About this list

I'm nonbinary and I've been out for nearly a year, but although I am now happy that my pronouns (they/them/their/themself) are the right ones for me, I have not been able to find a name that fits. This is a personal list of all the names I am considering for myself. Please note- for some reason this website is forcing me to assign one of 2 genders onto the names in the list so I've just left them all as "m" but that does not mean anything. To me all of these names do not imply either binary gender, they imply my gender (which is kind of the point. I won't even mention that being forced to choose between m or f is causing me great distress as it always does haha)
