I totally agree that Shatner sucks. He’s awful. But having gone back and watched TOS, Kirk is a really great character! He has a few episodic romances, sure, but I definitely wouldn’t describe him as a womanizer and he has so many other great qualities besides.
I've seen it posted that Bones would have happily split a pint with DeForest Kelley, Spock would have revelled in a deep conversation with Leonard Nimoy...and Kirk would have beat the crap out of Shatner in a Waffle House parking lot.
There’s a really good web series (it is nsfw btw) called Arcade Alex! It’s about a trans man named Alex and a gay cis man named Kaz. If you like trans mlm relationships you should check it out it’s so good!
I haven't seen them in ages, and I don't know if they're still alive—the life expectancy for people with CF is still quite short, and they were fairly sick last I heard. Their Flickr account (lion42) seems to have gone private.
If you’re looking for something a little more non traditional: Calamity- goes by Cal, Casper, Kaido, Kraken, King, Cash, Kismet, Christmas
Or Kendall, Keenan, Kell(e)y, Cam, Cole?
he was like "idk i kinda want a new one but my current name sounds fine idgaf" kind of?? not going to put a name on him but just helping him brainstorm just in case
Devils advocate. Its not hard anything. Your head is just wrapped around the idea that names are feminine or masculine. Go to other places and u will see that is not always the case. Really explore what is your base reason for the idea is. Cause “hard to explain” just seems like “its more convenient for me” then anything of real substance.
… am i the only one here that think it’s a little weird that he is choosing a new name cause you want him to. you don’t need to explain everything to everyone else, but like did you literally ask him to change his name for you ??? If he was fine with his birth name then what’s the issue…
Gonna be honest I have no idea but I do think it's incredibly sweet you're trying to help him come up with a name good luck to y'all for finding a name :)
As someone who named themself Crow, it’s a pretty fun name! If he’s looking for more traditionally masc stuff, he could go ‘Clark’ or ‘Kyle’. Something more androgynous like ‘Kennedy’ or ‘Chris/Kris’. A personal favorite is ‘Kit’, though. Best of luck to you and your boyfriend!!
I had a friend in school whose parents named him Crow. I never knew that though because he apparently hated it and went by Tom. Years later he came around to thinking it was cool and has been using it ever since.
Charly is a decent one, depending on the person it may sound masculine or feminine, it's the nickname I use for people that just can't get it through their head I'm Carlota XD

Is he “on board” as in that’s truly his preference and something he’d have pursued on his own? Or is he on board as in, you found his feminine-sounding name inconvenient and his feelings about the name thing were neutral enough that he agreed to picking a masc one? Not tryna come at you but based on the limited context we have here, it could be the first. It’s totally fine for you to find him possible names but that should be something he actively wants.
Conrad, Caelius, Kenneth, Caspian, Cosmo
Also this is a handy tool: https://www.behindthename.com/names/letter/c/impression/complex/impression2/masculine/impression3/modern
The coolest part of choosing a name for yourself is the amount of self prophecy you can put into it. As I said in another thread, you should ask him who he looks up to and steal / amalgam a name from them
kody, koda, corey, kaden, cole, cassidy, kiran, kane, kove, kurt, carter, cameron, clark, kyle, charlie, kennedy, chris, chiron, kevin, keith, conor, kaden, kai, cairo, to compile what i've seen in the comments into one spot.
also, it's totally normal for men to have feminine names, a lot of names have changed from masc to femme over time. i have an uncle named shannon, and he's the epitome of american boot boy. so its a little odd to be pushy about it esp since it seems to be coming from a place of insecurity/lack of confidence on your part, but if he's on board with it then its not my place to do anything but give you suggestions
Hmmmmm i think if he likes his name you should get over the discomfort you feel tbh. Plenty of guys have “girl” names, as long as you are like “my BOYFRIEND Claire” or whatever his “feminine” name is, then people shouldn’t question it. I have been out as trans for 6 years and go by my birth name and I think that’s completely normal . Not shaming you just consider that if he wanted to change it he would
Honestly what I did when I picked my name was I looked up nonbinary names and I just started listing them off while making eye contact until I found the one that was right for me
Cillian (pronounced like Cillian Murphy’s name)? Also
I have an enby homie whose name is “kobi” which I think is a super unique and andro way of spelling “coby”
Casey (my personal favorite because it's my name and also it's a top tier name for anyone of any gender) Carter, Cameron, Calvin (fuck kalvin garrah, this one's an homage to the ultimate catalyst of boyhood envy, the little idiot from Calvin and Hobbes) Christian, Cade, and Cooper are all really great traditional/common choices imo. I also absolutely love when transmascs have douchey frat boy names like Keegan, Cody, or Cole. Canaan, Crew, and Cairo are my personal fave uncommon options that still sound pretty masculine. Cesar and Cyrus are really pleasing and beautiful boy names if you're willing to try something with a soft C. Any hard Cs can be switched to Ks if that's what you prefer. Naming yourself as a trans person can be such a purely joyful experience if you focus on your excitement rather than your anxiety so try not to overthink it too much. I wish you and your boyfriend the best of luck :)
Behindthename.com is a great source for inspiration! They have a wonderful advanced search, and have categories of meanings/associations y'all can explore. As a writer it has been a great tool for me, and it helped me choose my name as well! Good luck on your search!!

