] (the best so far, great filters)

- Any baby names website of your desires culture and language.

— Search up "baby names ideas" in your native language, edit it at your leisure (ex. baby girl names with 美)

- [The Bump Baby Name Generator] (good filters)

- [Baybi.co] (surname is required, good filters) [AI]

- [Baybi.co Ensure You Have The Perfect Name] (fun to try) [AI]

- [Babynames.com] (easy to use but can be confusing)

- [Name berry baby name quiz] (fun quiz that can at least help you know what kind of names you life, too centered on westerns names tho)

- [forebears.io] (large datas and extremely good)

１ Method ::

Take a deep breath and/or meditate for a bit and now let a name "come to you", this is how connection and destiny work.

Now imagine people calling you that, do you like it ? Do you want people to call you that name ? Can you imagine people calling you that for the rest of your life and growing up with ? Do you feel something when you imagine someone calling you by this name ?

If OK then you got yours congrats! You can also retry.

Now LOOK AT THE MEANING and boom you got your pretty name with the prettiest meaning.

２ Method ::

Think about story of your life, the story of your future or maybe past life (the one that you want to leave behind or the spiritual one hehe) or adjectives you'd describe yourself as and look up similar to same meaning in your desired language.

Something that is meaningful to you and your person, to whatever story you have or never had.

Make sure to check if it's an actual name, carrying an unique name or one labeled as "weird or forbidden" can be hard.

Alternatives Methods ::

Methods I've seen used by other esu and in general people, may this inspire you.

If indecisive these tricks could also help you as you would like to make a list of the names you're already thinking of.

— Ask your parents or family to pick a name in your desired language, this is like a rebirth !

— Ask your parents or family which name they'd have given you if you were from this culture or different gender.

— Search up the top 100 or 50 most popular names with meaning the year/decade/era you were born or during your time in the belly of your mother.

— Research about fairytales and folklore stories in your desired culture and name yourself after your favourite character in it.

— You may honor your younger self and choose the name of their favourite character, person, thing, place, OC or simply name !

— Research about your culture's tradition of name giving, it may be crucial and new knowledge is fun!

— Think about the name you always wanted simply, it can start with a letter or character you like already !

— If you're religious, search up a figure in your beliefs that you like the story of or the name.

— In general, search up any figure (can be historical or fictional) from your culture or that you appreciate regardless of the culture and invest yourself into their story or name.

— Name yourself after someone from your family or ancestors from your culture.

- Find a name that is still lovely to the ear paired with your surname.

- Choose a name depending on the vibe you want to give of, your ambitions in life or the ambitions the person who named you has on you, the initials you already like or preferred nicknames !

Additional tips ::

— REMEMBER TO ALWAYS ALWAYS LOOK UP FOR MEANING!!!! DON'T FORGET THIS PART, for some of the methods I listed it's CRUCIAL, you don't want to have a goofy name and be mocked upon.

— It's okay to have a name that don't originate from your culture/language, it is very common and you shouldn't feel forced to have a traditional name if you prefer western names.

— If you are mixed, you don't need a name for each of your cultures. Just as many as you want is okay, it's not because your middle name isn't from this culture that you are disconnected to it ❕

— You can choose multiples names at once and it's also very common, I mean not too much through unless you're a monarch❔

You just need to be okay with the fact that it'd be your name for the rest of your life so you gotta choose wisely !

And lastly please don't rush, you seriously have time, you are still young, the time will carry your wise and desireful experience.

がんばってね〜 🍀

TransID loveliessss I have a questionnnnn

I feel like we keep using "transrace" as an umbrella term for trans ethnicity, trans race, trans nationality, & trans culture, and it is causing us to forget what race means.... and that's important!!

SO! What acronym or term would you say would be a good catchall?

T-CREN? (trans culture, race, ethnicity, nationality)

T-RENC?

is there another term we are forgetting that should add a letter in here? do we add an A for everyone who is a- any of these categories?

idk I just feel it'd be nice language for the community to have to really bring us closer together... lmk!

COINING POST

(first one ever be nice!)

TENREC+

(poorly explained under the cut!)

TENREC+ is a movement started within the radqueer & adjacent community to unify, organize, & help educate people of similar transIDs!

These transIDs are but not limited to;

transrace, transethnicity, transnationality, translanguage, transculte, & anything similar!

Why?

Because the transID community right now is largely divided & unorganized in a way to foster any bigger community & I think it comes at a detriment to the discussions & work we could be having/doing.

I hope with this umbrella label we can:

• become closer as a community (allies included)

• become more educated on these topics (even members in the community)

• facillitate more healthy discussions around this topic

• unify as a group of similar individuals under the wider community to share our similar experiences & fight for one another

• make it easier for people to understand us

• help erase a lot of the misinformation & uneducated rhetoric passing around our community spaces

• Help push for wider acceptance

and more!:)

BESIDES being a term we can all unify under, what does this movement push for?

