I won't lie, I've only ever used these message boards as a joke. However, I would genuinely like someone's opinion on this. I've been looking for a male French name to replace my extremely French middle name (which is sandwiched between an extremely French first name and extremely French last name), since going with the theme seems to be the only way to make things sound decent. My first name is Amelie and I want to begin to present and introduce myself as a man, but don't think I want to entirely get rid of my first name for logistical reasons. So, I thought I'd change my middle name and go by that in social contexts, if not legal contexts. Is Valentin a decent name, do yall think? I feel like a bit of a dumbass going from one insane to pronounce name to another, but most male French names are swagless at best and this is the only one I've found acceptable so far. If yall came across a Valentin in the wild (I live in the US and have not met a Valentin before), what would you think? I would also love suggestions, if anyone has any. I've been looking for names that are masculine enough but pretty romantic; whether that romance skews towards a classier vibe or that of a lone cowboy roaming the wild I don't really care. I contain multitudes and while few of them actually have it, all of them would like to have that sort of bravado. Thanks everyone!

If you're here to say something transphobic I don't particularly care but I'd like to ask if you don't have anything better to do with your time. What the hell do you care.
