It's unfair that western cultures don't really allow name changes and insist on gendered names. I like the inuit naming tradition, where a child gets the name of the last person who died. The name itself never dies that way, the person lives ob in a really interesting way, but not as a gender. A little girl could be proud to the strong huntsman in an old picture. But there really should be more name changing rituals in western culture. Kids should get to choose a new name when they start school, for their confirmation, at all sorts of important occasions in life. It is hard to change a name in some places, but here if you want to call yourself just about anything a person can think up, it's a one stop shopping experience and they go and change all the names you have in the database. If you want a different gender name, so what, if you want to have a really weird and screwed up name that reflects your childhood, so what, if you want to have a Rip Rock like name, nobody cares, go do it. Simple form to fill out, check the boxes that apply like where the old name is that you can think of, and there you go, a stop at the DL place which is likely in the same building if not a desk across the aisle and get your new DL. Birth certificates are changed, all legal references are changed where they can, some stay because of court cases and that, but you can get some of those changed anyways. Marriage license, divorce case, Happy Birthday songs, it all changes except some of the odd things you need to change, the electric bill, the name on your mailbox, stuff that you can easily do. Republicans and evangelical weirdos who like to up in everyonmes ass's complained and said what about this or what if someone was hiding from the govt, or what if what if what if, and yet not one of those things has been a problem. There are some very odd names now, but no worse than vanity plates for your car. But then republicans and up in your ass religious losers went ahead and changed some of their names because they were sick of people calling them asshole all the time, which I think is their real names to begin with. I think some of the prominent people of wealth who ran into serious trouble with the law changed their names because of it, same with felons, but then your old name is held for that kind of stuff in the database so they can track you down, especially if you are rich, they need to track you down if you are the kind who fund republican idiotices so you can steal from the poor so you can brag at your place in Florida where you hang out on weekends and call your southern Whitehouse.

I always wished that my name was more gender neutral for as long as I could remember, and I never really understood why that was so significant to me until recently. My birth name can be shortened to "Mel" which, if you are over 50 might be gender neutral but no one my generation recognises it as anything other than feminine.
One thing I also wish is that gender-neutral names weren't all so American. Whenever I hear gender-neutral names they have a very specific culture associated with them. I guess it's because the US is more accepting of modern names?
I kind of don't feel like any name suits me. I do like how some trans try and name other people, I guess that would be interesting to test, to see if someone can give me a name that feels right...

We're still the melting pot of names, and it becomes more all the time. People hear have been on this thing of using the weirdest ways to spell name, and then there is the totally made up ones that are also spelled weird. I think Paynoot would be right, maybe sorta, could be I suppose. Here you can have names from just the usual things around us and things in other places in the world. I know a person named Breezy because it is one off from the name Wendy. Some of the names I hear or read are pretty much sounding like some brand of something, like a drug... prescription drug...
