Choosing a new '''name''' can be part of transition for nonbinary people who feel their birth name does not correctly or entirely reflect their [[gender]] and/or [[gender expression]]. Many nonbinary people choose a name that is not coded specifically as male or female—a neutral name—to avoid being labeled as one or the other based on their name. However, a gender neutral name is not a necessity; the same goes for choosing a new name in general. Some nonbinary people choose names with feminine or masculine connotations or choose to keep their birth name. | Choosing a new '''name''' can be part of transition for nonbinary people who feel their birth name does not correctly or entirely reflect their [[gender]] and/or [[gender expression]].

Some nonbinary people choose names with feminine or masculine connotations or choose to keep their birth name. Some nonbinary people choose to go by both a feminine and a masculine name: for example [[Jonathan Rachel Clynch]], [[Meg-John Barker]], and [[James-Beth Merritt]]. | ||
