Shit dude what the hell I legit chose the name Aiden and wanna dress up all the time now I’m rethinking my life and name and shit
I mean there is nothing wrong with the name Aiden (or Brayden, Hayden, Kaiden, or any of its other variants). I mean if someone calls out “Aiden!” at philly trans health conference half the room will turn around but the same thing is true of rationalists and ‘Michael’, so…
I just… IS THERE SOME SOCIOLOGICAL REASON WHY ALL TRANSMASCS WISH TO BE NAMED ‘AIDEN’
DO MEN REALLY LIKE THE NAME ‘AIDEN’ AND MOST OF THEM DON’T GET TO PICK THEIR OWN NAMES AND HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH LIFE BEING NAMED ‘MICHAEL’
SHOULD I NAME ANY SONS I HAVE ‘AIDEN’
Then there’s the way all trans women are either ‘Zoe’ or some kind of /Al+[eiy].+/

pervocracy said: A lot of baby boys are named Aiden (or were a year or two ago) so maybe it’s just the way that the general zeitgeist of “hmm, what’s a good male name?” converges.

bophtelophti said: I mean it’s probably mostly just because Aiden has become a *really* popular name for the past 8 years or so. Over 0.3% of male babies are named Aiden, that’s huge. And the trends that influence people choosing names for their babies are the same trends that influence people choosing their own names. And its popularity is recent, so adults named Aiden are disproportionally ones who chose their own names recently.- pervocracy liked this

funereal-disease said: The -den names are pretty gender-neutral; perhaps it’s easier to choose a more ambiguous name at the start of one’s transition.