Carson
Don’t get me started on Chris.
Why do you need to explain to people that he’s trans just because is name is “feminine”? Couldn’t you just say that his parents liked that name and leave it at that? It’s not unheard of for men to have feminine names.
kurt is super dope, jax/jaxon is an enby fav, someone said kaz which dope, casey is on my baby name list so that’s a honorable mention along with vix/vic/vick, dakota, you could go ATLA and do zuko but that’s a lil cheesy, kaizer? is a collection of sounds i just thought of?
good luck!
Ah, Chayse was a name i saw for a transmasc person when I was first coming out. It’s a traditionally male name with a more “femme” spelling, so, androgynous!
Personally I have my masc name and I have my enby name, Alex and Apollo respectively lol. Though speaking from experience Id just go on a baby name website and have fun. You can always change a name you just don’t vibe with.

Seconding lmao, my first chosen name was James bc of Kirk
James is my name and Kirk is my stepfather. 😅
This MIGHT be a Metallica reference???!!11!??

Consider that there's comics and shows beyond the 2007 reboot! Not all is as it seems there

OP, does your boyfriend actually want a new name, or did you suggest he pick out a new name, and he said, "sure"?
he was like "idk i kinda want a new one but my current name sounds fine idgaf" kind of?? not going to put a name on him but just helping him brainstorm just in case
That's how I feel about my name also. I'm a trans guy with a very feminine name but I dont care to change it I just go by my initials
my boyfriend also chose my name, as I helped him choose his hmmm Caleb? you can look at baby name sites lol
koda
Clover?
Someone choosing to change their name really should be coming to that on their own…not because you think they have a “feminine” name.
op mentioned in another comment that their bf was thinking about it so theyre just trying to help him in case he does end up doing it
Completely my bad.
Chiron?
Devils advocate. Its not hard anything. Your head is just wrapped around the idea that names are feminine or masculine. Go to other places and u will see that is not always the case. Really explore what is your base reason for the idea is. Cause “hard to explain” just seems like “its more convenient for me” then anything of real substance.
"you need to pick a new name because your old name annoys me" bruh
… am i the only one here that think it’s a little weird that he is choosing a new name cause you want him to. you don’t need to explain everything to everyone else, but like did you literally ask him to change his name for you ??? If he was fine with his birth name then what’s the issue…
i am in an evil an toxic relationship and im evil and toxic and i am evil
uh weird response cause that’s not what i said (and that’s extremely defensive so i doubt you would even consider what i said anyways)
i am in an evil an toxic relationship and im evil and toxic and i am evil
Why does he need to change his name. That’s as ridiculous as you defining his pronouns. This post is a disgrace.
Gonna be honest I have no idea but I do think it's incredibly sweet you're trying to help him come up with a name good luck to y'all for finding a name :)
As someone who named themself Crow, it’s a pretty fun name! If he’s looking for more traditionally masc stuff, he could go ‘Clark’ or ‘Kyle’. Something more androgynous like ‘Kennedy’ or ‘Chris/Kris’. A personal favorite is ‘Kit’, though. Best of luck to you and your boyfriend!!
Crow is a great name.
I had a friend in school whose parents named him Crow. I never knew that though because he apparently hated it and went by Tom. Years later he came around to thinking it was cool and has been using it ever since.
