Hey y’all. I’m 17 years old and a transgender man. I changed my name a while back, and I do like it, but for the longest time, I’ve felt something is missing. It just dawned on me that I don’t have a new Hebrew name. Also, before anyone asks, I have paid homage to my birthname, which was in honor of my Bubbie’s father (so my great Zadie, I suppose), by making my middle name “David,” but I want something that’s ME for my Hebrew name. I understand it might be informal and wrong, and that there are likely processes for this sort of thing, but I don’t feel comfortable consulting my rabbi, and I’m not very religious (I consider myself an atheist), but I am connected to the ethnic aspect of my Judaism.
My chosen name is Luke. I don’t feel too strongly about having it closely related to Luke in spelling. I feel more strongly about it connecting to me as a person, likely something related to nature. So far, I only have Lior as an option, which I like, but I want to see more options before I decide anything.
If anyone feels interested in helping me find one, I am open to any and all suggestions and would deeply appreciate it. I’m sorry if I’ve said anything wrong here; it was not my intent.
