Your Guy Name (ftm)

[sexotik]

I dunno if I can comment since the thread was "explcitly" entitled FTM only, but I just wanna make some comments, (I hope no one gets angry)

I used to get so annoyed by my fiancee and her bff calling me Ronald McDonald that I added an O to make them stop and to be Mexican lol.
Ronaldo Hector John.
Hector cuz I just like it.

lol, you did not say that you added an "o" to be Mexican. There are lots of people in Latinamerica who are called Ronaldo. According to the last survey there were 2,265,895 so you'd make the 2,265,896.

The pronunciation would be /ronaldo/ the final sound like the o in horse and not /ronaldou/. Hey, if you want to be Mexican you need to learn how to pronounce your name. And hector would be "ector" no "h" sound cuz the letter "h" and its sound in Spanish are mute. That's what we're taught in school.

Dennis is a cool name.

I've liked the name Walter since I was little, after being friends with a very smart, very blond kid named Walter. Don't have too much memories of him beyond being friends with him and him being smart. Just liked the way the name sounds and flows, I guess.

You look like a Walter, I don't know what they look like but you look like one. If I don't know what walters look like and you happen to look like one, then walters look like you. (tonguetwister). I like how the name sounds.

My name at birth was Courtney Paige. Ugh. Always seemed to have some connotation of a cheerleader bimbo or something, which I was definitely NOT.

lol. Glad you're happy with your new name.

What does "Ze" stand for? I looked it up but found no entry. I opened a similar thread in another section but can't remember where Ze came from.

I guess I'll stick with "Ze." It's a little easier to remember.

I haven't been around much so I'm a little late to this thread, but I didn't choose my name - it chose me. When I first came out and cut off all my hair and looked in the mirror, my reaction was basically "oh, hello Daniel - so that's who you are and where you have been hiding!" and I just knew that was my name. It wasn't till afterwards that I remembered the connection with the story of Daniel in the lion's den (which is kind of a very apt metaphor for my life), and also the character of Daniel in Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" - Daniel is the manifestation of the Dream (which is also very appropriate for my situation as a transguy). And Daniel Jackson is one of my favourite SG-1 characters, quite a lot like me personality-wise (although my son would argue that and say I am more like Jack O'Neill :D) Oh yeah, and of course there's Daniel Johns from Silverchair (I have liked Silverchair's music since they were little 14 year olds LOL, now I feel old!)

What about Daniel The Menace? This is a cool story of how your name chose you and not the other way around.
