Is it bad to have a clocky name as trans person? My legal name is the typical Alex Oliver, because I am a pooner.

    The thing is I don’t live in America, but I have “American style” name. Its very stereotypical pooner name online, but I like it. I just worry people will clock me when they hear my name or think its cringe.

      having an english name in a non english speaking country is pretty clocky, but some names should be fine since they can also be common in other countries. at least i know multiple cis guys named alex or oliver and i’m from germany

      i think you would be the only one to know for sure, but i would imagine alex would just be seen as a weird american name than a pooner name, the vast majority of cis people don’t even think about stereotypical trans names at all