This movement pushes for more education & "wokeness" in TENREC+ spaces.

Right now it is common place to go onto any one of these tags & see someone acting in a way that is ignorant & somtimes even harmful out of pure ignorance - & it gives us a bad look as a community.

If you wanna be any one of these transIDs you cannot run into wider discussions around different cultures, languages, race in general, etc like a bull in a china shop! You need to be educated on these things.

And a lot of us are! But this movement pushes for a more woke & educated approach to engaging in these communities.

(mainly actually understanding race theory but other stuff too ykyk?)

-

This movement is largely centred around looking at all the conversations today with colourism, racism, texturism, xenophobia, etc, reading & understanding the theory on that, and then applying it to our communities & how we go about existing in them & advocating for them!

We do belong in this sphere, but having the right to be here doesn't mean we don't have to educate ourselves & put in the work to advocate for ourselves and others!

This movement not only is to unify us as similar people under one subgroup, but also to unify us with people in the larger groups of this cis or trans.

We don't want to work alone remaking for example race theory but include us - we want to work off of what is already there & create new theory & discussion to push for the acceptance of TENREC+ people, & cisID folk..

We are a community all together, and not just the trans ones.

I hope this makes sense?

I may be , having delusions of grandeur here. But I have beautiful dreams for our communities.

Unity for us as a subgroup & us as a larger group - all culminating in genuine activism & research & literature & theory being made & discussed around these topics. That is what TENREC+ standa for.

Why the term TENREC plus?

Originally coined on the soon to be privated @transrace-central , when an alter posted "what would you call the overarching label for these very similar groups?"

There were a few terms floated, Trans - narionality, race, ethnicity (translanguage frivolously forgotten by accident) - making different acronyms likes T-CREN or T-RENC.

Morally-yikes-ig replied with "transgenus is similar!" which - it is! But not quite what was being looked for + acronyms are fun.

That is when verymanyrats reblogged with a photo of a species named TENREC & said "name it TENREC" which was enjoyed for the whimsy.

-

Now; the term is TENREC+ - because there are letters missing of the acronym that was made from fun & whimsy for the joy of it all.

Anyways! Hope any of this made sense! I am bad at explaining things when I am in head spaces like this and I really want it to be open ended enough for community folk to add of of course! uhmm and yea sorry

i hope nobody was offended by the, "get woker" stance of the. post. i just think we all need to get woker.

And this movement only has this so far, I am sure more will be added on with the wind or something but really I want it to be bare bones yk? Like no contact stances or somethinv because this is a movement not a dni list idk.. But yea! I hope any of this made sense lmk what everyone thinks.

hello! i see there is a nullID on this blog for when one feel like one SHOULDN’T be dutch, but i feel like i SHOULD be dutch, and can’t find anything relating to this (might just not be looking hard enough, if this is already a thing, please let me know i don’t seem stupid..) so if it is okay, could one be made for when one feels they SHOULD be dutch? /nf

hi, sorry for the late reply, we wanted to make this flag turn out extra nice for our extra nice requester <3 so here is:

TransDutch

when you feel like you should be dutch when you aren't for whatever reason! this is a transID but can be used however one fits in good faith <3

flag meanings:

i wanted to make the transdutch flag i'd make to symbolize something more happy, more joyous, more wonderful, than our gloomy-colored nulldutch flag, since for us nulldutch represents our trauma and grief connection to being dutch.

the colors are based off the netherlands flag, but somewhat brighter because of our intent to make this more happy than nulldutch!

the shaded stripes being slightly different in shade from the main colors are meant to symbolize transID experiences, like if one doesn't feel entirely true to their transdutch identity yet because they haven't been able to transition to their desired intensity as much, or like how transIDs often fluctuate (due to dysphoria/euphoria, feeling more like 'you' one day and feeling less the next, etc), and any other experiences that fit this general theme!

the yellow stripe symbolizes dutch culture; the yellow-painted (horribly painful might i say, sobs) wooden clogs, the sun rising from the horizon near dutch windmills, cheese (and the gripes on how gouda [cheese] isn't pronounced "good-a" at all, i mean /silly) and other dutch exports and other common dutch consumable items, the tulips and how all the pictures of tulip fields by windmills are faked because tulips never reside this close to windmills at all especially not keukenhof-level tulip fields hehe which are nowhere close to popular windmill fields, the vanilla cream getting messy in the most amazing way while eating tompouce at king's day, and all the joy surrounding trans(ID) joy and being yourself <3

i hope you have a nice day, anon! see you (again)!
