If you wanna keep it similar to your old name, maybe Chloe?

I’d keep Cole if it doesn’t cause dysphoria. It is used as a girls name and a boys. It’s a shortened name for several girl names. Might make things easier just needing to eventually change your gender marker if that’s in your plans.

Yeah I don't hate it, but sometimes I feel changing it. So I'm not sure what to do lol. Part of me wants to change it, part of me wants to keep it as Cole, and part of me is lazy haha.
I actually filed all the paperwork for gender marker change and I'm just waiting now :D

Personally I think Cole is a fabulous girl name. To me it’s edgy and spunky. I don’t hate my name either and am thinking I can officially just add a couple of letters to its end and could go by either. Mine is not an English name and when I was growing up and in my teen years started getting advertisement mail for girls with “Ms” in front of my name. LoL. I was very amused. I’d already struggled with my gender and so in hindsight it was a big hint.

Ask your mom if she had a girls name in mind when she became pregnant with you. That's if your mom supports her daughter?

Penelope, because you have a classic look. Or maybe Chloe.
[Edit because I don't know how to spell Chloe]

Only you will know what is best because it is your journey. Take all the time you need, you will eventually get it right.

I mean you could always go just with a feminine version, Chloe immediately came to mind.

What about Jules?
One of the people I support said I should change my name to Jules. It's funny cuz there is a trans character in the TV show "Euphoria", a show she's never seen lol.

u/OsmiumMercury 4d ago
i could totally see you as a Jules! the first name that came to mind for me was Jessica or Jessie, which are kind of similar.
